Getting To Be The Only "Kids" In Science World!

We’ve had an amazing week in Vancouver, despite it getting dark way to quick and it being a little frosty in the morning, we’ve been having a blast.  Friday was a good one – getting to be the only ‘kids’ in Science World, 400 adults got to playing with balls, boats and blocks even some beer goggles and some bean bags.  This place is truly a children’s wonderland, and when you put a bunch of adults in front of all the interactive learning games, the fun never ends!!  Throw a little challenge in and the laughs are endless too!  On Sunday we also took a thrill ride over our country on simulated ride located at Canada Place.  Another group of 30+ came out to enjoy the scenes from across our country and then we all spent a lazy afternoon mingling at a local joint nearby.  I can never get over the  awesome things we get to do day in and day out in this city, and it’s pretty cool sharing the experience with amazing people!! Events And Adventures Vancouver

Annual Whistler Ski Trip Is Back!

 Can't wait to hang out with over 40 of my E&A friends on the 18th Annual Events and Adventures Whistler Ski Trip. We will be leaving on Thanksgiving, but will get there in time for a wonderful Thanksgiving feast with our E&A family. We will be staying in the Village for easy access to Chairlifts and Gondolas for some AWESOME skiing during the day and all the nightlife at night! We let you know how it all turns out, but if it is anything like past years there will be much to talk about!

No Better Way To Spend A Saturday!

An absolutely awesome day of events we had on Saturday! To start a beautiful walk to Rice Lake in North Vancouver – a little cloudy but not too much rain.  We were given some background information on the great things that BC fisheries are doing to help increase interest in fishing and also how they are helping endangered species and preventing invasive species from our freshwater lakes and rivers!!  We were a little cold, but seeing a fish caught made everyone realize why we were there for!!  Nothing like being out in the elements with great friends and scenery.  Off to a nearby pub to warm up, and then a few of us were off to the next event.

Our beloved Canucks lost horribly to the Kings but this didn’t dampen spirits either.  Lots of ideas were collected and events for the upcoming season were discussed as we watched the game and had our monthly Member’s meeting!  We had great food and stayed passed the loss to continue building friendship and enjoy each other’s company. 

Awesome Saturday!

Board Games And Fun!

Imagine playing board games and getting loud and laughing so hard you can barely hear across the table!!  Every month we visit a local pub and have our own private space and do just that,  It's one thing to play board games like Pictionary and Cranium, and Apples to Apples with close friends, but with strangers?  Those new faces aren't strangers for too long.  There isn't a better way to meet and learn about someone new, than to be tangled with arms locked, trying to build a block tower.  It's not only fun to try it, but watching is a riot.  Last week at our Games Night, a group of members decided the questions for Cranium just weren't as fun and tried playing with just the interactive, acting and team questions.  So much fun!!   Come out to the next one if you can make it!

Never Have I Wanted To Sit Straighter And Walk Taller.....

Than I did as I was leaving our event last Thursday.  We went to a Flamenco show on Cambie Street...What talent those dancers had.  Surrounded by wooded panelling and mirrors, the pub could have easily been the same through the 80’s, but the show.....wow those girls could move their feet.  Accompanied by a Spanish guitar player only 2 women took the stage and sang along and hollered as they danced circles around the stage.  Such poise and form, and obviously a lot of years practicing, this truly amazing dance form.

It Was a Wicked Weekend!

What a wicked weekend we had starting with a fantastic meal and event in the Dark!!  That’s right the Dark!!  A restaurant concept that has taken off, The Dark employs wait staff that is seeing impaired and they lead you to your tables and serve you, all while sitting in total darkness.  The best part, although the food was delicious was the great conversation as you tried to figure out what you were eating.  Most of us ended up eating with our fingers, as trying to manage utensils and not knocking everything off your plate was a little difficult!!  

Then to top off the weekend we had our annual Halloween Party.  It always  amazes me to see the great bonds that are made in this club and new relationships beginning to blossom.  We had a terrific band rock the house and play music that had everyone singing and dancing the night away.  In between sets we had even more tunes and since we had our very own beer pong girls, it was only fitting that we played the song Solo Cup for them.  Great music, great food and of course the best of friends!!  It was an awesome night to party and celebrate Halloween in the Harbour!
