#175 Apr 2018 Spring Surprises


Easter was quiet except for our Easter Bottle Hunt! We met in the RV Park Garden and hunted for single serving bottles instead of eggs. A very adult hunt and of course we had to sample our treasures. 



We also shared a pot luck supper with our Happy Hour friends on Saturday and with our family on Sunday. Our Easter bunnies looked on.


Just before Easter Dave texted us asking if we would be home the following weekend. Yes, why are you asking? Dave got a fantastic deal as part of a charter flight from Calgary to Vancouver. 


The Easter Bunny must have had inside information about their trip because he came to our RV and left treats for Danica.



She thanked the biggest Easter Bunny she could find.


Many times we have said we should visit the HR MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver and this was the time.


We all enjoyed the information and hands on exhibits – especially touching a piece of the moon. It’s hard to believe that rock was created 3.75 billion years ago and then travelled almost 400,000 km to an exhibit in Vancouver.


Danica was ready to go to space and look for more rocks.


In 2015 we also touched a piece of the moon at Kennedy Space Center (see our post #79).

Lindsay and Danica had to work to lift this 13kg piece of meteorite. 


Our space explorations were almost eclipsed by a family of Canada geese on a ledge outside the building.





Mama rearranged the eggs as we watched.




A trip on the seabus to Lonsdale Quay is always a treat.


The Q invited Danica, Lindsay and her boyfriend Rick, to climb to the lookout.



There is always something funky to see at the Quay.


We had a fun, relaxing weekend.

As you may have noticed I really enjoy flowers. Kari is often my companion for flower outings, whether her garden


 Or the Abbotsford Tulip Festival.



Spectacular as always.
