a trip to "the BIG city"!

Aaron had been telling Lilah he was going to take her to the BIG city and we would ride the skytrain and do all sorts of fun things so we headed off, just the three of us!In daddy's car on the way!





Waiting for the skytrain. She's pretty excited!

Here it comes!



Very first ride on a skytrain! She loved it!



Lilah thought it was so cool that she could stand up and hold onto the bar as we were moving!




Stopping for a big slice at Uncle Fatih's before we had to take more skytrain to the seabus.





The view from the very dirty window of the seabus. This was the best view of the BIG city for Lilah.






We took the seabus to North Vancouver so we could take a city bus to the bottom of Grouse mountain.







On the gondola up to the top of the mountain. It costs a pretty penny but I guess it was worth it?!




Amazing view from up there!




Having a little snack at the "Altitude Bistro" on Grouse mountain. All Lilah wanted was ice cream and that's what she got!






We saw two grizzley bears in the habitat they have up there.





They were nice and close to the fence so I got a few good pics of the bears.





Playing on the snow. Brrr, I was freezing so Aaron gave me his sweater. He said he was fine and that it was warm, he's crazy;)




Going down the mountain on the gondola. We saw a white wolf sleeping down below us as we were descending.






We went for a short walk in the actual BIG city. And found this water fountain. Lilah would probably liked to have jumped into the water!






As we were taking the skytrain back to our car we saw this really great park, so we got off and played there a bit.







Feeding a very friendly squirrel some dried cranberries!






She crashed on the way home big time! So sweet:)
