The abundance of activities.
All within walking distance.
So, maybe that distance is a few miles.
But with the scenery in Whistler you always wish it was a few more.
Our second day in Whistler, we decided to go on a fishing excursion.
Well, really, we decided to let Charlie fish.
The rest of us would watch and enjoy the scenery.
We started out early with yummy breakfast.
(Did I mention that there are some amazingly good restaurants in Whistler?)
Purchased a fishing license in the Village,
And headed out on our 5-or-so-mile hike to the Lake of the Lost.
More commonly known as Lost Lake.
It was a beautiful hike.
Part trail.
Part sidewalk.
Along a river.
Past a skateboard park.
And technical bike routes.
Through the woods.
By a golf course.
And finally we stepped out to the park and approached the lake.
Charlie was a little excited.
After all he was about to fish...
And he was probably ready to stop walking.
But maybe he was excited for the same reason I was.
It was, quite simply, beautiful.
Andy gave Charlie some casting lessons on the lawn.
Luckily we were nearly the first to arrive and there was plenty of room.
And then they found a fishing spot.
I was able to get a few pictures while I was chasing Ephram around.
I chased Ephram around for a couple of hours.
He was in heaven.
And he was being really cute.
After awhile Andy and Charlie decided to look for a new fishing spot.
We went off on the trail around the lake, to scout a location.
It was right about here that Andy and Charlie took off down a narrow steep path to a pier.
There they fished for another hour or so.
Ephram and I hiked back to the park.
Where we found another toddler running around on the grass.
He was in heaven.
And I laughed so much that my face actually hurt from all the smiling.
Eventually Andy and Charlie returned.
And we realized we were hungry.
So we headed back down the trail.
Back to the Village.
And found ourselves some food.
I could get lost in Whistler forever.
