Vancouer
Wow! I stayed at my grandparents (in Chilliwack) for Monday night and then headed into Vancouver Tuesday morning. I've only been here since Tuesday but I've done soooo much stuff!! So Tuesday I helped out with camp at the UP mission here. After camp, Tori and I went fishing at Trout Lake. It's a pond that's a few blocks away. Then I went to the grade 6 & 7 Science Fair. That was pretty cool. I remember doing both of mine.
Wednesday there was no camp but I looked after Tori for a couple of hours. Then I went to Stanley Park to relax. I sat in the park and had supper. I watched some huge ships leave the harbour and just took in the scenery.
Thursday morning I met up with my friend Adrian and some of his friends. (I got lost on my way to meet them so I was 45 minutes late!) We rented some canoes and kayaks and headed across Pitt Lake. I was in a kayak. Paddling across the lake only took a few minutes and then we where into a windy marsh area (kinda like at Stoney). We paddled through that for a good 45 minutes. Then beached the boats and hiked for and hour or so. We came to some amazing waterfalls and ate lunch. Then we hiked a few more minutes to some more falls on the same river (Pitt River). I took a bunch of pictures and we had fun climbing rocks and jazz. Then 3 of us decided to jump into the glacier fed river. It was so unbelievably cold!! We only lasted a few seconds. I screamed like a school girl! So we were all laughing at that for a bit. We tried to get Adrian in but he didn't wanna. I don't blame 'im, we almost froze our nay nay's off. Oh ya, I talked with a stranger for a few minutes. Hmmm, what else.......I guess then we hiked back to our boats and paddled back to the docks on the lake.
Today I went out for coffee with Adrian. What an amazing man of God! Man, we talked about ministry and God and struggles for a good 2 hours. Then I helped out with camp (not really actually). We had a water fight and that was about it (I had missed most of it while at Timmy's). Then I went fishing with Zacc and Tori at Trout Lake for a couple hours. Skunked again (stupid city "lakes"). Then Zacc and I hoped on the SkyTrain and went to see a show at the IMAX Theatre. We saw some 3-D African Safari thing. It was pretty sweet.
Tomorrow I'm going to the Aquarium with Cheryl. That'd should be cool. It's supposed to be raining so we're not going to Lynne Canyon like I had wanted to. Then I'm going to Vancouver Island to fish and relax. Oh, I'm gonna try and get some pictures up here soon. I think I've taken about 100 pictures on my digital. That's all, buh-bye.
