One last Merlins "Apres"

Image
  Hi Everyone, We went on a nice walk through Blackcomb today. We haven't gone to this part of town this time and it was really pretty with (fake :(  ) flower arcs, little streams and potted plants. After our walk we went to Merlins (which Dad and I like to go to for apres ski) and had one last meal there before we go to the UK. The lemonade, as usual, WAS HEAVENLY.   In other news, the ice skating rink is finally open again after shutting for a while at the start of Summer. I'm very excited to skate again!

Train Wreck Walk

Image
Hi Everyone! Yesterday Mum and Dad took Lily and I on a walk through a very pretty forest to an old train wreck! The wreck derailed in 1957; its' around 70 years old! It has since become a popular place for graffiti artists and is very colourful.  Some of the train carriages were SUPER squished! All of them also had big holes cut into them when the people who owned the train came to strip the salvageable parts from the wreck. The walk had lots of tourist coming to see the wreck as well, but it wasn't too crowded. There is a beautiful river beside the wreck too. We had to cross a bridge to get to the wreck. I also found a cool tree that looks cool to sit in (although it was significantly less comfortable than I originally thought...) Write more soon, -Emily

Canada Day!

Image
  Hi Everyone, Yesterday was Canada Day! There were heaps of flags on people's houses and almost everyone was dressed in red and white! We went to the parade that was being held and there were many cool costumes and people walking! Some beekeepers were even taking their bees for a walk using special carry hives! It was super cool. Here are some pics!  Write more soon, -Emily
