buses, trains, and water-buses (repeat)

No trip to visit Popo and Grampa would be complete without a jaunt into Vancouver via bus and train. And then, for good measure, another short bus ride, and a water-bus ride across False Creek. My boy gets spoiled.  :)  In between, we visited a kids marketplace on Granville Island, filled with toy shops and children's clothing, poked our heads around some clothing and pottery shops, chased pigeons, and had lunch in the market. Fried fish =  yum.  We also happened upon a very old steam engine, from 1887, an outpost of the Canada Heritage Railway museum, and climbed aboard to ring the bell.

 

Roaring like a lion at the pigeons

In the toy store, Grandpa tried to interest Liesl in various stuffed animals and dogs, but she kept returning to this one dog, a pink-jacketed chihuahua.  She could not be dissuaded, and Bompy is a softie, and so he bought it for her. We've named it Lucky, and it's lucky indeed.
