Thanksgiving fun at the Garbett Home! These special turkeys were made for the kids so the adults could eat all the pies and cheesecake. But, the adults enjoyed them as much as the kids.

Okay family and friends, we are finally entering (slowly, very slowly) the 21st century with the help and lots of patience of Denovan. We spent a glorious week in British Columbia and with some prodding, (okay, alot of prodding ) we were convinced to make our own blog site to share our photos. The first slide show is from the Capilano Suspension Bridge in Capilano - of course- just north of Vancouver. Also included are pics from Whistler about 2 hours further north. Whistler will host the alpine sports - skiing, bobsled, crosscountry skiing, etc.- for the 2010 Winter Olympics. We actually stayed in what will be the Olympic Village. It was so beautiful we hated to leave. But, we will return SOON we hope.

We started our trip in Vancouver, British Columbia where we stayed at the Pan Pacific. The Hotel was actually built to look like a cruise ship from the outside, sails and all. From our room we had a beautiful view of the bay and Stanley Park on the other side. We watched the sea planes landing and taking off regularly and the ferries transporting people and vehicles to North Vancouver (the other side of the bay). In the late spring and summer we could have also seen cruise ships docking. The highlight of Vancouver was being able to attend church in Ward that Scott had served part of his mission. We met many who were there when he served, what a wonderful time. Scott was able to find his old mission home which is now listed as an historic sight (privately owned now). The interesting structure that we are standing in front of is an inuksuk, it is a symbol of peace and friendship originating from the aboriginal tribes. It is a fitting symbol for the 2010 Winter Olympics.
