| Whistler weekend We took a long weekend to go to Whistler with some friends
 | 
|  |  |  | 
| The day before we left for Whistler, we saw three coyotes wandering around the neighborhood.  They weren't frightened away when I stopped in my car, but when I tried to get closer to them, they ran off. |  | Stopped for a rest in Horseshoe Bay. | 
| 
 |  | 
 | 
|  |  |  | 
| A mini-houseboat in the bay. |  | I surprised Bobby in the act of starting up the fountain | 
| 
 |  | 
 | 
|  |  |  | 
| Sylvia and Jordan. |  | Omri and Heather.  Heather had a boo-boo from diving out of her stroller. | 
| 
 |  | 
 | 
|  |  |  | 
| Gary and Grace's 2 month old son Colton. |  | The view from our room | 
|

 | 
|  |  |  | 
| The inside - a very nice compact little suit, with kitchen. |  | Views of the pedestrian area in Whistler. | 
| 
 |  | 
 | 
|  |  |  | 
|  |  | There was a Porche exhibition in town Saturday morning.  Dozens and dozens of Porches, which I believe were being judged. | 
| 
 |  | 
 | 
|  |  |  | 
| Putting on the finishing touches. |  | Saw lots of mountain bikers out in what seemed like football gear - very well protected.  I'd want to be well protected as well, if I did what they did. | 
| 
 |  | 
 | 
|  |  |  | 
| Took the gondola up in the afternoon. |  | | 
 |  | 
 |  |  |  |  |  | Okay, it's a little inconvenient, but what a view... |  | Jordan, Heather, and Hanna playing on a chessboard. |  | 
 |  | 
 |  |  |  |  |  | At Blackcomb base, they had a trapeeze set up, open to everyone.  I didn't know it was that easy! |  | Hannah on a trampoline-type springy device. |  | 
 |  | 
 |  |  |  |  |  | Some of the characters around Whistler.  I'm pretty sure the town council hires them to walk around and be entertaining. |  | Gary just got a hug. |  | 
 |  | 
 |  |  |  |  |  | Going out to dinner together at Quattros |  | Gary just didn't know when to stop when it came to desert. |  | 
 |  | 
 |  |  |  |  |  | Eric figuring out how much everyone owed. |  | Shannon Falls, on the way back home. |  | 
 |  | 
 |  |  |  |  |  | We were thinking of going through the Museum of Mining, but contented ourselves with looking through the gift shop. |  |  |  |
