So I have finally finished all of my projects for the semester and just about to start studying for my finals. But I thought I could at least up date my blog. For my own sake. :) Here are the rest of the pictures from Canada.Just a pretty picture of Canada and a sailing boat.
We went to a small river where the salmon were laying their eggs. There were huge fish there and a lot of people fishing. Here is a picture of one of the fishes that was caught. And all of the fishes were this big. They were in groups of 8 and the river was tiny! I could have walked across and barley get my knees wet.
We went to a marker that had grass on the roof and goats living up there. We didn't see any goats because it was raining but still.... Goats, on a roof?
Honestly, no jumping.
For those of you who know me well, I LOVE cheese. So we went to a cheese factory. It was a small place but really cool. We bought some curds and they were delicious!
This was a suspension bridge we went to. The whole time you walked across it, it swayed! It was awesome. And it was a huge drop. It is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world.
After you cross the huge suspension bridge, there were a bunch of little suspension bridges hanging from tree to tree. It was in a rain forest so it was beautiful and I have never seen anything like it in my life. The trees there were amazing, huge, and mossy. I think we should have trees like that in Utah.
Even though it was cold outside, we had to get some ice cream. We sat at a park, which overlooked the bay, and ate our ice cream. People were looking at us funny but, hey we got to eat our ice cream. As you can tell though, it was a fairly sunny day.
This was our first time ever seeing a light house in person. They are pretty cool.
This was our fairy ride. It was sunny but a little bit cold. I have never been on a fairy before but they are very entertaining. It is fascinating to think that they fit all of ours cars on there. I might just be naive but I didn't know that fairies carried our cars to the main land until the day we got on the fairy. Wow I am really naive.
Here was one of the many pictures of water falls that we took. Since there are a lot of rain forests there are a lot of water falls.
Here is Brighton and I holding up a tree. We let everybody pass and then we let it go. When those things fall they are deadly. We saw a tree that was older then Columbus. It was crazy huge. Utah has nothing in trees compared to Canada.
Ya! Kind of scary! I think the last one they had was in '94? I can't remember.
Here is another picture of water and the rain forest.
Here is an Eagle feeding Brighton. We went to a wild animal refuge and saw some amazing animals. We saw some cubs, bald eagles, doves, swans, and more. But my favorite was one of the bald eagles. It had been shot in the wing so they could not let it out in the wild anymore. So the feeder lady was feeding it raw meat and we got to watch her. We were maybe about a foot away from her and the bald eagle was AMAZINGLY beautiful. I am actually really glad that we have it as out country's bird. It is a fascinating bird.
This was our last night there and we were pretty tired. As you can tell there is only one other group of people in the restaurant. Brighton decided that he would do a little dance for our last night there. This is one of my favorite videos because this is Brighton to a T. This is why I love him. You can here me in the background laughing a tired laugh. Even though I may be tired he always has the energy to do something crazy.

Looks like a gorgeous place! I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Canada. I loved the suspension bridges, that looked like a gorgeous place. You know they have moss covered trees here in Washington...you can always come and see them. Then maybe swing by and see us! He he. Sounds like your trip was a blast, and you even got some cheese out of it! That's a double whammy right there. We are glad that you both got home safely though.
That looks so gorgeous there, I'm so jealous! We should get Brighton to put on a performance for us at the Christmas party tomorrow, that would be some funny entertainment... Just a thought!
Susan- They have trees like that in Washington?!?! I am so there. And I will visit you on my way home! We actually flew over Washington and I thought of you guys. There ARE a lot of trees in Washington.
Steph- I asked Brighton about the Christmas party, he said yes!
Yeah...Brighton has always been a goofball! Actually, the whole family is kinda goofy! Can't wait too see you for Christmas! Hope finals went well!
ha ha ha! Did Tinkerbell inspire your fairy ride? Ferry dear, Ferry. Had to do it :) love ya!!! Ellen
Yes they have lots of trees like that here. Right now they are all covered in snow - something really rare here - but there are a lot of pine trees and they look so christmasy all in white. You would like it here. You just sort of get used to the rain...it's really not that bad.
Are you done with school yet? What are you doing now?
