Our wee elephant

Getting ready for the big day....

Sometimes he is just so *cute*!!

Artsy shots in Stanley Park

How do you not smile when you see this picture?? What a moment to capture...

And us, hanging out in the park.

Ice Cream!

After a successful morning at the aquarium, what better thing to do than go for ice cream together?? We stopped at the crown glory of gelato places on the way home from the city.. and the funny thing about kids.. you do not have to teach them how to eat an ice cream cone!!!

Pumpkin patch!!!

These are like big drums...

You can tell, Brandon is communing with the Great Pumpkin, wondering what great art is going to emerge from within...

I love pasta (this is not a tan)

A train ride..

In front of a big train... and the wonder of a smaller train...

Lighthouse Park

a really cool family pic!

Our bear

back at the beach...

at the end of a day....

So much harder to get that "money shot" now that he is getting older, he moves a lot more, and I am trying to get candid shots, but it can be tricky. This is truly an advantage of digital cameras - you can take a zillion shots, and then edit, edit, edit!!
