Mothers day, Sunday. What an amazing day.
After we had breakfast, Bob tells us he has decided what we are going to do for the day,  go up the mountain.  This is a great idea. So we make  our way to where the gondolas are.  Tom mentioned yesterday that he would love to snow board on the mountain. As you can predict, Bob tells Tom that he will shout him the hire and ticket to do this.   Tom is very excited by this,  and goes to the hire shop to suit up, then on we go to the gonola. At this point,  I start to freak out a little. It's really really high at the top of the mountain and I am not good with heights. But I must do this,  how could I not go up whistler mountain. We board up, and start our journey up. It is so quiet, and I have been on one of these things before,  in Vietnam. It's amazing seeing the snow on the ground, and the tall pine trees. Up at the top, we unload from the ride, and take in the views. They are absolutely incredible. Mountains all the way around,  with snow on top.  It's not as cold as I imagined it to be, and I am made to go and touch the snow, ( I even made a tiny snow ball ). Bob and I are the odd ones out.  Both wearing our Akubras and me in my Ariats. We are definitely not skiing. People are wearing snow boots or snow boarding boots,  all rugged up. Tom goes of to have a few hours of fun. We go inside and seek out the viewing deck. Wow, wow wow. Amazing, overwhelming. I am in awe, and blown away by where I am at this very moment. Bob and I spend time here having a bite to eat and wait for Tom.
We go back down the mountain, I do some washing and rest for the afternoon.
