♥ This Is My Vancouver ♥

So before the Vancouver Riots even happened, I had a trip planned to Vancouver for my kids and I.

I thought screw it, I'm going to take the kids anyways. With all the negative press that Vancouver has been getting over some stupid morons, I thought now would be a great time to show my kids just what Vancouver is all about.... but I didn't realize how close the condo we were staying in was to the scene of the riots.

So we got to the 32nd floor of this building on Granville Street and looked out the hallway window and it struck me. 36 hours before we arrived the streets were jam packed with people and lots of rioting fools.

My kids and I were beside ourselves just thinking about what happened and how close this building was to the crazy chaos.  Now being that my kids were born and raised in Abbotsford they are not used to the big city.

When we come to Vancouver as a family it's usually to go to the PNE or Stanley Park in the summer.

They've never really got to experience downtown Vancity.

And I'm so happy that they saw the REAL Vancouver where people were happy, smiling, cheering, dancing and having fun in the streets. NOT what they've been seeing on TV the past week.

So here are a few pics of our adventure this past weekend.

So with that...... THIS IS MY VANCOUVER!!! ♥ ♥
