Rest Of February: Vancouver, BC

Happy March 1st! The rest of February was a good mix of relaxing and busyness for us. We took two weekend trips up to Vancouver, BC - one with the kids and one without the kids. Other than that, most days were spent staying in, reading books together and just hanging out. Maybe it's pregnancy and I get tired more easily because of it now, I haven't been feeling too adventurous about venturing out with the kids or doing playdates. Definitely extra thankful for the wonderful Seattle libraries and kid-friendly coffee shops near our neighborhood, which are this tired mama's life saver.

Here are some of the pictures we snapped while in Canada...

Collage Collage, a cute little art studio/shop where we spent a rainy afternoon together

We always do Granville Island in Vancouver because the kids love chasing the crows and pigeons outside and we get to buy fresh fruits at the market there.

We went to the public library in downtown Vancouver. Was very impressed with how big the kids' floor was.

So many options of Japanese candies at a little shop on Robson St.

As any trips with kids, we spent a good amount of time just having fun in the hotel

We went in for their open studio time. Z painted a wooden bird house, N a cobra, and mama a wooden house :) So fun!

Nay's love for animals and any living creature is still going strong. He stood in front of the fish stand for a good 10 minutes and we learned all the names of each fish.

We stumbled upon Liberty coffee shop/bakery in the main street neighborhood. They have the cutest sugar cookies!

Grass Jelly Roasted Milk Tea and Mango QQ also on Robson St :)

Izzy got sick the day we went to Vancouver, so this rare smile of hers during a bath was so precious

Izzy kept herself busy in the little play corner inside Collage Collage. She loves dolls. Any dolls!

We splurged and let the kids play at the arcade. They were picking out prizes with the few tickets we got. Brought back so many of my own childhood memories!

Also taken at the library...realized I didnt have any other pics there. We obviously loved this photogenic staircase there haha!

Traditional Japanese breakfast at Marulilu near downtown

Eating lychees and loving it!! My true Taiwanese children :)
