The rain came back overnight with a vengeance and we knew that whatever we did today would require rain gear. We all slept in again and as a result we decided to forgo the workout this morning. That, combined with the rain, seemed to make us move in slow motion and regardless of our good intentions for an early start, we didn't leave the motorhome until after lunch.

Our first stop was at an Italian coffee shop on The Drive on our way to the LuluLemon Factory Outlet store where we wanted to see if we could find anything of interest. The coffee was delicious but the factory store didn't offer anything that appealed to us, so from there we ventured over to the Vancouver Flea Market . Rick and I had wanted to check it out since we arrived here in April, but it took Angie being here on a rainy day to get us there. The place is huge and has that smell you find in old places filled with all kinds of junk intermingled with a few good finds. It was a fun way to spend a couple of hours... poking around the dozens of stalls looking for something of value. Karley, Ian and Makai were coming to the motorhome at around 5:00 PM for a visit before we all headed out for dinner so we went home but not before each of us found a bargain at the flea market.

In only two days, it is so visible how fast Makai is growing as he has changed again. This time at dinner he too needed to be fed and then we all took turns keeping him occupied or comforted during our meal. We enjoyed a tasty meal, some good conversation and some baby cuddling and before long, the evening was over. Ian, Karley and Makai went home to their house while Angie, Rick and I went back to the motorhome to relax and watch a movie, a perfect ending to another perfect day.
