We finally made it out to Confederation Park to ride trains with the Burnaby Central Railway Association. An entire month has passed since they opened on the Easter long weekend; if our boys could actually read a calendar, they would be appalled it took us so long to get there. If you are brave enough, [...]

However I must remind myself, this is not a foodie blog; it is a family-activity blog! The 7th annual Spot Prawn Festival started at [...]
Over spring break my in laws were in town and we were looking for something special to do with the kids. While having dinner on Granville Island my kids, once again, asked to go out on the water taxis, something they beg for Every. Single. Time. Sadly I had to say no, because we just [...]
The other day I bravely took our boys, by myself, to bike ride along the seawall. In hindsight it may not have been the most well thought out decision; it was, however, memorable. Fortunately I elected to do this on a weekday when the seawall is less busy. My biggest mistake, deciding to do this [...]
