Whistler Week

It is lovely to have grandparents who want to spend time with the whole family. This past week all of us have been visiting with Chris's mom and dad at a condo in Whistler. It was a wonderful chance to be able to be together in a place that has something for everyone:
Hiking and Berry Picking for us all (the wild blueberries were incredible)













Spending time laughing together (Sage is in love with her Poppy)

Biking in the dirt bike park (Sterling took his training wheels off and hasn't looked back! Here he is after only one day of practicing sans wheels, riding up and down the "jumps" at the Whistler BMX park)























Building Fairy Houses (Siena isn't a bike rider yet, but she had just as much fun building special fairy houses by the side of the bike path)


Nonna and Poppy enjoyed daily hikes, despite the rain. They took each of the kids out on a special date night - dinner alone with Nonna and Poppy, with dessert and a trip to the toy shop at the end. While the kids loved the treats, they each felt so grown up to spend time alone with their special grandparents. And for the parents - we loved having time "alone" (mostly - Sage is always with me!) with each of our kids as well. Two is so much easier than three!

What a wonderful week we've had! We are home now, ready for a night at home before packing up and heading off again tomorrow (this time to Barnabas Family Camp).
