April and May have been the months of visits from John's family. First his mother came and two weeks later his brother arrived. Kevin flew into Seattle and together with John, decided to book end the trip with visits to their dad.  However, there was plenty of stuff to do between visiting their dad. One of the things we did was to visit Vancouver.  Kevin had never been there and just happened to bring his passport.  Our second stop in Vancouver was to the Blodel Plant Conservatory and Aviary.  When we arrived, they were filming a music video. The dancing was amazing and it was fun to watch.  I could have stayed longer but we headed inside.  The minute we walked in everything steamed up.  The plants and birds were mostly tropical although the mouse that was eating the bird food definitely was native to the area.  I felt like I was on a scavenger hunt looking at the various birds that were either flying from branch to branch or weaving through the foliage on the ground.  After leaving the conservatory we wandered the grounds admiring the trees and flower in bloom.  Finally hungry we went in search of good food and then home.
