Summer in North America 2018 Part 13 - Lemonade, Food, and Ladner Boat Launch

On our third morning in BC, my sister had booked a photo session for Miss Kiki and her cousin at a local photographer's studio. She chose the Lemonade theme and the pictures turned out really well! Here are the chosen pictures...









After the quick photo session, they came back home and we all went to have brunch at Bubble Waffle Cafe. They have noodle soups and dumplings in their menu, and with meal purchase you are allowed to order a bubble waffle (kaitancai) for only CAD 1.00!

After our meal we walked over to Save of Foods, the same chain supermarket as the one in Winnipeg that was very impressive. Although now in BC it doesn't look as impressive anymore... Lol!



We all went home afterwards and I spent the afternoon at Tsawwassen Mills Outlet Mall with Miss Kiki. That was one of the rare times she had fun shopping, she even exclaimed that she didn't know shopping could be that much fun! :D





Meanwhile, my sister stayed at home to make us dinner. We had prime rib that she cooked herself. Now that's a rare occasion! I came home to an almost ready dinner and it was yummy!








We finished dinner at around 8:30 pm and Miss Kiki asked me to take her to a wildlife reserve area nearby. She got excited from hearing the word 'wildlife' and wanted to see for herself. I wasn't keen on going myself but I thought it would be a good experience for her. So we went... only to find that the area was already closed for the evening. We stepped a little inside and walked right back out. Of course, Miss Kiki was disappointed but instead, we walked over to Ladner Boat Launch right beside it and took sunset pictures instead. It was a beautiful sunset! I also let Miss Kiki take over the Olympus for a bit for practice. After sunset we went back home and stayed in for the rest of the night.












The next day was our first weekend in BC (this trip)! My brother-in-law is off work and we all went out for dimsum at Tin Tin Seafood Harbour. The deal there was: if you pay your bill before 11 am, you get 20% off your total bill! That day, my sister made reservations for 10:30 am but we left the house late. In the end, we didn't get the discount but the food was worth it anyway!
