Family sent some pictures from home of Vancouver’s first snow this year. It just happened that I had taken some pictures in Yonghe on those same days.

In the Yonghe photos you’ll see morning commuters’ breakfast, Yonghe style, at 8:45am on our walk to work. Yonghe is known for its breakfast foods and drinks, and you can get stuffed quick with rice rolls, bean drinks, onion buns, and all kinds of stuff. The 2nd breakfast photo has a tree beside the cart that is growing right through the asphalt – I guess they just paved around it. There’s a mostly empty subway car at around 10:50am. Don’t be deceived… these things get packed fuller than the Skytrain after a game. But when they’re full it’s hard to get a picture without being right up in somebody’s face. I also tried to find the sky from our bathroom and bedroom windows.

I guess Grama and Grandpa will have to fly to Vancouver to play in the snow. We are having spring like weather in Niagara Falls. Cut the grass and raked leaves yesterday. Love to you and Chou Chou.xo
Ah, snow. I can’t wait to go home to Colorado and to go sledding. Perhaps this year Nathan and I will build a snow fort and challenge the kids in our neighborhood to a snow fight. Twenty against us two, seems so unfair for them.
Ha. I pity the children.
I hit a little kid in the side of the head with this water cannon this summer when we took the ESL kids to a park in greater Vancouver. These particular cannons had a timer, and you had to push a button to make them spray again. Mine turned off. This little kid (really little, like kindergarten or grade one) waddled into range. I aimed, one of the ESL kids pushed the button, and toasted him right up the side of the head. He never saw it coming. It was so funny. Except his mom was watching.
