Lynn Headwaters

There are adventures that we’ve had that I don’t want to forget about and so in between the posts about New York, I’ll be sharing some of our recent adventures…..if I don’t, then I’ll get too far behind and when that happens, then I don’t even want to post about them…but the New York posts are coming…I promise!!!!

Last Saturday, before we headed out to the airport to pick up Geli…..Jon and the boys and I headed into North Vancouver for an adventure.

We had thought about going to Lynn Canyon, but I didn’t think we’d be able to navigate the trails with the stroller and I didn’t feel like carrying 30lbs of Judah around and so we went to where there were trails…

Just before we hit the trails, I grabbed Jeremy in for a quick squish, this way there is at least some photographic evidence that I am in fact on this particular adventure.

This is an “in motion” photo…..these little boys are ALWAYS MOVING! We had to park in the first overflow parking lot as the parking lot was full…..so we hiked up the road a little till we got to the headwater trails…

We stopped and had a bathroom break before we headed out because a certain little boy has a bladder the size of a…….well, I was going to say pea, but somehow that just doesn’t sound proper and so lets ust say that he ALWAYS has to go and just leave it at that…

While we waited for the big boys to finish up the paperwork, Siah was showing me how he was gonna go all ninja on any bears that he saw….

We crossed the little bridge and the boys were so excited, Jon had to hold them back from flinging themselves into the rushing water below….okay, well not quite, but we both felt a little stressed at how excited they were and how big those gaps were in the “fence”…

We walked up the path and turned right…..we really had no plan and we were mostly killing time while letting the boys run “wild” out in the bushes where they really can’t “wreck” anything…..and so we took our time and climbed on top of the rocks and took pictures of them doing anything and everything….

We walked down the path a bit more and came to this cement tube and before we could say or do anything, Josiah cimbed feet first into and slide right through and out the other end….it’s not a big tube but he fit – thankfully – and didn’t get stuck!!!! He was a little dirtier than we had planned and we still had to go and get Geli….so we told him…no more exploring like that…..if you look very carefully, you can see his little face peering up from the bottom of the tube.

Judah wasn’t really sure why he had to stay in the buggy. He really , Really, REALLY (with a lot of screechiness and general upsetedness) let us know that he really wanted to get down and play in the dirt too!

Jeremy showing us that he is the “king of the world”….

I really, love BC…..I love the trees and the woods and……well, it’s JUST! SO! BEAUTIFUL!

We did let Judah get out while the older boys were “exploring” in the trees. He really liked the rocks. He’s in a bit of a throwing stage right now…it’s fun…sometimes!

When it was time to move on, this was about how happy Judah was that he had to get back into the buggy….and so we ended up carrying him anyway. So silly!

I don’t know why exactly, but I LOVE this next photo.

I think this tree looks like a Shrek House and aren’t my boys cute!

After this, my phone died and I didn’t get any more photos, BUT….basically, we turned around and headed back to the van because it was time head into Vancouver to go to the airport to pick up Geli….

The boys were asking to go back even before we left and so I’m hoping we’ll have another opportunity to get back into Lynn Valley before the summer is over!
