Stanley Has Been So Busy!

This week Stanley has been a busy little flat guy! He has been to some really fun places and he and Alex as well as their family have enjoyed our daily adventures in not just reading and writing but sharing our stories with everyone we meet.
Stanley got to come to the Vancouver Airport Late (VYR) Sunday night to greet Alex's Cousins from Montreal.

Our Vancouver Airport has some wonderful first nations art (Canada's First People) and Stanley loved posing with and learning about each statue and artist. You can find out more about YVR and the art on display by clicking here. 

Canada is a very large country and my sister and I waited for our 4 nieces, 1 nephew and 1 bonus friend to arrive with our sister from Montreal Quebec. The plane landed at just after 1:10 AM, very much past my own bed time! We got home around 2:15 am and we had no power! Our house was very hot and we had 11 people in it! Thankfully when the power started up again just after 3 AM the fans all did their job. Not much sleeping but a memory we will treasure for sure.

Stanley, Alex and all the cousins minus one (Cousin Beth was camping) had a swim day Monday! Good thing that Stanley is laminated!

That evening it was time to head to the Canadian's baseball game at Nat Bailey Stadium. Our baseball team had our wrap up BBQ beside the in field! We got to eat and watch the game. Stanley was hot and tired so we headed home before the 7th inning stretch...

Tuesday we were off and running....to a different country! We went to the USA for Ice cream and Chocolate milk, yes we have these things here but Edaleen Dairy is by far our favorite and worth the 3 hour round trip drive! (okay we ran a few errands and did some other shopping too)

Back home in Canada for lunch and an afternoon Matinee of the Inside Out Movie which we really enjoyed! It was very funny and we learned a lot about  what goes on in our brains with our feelings. It was so much fun to go and it was nice and cool in the theater!

Later on when it was still too hot to even sit still we headed to our local library to get our Weekly Stamp in our Summer Reading club passport! Week one is complete!
That is how we have spent the last few days of summer vacation with Stanley and it is only Tuesday! Tomorrow is Canada day and Alex and Stanley are off to the Canada Day Parade! We look forward to sharing more of our adventures with all of you soon!
