day two...


Today we woke up to rain.  That's not surprising here.  They get a lot of rain.  This picture is from our balcony.

We spent time in our place, just reading and being lazy!  

Then, you are never going to guess what Daddy did!  (Tootsie, take a deep breath before proceeding!)  We drove about an hour to a town called Nanaimo.  It was a beautiful drive, with green trees and plants everywhere!  It reminded me that we don't have moss in Denver!  You can ask Carpom and Grandpa what moss is if you don't know.  We drove by so many small farms where they raise chickens and cows and different kinds of plants.

Here are a couple of pictures on the ride...



We arrived at our destination and, like I said before, you are never going to believe what Daddy did!!  He bungy jumped!!!!  Do you know what that means? It means that he got hooked up to a big rope kind of like a rubber band and then he jumped off of a really high bridge!!  The rubber band stops him from going into the water down below.  It looks really scary to me!  But Daddy said it was SO MUCH FUN!!  It's only something that adults get to do.  It's really dangerous unless you get help from adults who know what they are doing.

Here's the big, big bridge he climbed up on...


There's Daddy way up there!  He's standing beside a Canadian flag...



Here he is getting ready to jump!!!  And the pictures after that are of him jumping!!!  You have to look really carefully to see him.  If you want to see the pictures bigger, just click your mouse on top of them and then after you are finished looking, click the back button.









Here he is just swinging upside down!!



After he stopped bouncing on the big rubber band, a man paddled out a raft under him and Daddy was dropped down onto the raft and taken to the side of the river where he walked back up to me!


Can you believe he did that?!?!?  Daddy is so brave!  And adventurous!  There's a video and I will try and post that later.

I hope you had a great, fun day.  Tomorrow is Sunday and we are going to try and go to a church here that's a little bit like our church in Denver.

We love you all.  Give each other kisses and hugs from us!
