Rocky Mountaineer II

In Whistler we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for lunch.  If you've ever been there before, you know you have the opportunity to weigh yourself before you eat, and again after.  Shelly stepped on the scale and was shocked to see the needle rising to 215...as Brody and Brian helped with a toe each!

 
Sam enjoyed seeing how 'strong' he was :)
Waiting to be seated.  After this, our waits were very short, for which we were glad :)

The spaghetti was enjoyed by all :D
 Then we headed to a playground which the train manager had told us about. We found an effective way to keep Tyler near was to encourage hand-holding, which they both thought was fun and they drew some 'aw's' from passing grandparents.

This playground was built for the Olympics and was QUITE the place - world class.  Kids and adults alike had fun on...
the saucer-like merry go round
 the slide made of spinning red pipes (I want one like this!!)
 and the saucer swing :)
 The Olmpic rings gave us a quick photo op
 as we headed back to the train station and the ride home.

 The canyon was just as amazing on the way back!
 And another special sis-in-law got her picture taken :)
 
We turned on a video for the older kids and others enjoyed a nap,
 or the (somewhat) quieter ride
It was a lovely day with special memories.  Thanks, Gramma, for this special gift!  We're thankful for you!
