Douglas Fir

This past weekend Declan participated in a hockey tournament in Gibsons, BC.  The schedule was such that he had only one game on Saturday morning.   Because Gibsons is just a short 40 minute boat ride away from Vancouver, we had decided to spend the afternoon at Capilano Suspension Bridge and Park.   Unfortunately, Darby could not be with us as he was back in Powell River playing in a hockey tournament of his own.   Darby's team fared better than Declan's as Darby won a bronze medal and Declan's didn't win a game.  Declan did earn a personal sportsmanship award though!  If only it were possible to be in two places at once.  This is a picture of Declan and Ella at the base of Douglas fir trees in the park.

And of course we crossed the Capilano Suspension Bridge.  That's Declan peering off to the left alone in the centre of the bridge.  Close to the bottom of the picture you can see the back of little blond Ella wearing a brown coat as well as Grandma in the green jacket.  Yes, the bridge bounced and swayed while you walked across.

Admittedly, I had difficulty crossing the bridge but it was well worth it.  On the other side there is a part of the park known as the "Tree Top Adventure".    It was hard not to think of Ewoks.
