Turners visit Fort Langley

Well, not quite. But a couple of weekends ago we hired a car and drove out to Fort Langley. We weren't sure what to expect but it was a nice drive and we discovered a lovely little village-like town that reminded us of the Dandenongs/Sassafrass. It was great!

Earlier that day we actually went to Canadian Tire and bought el cheapo bikes so we thought we'd be able to find somewhere to ride but we didn't really. How sad.

So we just walked around to the Fort and decided we will try to take Lach's parents here when they come over to visit. There are heaps of antique stores and stuff like that, we think they'll like it!

Here's a pic of the community centre, it's a cheery yellow and looks really cool in real life!













It was a great day and good to get out and about. The car plan is on hold due to BC bureaucracy, so we will hire cars for now. We found a place around the corner that is pretty cheap for day trips.

Lately we've also made our own chinese pork dumplings.




























They were the best we've eaten in Vancouver (sad right?!) BUT...Lach has been walking/running the Grouse Grind (basically stairs carved into the side of the mountain) every Monday and everyone goes out for dinner afterwards. Well !! I joined them last Monday and we ended up going to this great, Shanghai Dumpling House-esque little place and had delicious dumplings! Finally!!!! So at least if we can't be bothered making our own we know where to go now! :-D

We also got an electric scooter from a friend - it's SOOOOO awesome! Yesterday we went for a little ride and picnic. Lach on his el cheapo bike, me on the scooter. It was fun, if not a little scarey going downhill with only a front brake working. haha. Will have to remember to take a picture soon to show you all our ride ;-)
