Happy Easter

We had a lovely family day out today at Steveston, a fishing village in Richmond, just south of Vancouver. We ate fish and chips, toured the salmon cannery museum and hung out at Garry Point Park. This park juts out into the Straight of Georgia so is usually fairly breezy. Today there was a lot of kite flying going on, which Alexander found fascinating. He also loved the beach. After a nap (for Alexander), a cup of tea (for Steph) and a coffee (for Tim) we headed to a great children's play area that has loads of things to keep smaller ones occupied. Of course, at Alexander's age, it also keeps the parents occupied as well. Here are a few photos from our day.

Alexander was fascinated with the kite flying. Had he had a go himself though, we fear we would be still looking for him somewhere up the Fraser Valley.

Alexander seemingly would have been quite happy to wade out into the estuary had we not stopped him. I played around with this photo a little, including adding a sepia tint, in case you were wandering.

Off at the children's play area, Alexander loved a train. This playground actually represents the end of the old interurban train line from Vancouver, so the model train is highly appropriate. It would be great if the real thing was still in operation though.

And finally, Alexander examines some daffodils. One minute he's stroking them gently, the next... well, as they said in Short Circuit, 'no reassemble'!
