During spring break, our family of 6 decided to hit up Stanley Park. We are\u00c2\u00a0camping in\u00c2\u00a0Banff and Jasper this summer and need to \u2018practice\u2019 being out in public all together.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m joking. But mostly I\u2019m serious.<\/p>\n

After driving the loop around the park to gain\u00c2\u00a0our bearings, our first stop was the hollow tree. Believed to be about 1000 years old, this tree remnant is the largest left in the park. As I age, these types of facts\u00c2\u00a0are more and more interesting to me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mattias, age 7, is interested in photography and has learned how to focus on DSLR\u00c2\u00a0camera and takes a decent photo. He snapped this one of Art.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We stopped at Second Beach for lunch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Self-timer photos. Camera propped on camera bag on stroller.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The source of Kate\u2019s delight is a seagull.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The beach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chasing the seagull.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Off to the first playground at the park.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You really have to follow this girl around. She loves to explore.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

I may frame this one of the 3 boys. I love the gnarly tree\u00c2\u00a0(and the kids).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then we were off to visit the totem poles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Noah loves learning about the First Nations and he insisted that we discuss the story of each totem pole.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Across from the parking lot from the totem poles was a beautiful view of the city.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This one also might be a framer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then we walked the seawall for a bit.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Back in the warm van, Kate thought she should drive.\"\"<\/p>\n

Then to Caf\u00c3\u00a9 Cr\u00c3\u00aape for dinner. Yum.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Watching our crepes being made.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fun selfies.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Mattias thought that it was so cool that the crepe place was next to the Orpheum where he had visited on a field trip earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We still had an hour of parking left so we wandered the streets of Vancouver. Mattias pushed the stroller through \u2018rush hour\u2019 pedestrian traffic.<\/p>\n
