Here the kids are at the big white rock...in Whiterock, of course. The tide comes in so fast here that if you don't get out on the sand right away it might not be there when you come back. Scott and Mandy found that out with us while they were here. We got there and ten minutes later we had to find another beach.

Here are two pictures from Amleside Beach in North Vancouver. The beach sucks -it's all rock and wood and the kids won't get in the water cause it's too cold- but it's really cool to watch the ships sail out of Vancouver harbor. We were already impressed by the tanker ships out on the ocean, and then three of these cruise ships sailed by. They really are hotels on the water. The tankers would hardly even reach the deck rails on these babies. We were all impressed.
