Vancouver Trip

Last week my family and I went to Canada again. This time to Vancouver BC, not WA.

The first night we got to one of our relatives house in Abotsford at midnight. The next day, Friday, we swam in their inflatable Costco pool. Later in the day we went to my Grandparents'/aunt's house in Vancouver and my cousin Petra came with us. We went to an outdoor public pool. It was pretty crowded becasue it was hot that day just like it was all week. It was only ten bucks for seven people. On weekends it was free but we didn't go becasue we suspected it would be even more crowded. My brother and I went on the diving board most of the time while my cousins and sister stayed in the pool and swam.

A few days later my aunt took my siblings, my cousin, and I for a walk around town. We first ate at Mcdonalds and started walking to a playground. On the way we spotted tents and my aunt wanted to check it out even though no one else wanted to. It turned out to be a good idea though because they were giving out free goodies like otter pops and popcorn, which felt really good on the hot summer day.

When we finally got to the park I noticed that it was very large. I mean huge. But what was weird was that is was in the middle of nowhere. There was a snack shack, a water park, a smelly gross bathroom, and a bunch of playgrounds. I don't know how there was so many people there since it was in the middle of nowhere. But after we were done playing we walked back to the house and got some slurpees on the way. In Canada, there are slurpee's at every gas station. In America, they only have them at 7 eleven (not including ICEE's, they're not that good and the only got two flavors) and they still are a little bit to watery.

When we got back, everyone's feet were aching except my aunt's. She wore us out.

A few days after that we went to our other relatives house for a barbecue with Chinese food and lots of dumplings. But we had to move all the tables and chairs because there was a bee's nest on the tree that everything was under.

When it was time to go home we got to the border, and the big neon sign said the border had a one and a half an hour wait. But we had to go to the bathroom so we went to the duty free shop and got a little bit ahead in the line. Finally we got through and went back home.
