Jer and I just got back from a very relaxing get-away to Vancouver, BC! It was only the 2
nd time that we've left the kids overnight. Grandma flew in to stay with them while we were away and the kids were so excited, they could hardly stand it. In fact, as soon as Luke saw Grandma, he reached for her and was perfectly content to be with her! I knew the kids would be in good hands, but seeing Luke react that way just made everything so much easier! We did so many things and just had a great time hanging out with each other! Here are a few highlights:

This is the beautiful ski resort of Whistler, Canada, home to some of the venues for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Here we are about to embark on the highlight of our trip....the Zip Trek. We Zipped through the forest on suspension cables and it was an experience like no other.
Jer getting ready to plunge down a few hundred meters on the zip trek. Did you know
Jer is afraid of heights?? No turning back now, honey!!!

Whee! It kind of looks like
Jer's feet are on the snow, but they're not! He's on a 1,000 foot line that dropped 16 stories - the height of the Eiffel Tower.

Don't you just love running into people you haven't seen forever?? We were so surprised to run into Val and Trudy from our little NY ward in Canada of all places! It was great to get caught up over breakfast! We ate the most delicious Crepes (their daughter Jackie's pick!) at this quaint little cafe.

Here I am getting set to cross the Lynn Valley Suspension Bridge (thanks Lisa, for the tip!) Below this
shakey (especially with
Jer in tow) bridge, was a gorgeous waterfall! It was raining just a bit which was such a treat for us! We rarely see rain or overcast days.

Thanks Grandma....We love you!!
