Canada's Thanksgiving Holiday - DAY 1

Canada's Thanksgiving is celebrated the first Monday in October. So this year it fell on October 8th. Brandon got the day off from school, so Sam, Katrina & Desi came to visit. We had SO much fun. 

Day 1, Friday:

Brandon had school. Sam, Katrina & Desi went on a walk all the way around Stanley Park and back to our apartment - I think that's about 12 km. 



When they got back, they gave Cambree a new toy they brought up - balloons. She LOVED it.





Then, we went to Granville Island. My favorite. We picked up some fresh fruit, went to a near-by park & relaxed and ate the fruit while Cambree & Sam took a nap in the grass.



Once we got done there, Brandon was out of class! So he met up with us, we went to our favorite Ramen place, then to Thierry. At Thierry they have liquid chocolate, it's like hot chocolate but thicker and creamier. So, so, so good. Another thing they have there that we love are macaroons. They have the exact amount of chewyness & sweetness. It's a perfect cookie. 





That was all in one day! It was so much fun. I love having family come up and visit. It's so beautiful here & there's always something to do, so it makes for a perfect vacation! I'll post again, soon, our next few day adventures.
