Rockit cafe!

Image
  Hi Everyone! A few days ago we went to this cool old rock bands cafe! It had really awesome decorations, my favourite was the microphone lights! And yummy food, they have good pain au chocolat and lemonbutter tarts. Yum! We tried to play the arcade games, but they were a bit broken and we didn't know how to play the one we accidentally chose. Anyway, still fun! To get there, we walked up, across then down a part of Whistler mountain and sadly we saw no bears. Write more soon, -Emily

Upcycled Shirt

Image
  Hi Everyone! Today my family went to the Blackcomb markets! I will write another blog post about the markets next week when I get some decent photos of the stalls. I got a cool upcycled shirt from a lady who redesigns them herself! What she does is she takes a second-hand shirt, dip-dyes the bottom part (with bleach I think), sews a cute patch on the top, adds another pocket from a different shirt and finally screen prints one of her original designs onto it! The design on my shirt is a mountain in Pemberton, I think. (Pemberton is another province 20 mins away) The other designs were dogs, roosters, horses, ferns and the dictionary definition of upcycled. All the animals were real animals! The horse lives up in Pemberton and is called Angel, I'm not sure about the other animals though. Write more soon, -Emily P.S. If you were wondering/wanted to look up this shop on Instagram the name of the shop is Endure

Puppets!

Image
  Hi Everyone, Last week Lily and I went to a puppet making workshop hosted by a ventriloquist. We made some cool puppets! Mine is the orange and brown one and she is called Frappuchino, or Chino for short. She has a new job each week because she is't very good at any of them but she doesn't mind. She actually used to be a hairdresser, and you can see how well that went with the state of her hair... Lily's puppet is called TawnyFrog and she is a loveable, dopey character.

Ice skating

Image
  Hi Everyone, On Friday Lily and my ice skating class had a demonstration to show what we had learnt over the term. I was a bit sad, because it was the last day of lessons and we didn't even learn anything new! I would put a video on here, but the file is too big for the website (or something like that) Write more soon, -Emily

Lovely Walk

Image
Hi Everyone, Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I have been at a loss for blog-worthy things. Yesterday we went on a nice walk in the forest. We found a swing there too! But it was a bit creaky and seems not exactly the strongest swing ever. But the view was great! Don't worry, bears don't hang out in the forests this time of year. They like to go to the golf courses and eat grass and dandelions.  Write more soon, -Emily 

Family (Last?) ski day!

Image
  Hi Everyone, The snow is slowly getting few and far between and one of the mountains has already shut! We went up to a nice part of the still-open mountain called 7th Heaven. The snow was very grippy and there were big lumps everywhere, but I still had a fun time! After we had finished skiing, we walked past these yellow chairs (with a kind of creepy statue in the background...) and we also had a look at the nearby river. Then we went to a very good restaurant called Merlins and had curly fries, onion rings and LEMONADE!!!!! Write more soon, -Emily
