Lord Stanley Park

Stanley Park in Vancouver is the largest Canadian park in the world, according to information I just made up and typed on the internet. It's really really really big and green and awesome. Jen and I took the kids there this afternoon and they loved it.


The entrance to Stanley Park has amazing views of the city. The sun is in our eyes, which is why Shelton looks like she needs a quick visit from an epi-pen.




Shelton learned a new trick and became friends with every kid in the park, including the two children you can see at the end of this video. This video was taken prior to Shelton, trying to help the little boy ride this zip line thing, almost sent him to the hospital. This all conforms to the old saying "Dutch children should not ride zip lines." It's more of a prophecy, really.


Jen found a flower as big as Shelton's head.



These pictures were taken in such a manner that you can't tell that we're up on top of this huge tree that had fallen in the park. I used the passive voice here instead of saying "Jen took this picture in such a manner that you can't tell etc." I used the passive voice because I'm a good husband.

Instead of hauling the tree off, they trimmed it and left it there for people to climb and take pictures on. More Canadian ingenuity. Yay Stanley Park!
