(Sophie) - Whistler is amazing! It has lots of different things to do and see. Its a village surrounded by tall mountains towering over us. Today we went up Whistler mountain on a gondola. These are boxes going up into the sky on large cables that look down over the trees. It took about twenty minutes to get to the top of the gondola. We had breakfast here next to a large stone statue called an Inukshuk, which is lots of rocks shaped into a human. These statues were supposed to guide the way home for the native hunters when they went out. It was beautiful sitting munching an apple and oatmeal muffin, looking at the mountains and being visited by the Clarks Nutcrackers birds and the chipmunks (they were so cute).

We then went up to the very top of Whistler mountain on a chair lift - which is just a seat for 4 people with a bar coming over you, like on a roller coaster. That was pretty scary - I thought I was going to fall off. It was like a hat graveyard beneath us as everyone seemed to have dropped their hats! We held on tight to ours. At the top we could see areas of snow yet I felt very warm. I didn't even need to wear a jumper.

Afterwards we went back down the chair lift and took the Peak to Peak gondola over the creek to the next mountain called Blackcomb mountain. Then we went on an Alpine hike over rocks and through the trees. On the way we made Inukshuk's. It was an epic walk with beautiful views. We all got very dirty shoes, ankles and legs!

When we got back down to into Whistler we wandered around and got to go on a water "hamster wheel" ball. Belle and I crawled into a big plastic tube which was on water and we rolled around pretending to be hamsters. We even rolled right into daddy who was sitting by the edge.

I really love Whistler. I will be sad to leave.

(Belle) - Whistler is Epic. As well as zip trekking and going up the mountain we found a playground with a tree house in the middle and a slide that had rollers instead of the usual metal which made it bumpy and fast.

We also found a great ice cream shop called Cows, where the ice creams have funny names. Daddy and Sophie had Mooey Gooey, Mummy had Moo York Cheesecake and I had Cookie dough in a colourful, sprinkly, chocolately cone.

We went into sweet shop called the Great Glass Elevator Candy store. They had lots of different sweets that I hadn't seen before. I really wanted a giant gummy bear on a lolly stick but it was way too expensive. We both had a bag of pic and mix so we could try lots of new things. My favourites were the chewy stars and candy dummies.

In the village there is a water sprinkler that sprays mist and anyone can walk through it. We went in after we came down from the mountain as we were very hot and dusty and me and Sophie got absolutely soaked.

Another good thing about Whistler is that all the restaurants serve chocolate milk for the children. Mmmm! Today we went to a restaurant and we got given mini plastic animals with our drinks. I have a blue donkey and Sophie had a camel, then we found two more animals on another table.

Up the mountain Daddy bought me a black teddy bear with a purple hoodie, and Sophie has one with a black hoodie. I named mine Mr Bob Mountain. Sophie named hers Blackcomb which is the same as the mountain.
