Couldn't resist a picture with Aslan the Great. At least that's what we chose to call him.
Robson Square, along with many other venues, offered free, family -fun activities throughout the Olympics. We just missed the noon ice-skating session and opted to not wait for the following one. Once we saw all those Canadian toddlers skating we knew we'd made the right choice. It's in their blood. We also decided to skip the free zip line that was running directly over the heads of the people in this shot. Too cool. But by this time, the boys and their little legs were quite tired. Instead, we headed over to the Olympic Superstore to wait in line for 40 minutes. Hey, souveniers are souveniers.
We didn't see any famous athletes but did have a friendly conversation with a Norwegian coach, who stood an imposing 6'10". Alas, no mittens to be had, but we had a great time and were glad we decided to make the trek, which, was made extremely easy by the friendly Canadians.
