We went up to Whistler for a few days on our week off and stayed at my ex-bosses cabin (thanks Jack!). It was hot and sunny on one of the days and then raining super hard the next day. Jasmine thoroughly enjoyed her time there; watch her explore her own shadow in the parking lot and in the courtyard:

Bucket Head (video)
How can Jasmine see where she is walking to? I'm amazed she doesn't bump into anything.

Lifting Shopping Cart (video)
In this video, Jasmine shows her strong muscles, lifting her shopping cart into the air, meanwhile showing her wonderful balance wearing super large slippers. I love how she knows that she can't climb onto the couch (where I am filming) if she has her slippers on so she takes them off first.

What is that under my foot? (video)
This video was taken in April 2009 as well. Jasmine noticed she stepped on something and tried to pull it out. What the heck is this white stuff?

Learning Directions (video)
I finally had some time to convert some video clips that were taken earlier in the year. I'll be loading them up over the next couple of days. Here's one of Jasmine in April this year, learning how to turn left and right on her butt:

Holiday - Van Dusen Gardens
Richard and I took a week off for vacation and decided to tour our own city. Today we visited the Van Dusen Gardens for the first time. I never knew how large this garden was until today. We spent a good 2 hours there and only walked about half of the garden.
A couple of mentionable details while at this garden:
1) there were a lot of squirrels in the park and Jasmine saw a squirrel jump by, pick up an acorn and put it into its mouth. Then Jasmine went and picked up an acorn on the ground, said "apple" and then proceeded to put the acorn in her mouth. Luckily I saw it as it happened and pulled the acorn away right away.
2) on one of the paved walkways, it was really sloped. The gardeners had left the hose on so the water from the hose was running down the walkway. Jasmine loves water. She realized that if she jumped and stomped in the puddle, the water splashes everywhere! Richard and I walked away, leaving Jasmine stomping in the water...trying to see how long before she notices that we left. We hid behind a bush watching her. We waited and waited and waited.
Ok, after 7 minutes, WE realized that Jasmine is not going to move out of there on her own so we had to literally pick her up and carry her out of there (meanwhile she was kicking and screaming). Her entire pants and socks and shoes were soaked.
It was a fun day regardless.
