Just two days after my party, we were off to Canada to visit my cousins, aunts and uncles and hang out at grandma marg’s. I was very excited to go to Canada. My dad has been telling me stories of beautiful British Columbia since I was born. I was looking forward to seeing the mountains, rivers, bears, eagles and salmon. Our first stop was Vancouver. We then took a bus to the ferry and crossed the Georgia Strait to Victoria on Vancouver Island. The ferries in Canada are quite different than the ones in Costa Rica! Super big and definitely more comfortable! My parents enjoyed getting Starbucks coffee! The ride across the water was relaxing and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. We arrived to my Uncle Blaine’s house and I got to play with my cousins Gavin and Ethan. We stayed there for most of the week and then my cousins Madeline and Mitchell travelled over from Vancouver for a visit and the whole family was together. While my mom and I did therapy all my cousins helped out and cheered me on! It was great spending time with my cousins and the rest of the family.
After spending time in Victoria, we headed back to Vancouver to spend the night at Uncle Blake’s and then off to my grandma’s house in Kitimat! Kitimat means people of the snow so you know where we are heading further north! We took a small plane and arrived at my grandmother’s house about 3 hours later. I really enjoyed my time at my grandma’s. I was able to hang out and relax and my parents too! My dad went fishing and caught us some yummy salmon. I got to meet alot of people and was able to do some physical therapy at the local children’s devlopment center. It was a great trip and much needed relaxation.
