Whistler 2007

Tommy took his first trip to Canada over Valentine's Day. We were joined by our good friends Sarah and Travis, who drove up from Portland to hang out with us. Tommy didn't seem to mind the cold weather, he just hated wearing gloves and getting bundled up. It rained most of the trip, but we still managed to have lots of fun and see many great things in the area.

Tommy is very excited about the upcoming 2010 Olympics...he's already a Gold Medalist! Here we pose outside the visitors' information center with our little champion.
Bobsled, anyone?
Here Tommy gazes out from our hotel window toward the ski runs leading into the village. You can't see one of the gondola cars in the photo, but he LOVED them! The word of the week was "gondadadada." He rode one to the top of the mountain with buddies from the hotel kids' club while Mommy & Daddy hit the slopes one day. We can't wait for little man to join us next year!
Goofing around. It was way too cold for any real boating!
Here he shows off his new tourist t-shirt. Uncle Travis wanted to squirt it with ketchup (he's not a fan of the Canucks).

A picturesque lake on the road between Whistler and Vancouver on our way back home. Tommy exclaimed "BEACH!" when we got out of the car...it was very windy though, so not the best time for a dip in the brisk waters of B.C.!We also spent a nice afternoon in downtown Vancouver, where Tommy enjoyed weaving through the crowds of people (wearing his backpack, of course). He really liked all the hustle and bustle and got many smiles from passers-by as he made his way up Robson Street.
