I flew up to Oregon to spend a week with Rodger. It was truly beautiful up there. I had an opportunity to go Off Roading, shoot guns, take a ride on his Harley and spend some good quality time with Rodger. We even went through the Portland Temple together.

We went to Vancouver for vacation and had a great time. We started out by flying into Seattle Washington. We saw the Space Needle. It was really boring, I wasn't that impressed by it but I was gglad we had the experience. We then drove to Vancouver. Vancouver has alot of tall building and lot's of people walking the streets. I didn't like running into all the smokers..yuck. We are spoiled in California where there are certain area's people can smoke in order to protect the health of others. I found that most other countries allow people to puff their poisions in your face.

They didn't have air conditioning in any buildings in Vancouver, so we had to keep our window's open. You heard noises all night long...car's honking, people partying etc. It starts to get dark their around 10pm and it get's light at 4pm. So there isn't too much dark time there. We went to Grouse Mountain which the kids loved. We went Zip lining and the boys had such a blast. The forrest there is truly beautiful. We also went to Victoria Island. It wasn't worth going...$200 for the ferry around trip and there really wasn't much to do. We went to Burchart Garden's and Butterfly Gardens. I enjoyed them but the boys were bored. We also went to Capilano suspension bridge and Stanley park. The boys and I bike rode at the park. The park is right on the coast line...it was beautiful.

I wanted to take my son fishing on the 4th of July. So we had Breakfast at the church and then we drove to Balboa Island to go fishing. I believe Heavenly Father was really watching over me. I went to the ATM to get some money out and the ATM sucked up my card without allowing me to put anything in. I hit every button on the machine and it wouldn't give me my card back nor allow any transactions. So I ended up driving off without getting money or my card. An hour later I received a call that the police department has recovered my ATM card and they will bring it to my house. What Heavenly Father did was have an honest person receive my ATM card. The police car drove up to the ATM to get money out. The machine wasn't working so they hit cancel and out popped my card. They put their ATM card in and the machine ate it up. The police located my phone number and brought my card to my house while I was on the fishing boat.

I had a wonderful time fishing. I have always loved fishing but my son needs to get his Sea legs. He didn't have a fun time at all. As soon as he dropped his line, he was throwing up. So he didn't do much fishing. He had to go lay down. I on the other hand had a great time. I caught a couple Sand Bass. I only got to keep one, the other was too small.
