We made side trip over to Olympia, Washington to see Eric's friend Brad. Here we are at the pier.
Us kissing in front of the kissing statue.

7/18. We spent most of the day wandering around Whistler Village. It was a cute little village with tons of shops and restaurants and little creek running through it.
Tommy loves warning/danger signs, he used to have a really big obsession with it. We saw these around the village and Eric thought we should take a picture of it. It was a good idea, because when we got the pictures printed he loved them (there's a different one further in), he carries them with him every where.
Brandywine Falls
We couldn't get over how tall the trees were! You could put your head all the way back and you still couldn't see the tops of them.

We found a trail to a suspension bridge....
Look how dense that forest is! Imagine getting lost in that and trying to pick your way through....
7/19 Chekamus Lake
There were these wooden stairs in a couple of places throughout the trail that Eric kept calling, "Prehistoric stairs." I tried to get a picture of them, but it's pretty dark.

7/19 Chekamus Lake
I loved this because that rock in the backround looks like a shark's fin...
Ahh!!! Look out, it's almost got you!
Woodpecker
Mushroom
A wild rodent of some kind (I said hamster). If it weren't for the glowing eyes caused by the camera, you'd never even be able to see this little guy!

7/20; On our way to go ziplining, we stopped and watched the mountain bikers coming down.
All ready!
See that tiny platform on the other end of the gorge, that's our desitnation.
What better way to end a day of ziplining than enjoying a cold one on the balcony?
7/21; "Peak to Peak" Gondola. You go up Whistler Mountain and then you can take another gondola over the canyon to the peak of the adjacent mountain (Blackcomb Mountain). We hiked around for awhile on Whistler before we went over to Blackcomb. Here's a view of Whistler Village from the mountain.
Here's Tommy's other sign:
Eagle's eye view of Chekamus Lake, where it looked like the shark was coming after Eric from a couple of days ago.
Here's Blackcomb Mountain, so many wildflowers!
Look how huge their raspberries are!
7/22; Jetboating! This was so fun, we went jetboating UP Class III rapids. If you ever find yourself in Whistler in the summer, this is a must.

This is the foot of Nairn Falls, it's as far as the boat goes.
7/23; You couldn't really see Nairn Falls from the boat, so the next day we had to hike back up there and see it.
Wedgemount Lake trail; we didn't make it all the way to the lake. It stated thundering like crazy and there were neaby lightning strikes so we turned around. I snapped a couple of quick photos.
7/24; Eric getting glacier water to take home.
Shannon Falls.
Space Needle in Seattle.
