Last week Saturday Teresa and I went to Stanley Park in downtown Vancouver with the kids and just chilled all day.
When we felt like moving on, we moved on. When we felt like stopping, we stopped. It was one of the last great beautiful days of the summer of 2005.
The kids found their way onto a temporary tidal island:

We lounged a little on some of the sculptures near Stanley Park:

Teresa saw some amazing flowers for this late in the season:

Ethan and Gabrielle found this dragonfly, who consented to be both photographed (multiple times) and touched (twice):

We spent probably an hour at a tiny portion of Third Beach (yes, it’s named that because it’s the third beach as you’re walking around Stanley Park) …

All kids love the beach, and Aidan is no exception:

Neither is Ethan:

Teresa made her mark in the world:

And we all had a wonderful day!
