See this bridge?

That’s the Capilano Suspension Bridge. It’s a 230-foot drop down! And! It’s held up by cables, people!!! IT SWAYS! AND!!! Once you walk across… you have to walk back across to get out. I was so scared!!!!!

I made it, though. Somehow.

But that wasn’t all!

Once you’re across the bridge, you can do this thing called Treetops Adventure.

It’s actually pretty interesting (not to mention beautiful). They’ve put in these mini-suspension bridges between platforms around trees in the (temperate) rainforest. The platforms are engineered so they won’t interfere with the trees’ growth and development. It’s an eco-friendly, educational, beautiful, terrifying attraction!

Plus, check out this pretty hydrangea!

After enjoying the Capilano Bridge Park, we ventured over to Stanley Park to visit the Vancouver Aquarium.

Guess what? THEY HAVE A BABY BELUGA WHALE! She’s only a month old!!

She is so adorable! That’s her with her mom!

Here she is about to spray water on a bunch of unsuspecting children!!!!

After the aquarium, we checked out some more of the park. We met this guy on our way to dinner:

And we went to Third Beach:

Ahhhh, Vancouver. So pretty! Also, I should mention that it was a breezy 85 or 90 degrees. We were freezing, of course, since we’re now adjusted to Austin’s 115 degree summer days!
