Vancouver- Day at Whistler/ Blackcomb Mountain(s)

On the way to Whistler- 1/2 way there there's a place called Squamish- beautiful- 

and they had tea, so we had to stop.

Tara and Scottie before our up-the-mountain adventures.

Whistler Village.  I don't think I thought I'd ever see it somehow, but I did. It was hard on Nanny's back to walk much, but we had a really nice time despite it:) 

Going up.....

Me at Whistler.

This pic is for John Tingley- there is a major bike track on part of the mountain- people were seriously geared up to do this- even kids!!

This kid looked like one mean-machine. 

Up we go on gondola #1- to the top of Whistler

Awesome views- getting colder...

At the top!

Gondola #2 was much sturdier- it goes between the tops of Whistler and Blackcomb- suspended:)  It was crazy, crazy high- I don't think Mama would have liked this at all!:)

Sistas

Clouds looming

 From Blackcomb Mtn we came down by chairlift.
That's right.  Open air, death, etc.  

Scott was not OK with this. 

He was especially not OK with my taking pictures of the frightening experience:)

Tara was very non-stressed out by the whole thing...

The view coming back down to earth, and the weather got so much warmer on the way down, too- it was very cool.

The drive home was gorgeous.  

Tara and I were in the backseat laughing at something so hard I think we were crying.

It was super fun:)
