Kayla’s first trip to Canada

Last weekend Cheryl, Kayla, and I went up to Vancouver to visit with friends. It was our first trip out of country with Kayla, but we already had a passport for her, so we were ready.

I was paranoid about the ride itself, worried that Kayla would wake up and not be able to stay asleep. When we realized the border line going north was about 40 mins long we were both concerned that Kayla would wake up and be crying for the border patrol. This was not the case, she slept the whole way to Vancouver, so no problems at all!

We stayed at Taleen and Stephan’s house just east of Vancouver. Their daughter, Charlotte, is almost a year old, so it was good for Kayla to meet and play with another baby for a change. While Stephan and I watched rugby Cheryl and Taleen met with Stacey and Steven. Andrea, Dana, and Kelly later joined us to hang out with the babies as well. Good times!

Sunday morning I woke up early to go to Squamish with Glade, and a few north shore friends. We decided to ride a new trail “Half Nelson”. The trail is very smooth, Lee brought his web cam, and took a video of our ride – pretty jittery, but you get the idea.

Sunday night we had dinner at Jen and Glade’s house, with Jen’s mom as well – they cooked a great lasagna, and Kayla once again stole the show.

Before too long it was time to head back, we were once again surprised that Kayla slept the whole way home. I think she likes road trips!
