a full day

So today started with Sandy, Lindie and I driving to the skytrain station to pick up Ryan, a guy from Australia who is in Canada for a year and has been in Vancouver for a week now. Sandy met him on her plane ride back from California. Then we drove to Golden Ears Provincial Park where we hung out at Alouette Lake.

We had our hearts set on kayaaking, but unfortunately the boat rentals were closed... but luckily I had kites in the back of my car! Some of them didn't work too well,b ut in the end to make them longer, we tied five different kites together and flew them.. they were pretty high in the end and the string was pretty hard to hold on to, because of the wind drafts up top, but it was a lot of fun! My favorite moment was when i accidentaly let go of our string of five kites and it started flying away. Ryan got up and started madly running after it all the way down the beach and he ended up catching it! Yay! I think we lost our Dora kite on the way however.

Then we went hiking for a couple of hours and went to some nice waterfalls in the park. After the hike we drove back home and enjoyed some Red Robins for dinner and then went to the drive-in movie theatre where we watched the ending of Mission Impossible 3 and Failure to Launch all fromt he comfort of my brother's pick up truck.

All in all, it was quite the fun day, I am a red lobster and ready for bed! Pictures from the day will be up hopefully tomorrow or the day after!
