Had an awesome time at the 38th Annual Pacific Rim Kite Festival in Vanier Park, Kitsilano in Vancouver BC today. Next year you should make a plan to go. Always alot of fun for everyone of all ages.
 
The Teddy Bear Drop is alway HUGE FUN!! They put the Teddy Bear way up high on a Big Kite and then let him or her go...s/he is wearing a parachute and a child is waiting below. The kids run and catch the bear and get to keep it.

It's all graciously donated by the BC Kitefliers Assocation. You can visit their website here.  http://bcka.bc.ca/38th-annual-pacific-rim-kite-festival/

  Here's a video I made this year.


and 2012 the 37th Pacific Rim Kite Festival



 Here's 2011 The 36th Pacific Rim Kite Festival






Videos from a few years back when Penny was there, this is before I knew how to use Moviemaker, so they are not long. I need to go thru my storage to find them and make them into there own little video.

Pirates & Tallships in #thisismyvancouver


Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com


"Captain Sean" wrote this on the Stamps Landing Yacht Club, and I'll let him have the honor of describing it as he does it so well.  

Last weekend two tall ships, the Lady Washington (of Pirates of the Caribbean fame) and the Hawaiian Chieftain, visited Vancouver, mooring at the Maritime Museum. On Saturday and Sunday they sailed around English Bay firing cannons at each other for the afternoon, very fun to watch!
Hana was out there on Sunday, with Annie and my friends Tina and Angel for crew. Drift Away and Angelina also joined in on the fun, and Pallas Athena passed by as well. Tina put together a terrific collage of photos and video, complete with some Down East folk music playing in the background. Great job on the video, Tina!

Great Time at the Kits Kite Festival


Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

Once again we had a fabulous time at the Kitsilano Kite Festival at Vanier Park. When we arrived we donated and got a balloon and asked about the Teddy Bear Drop but that tent didn't really know anything
about it.

When we did asked about their bears, they were $20 for a worthy cause, but we couldn't afford that right now.

We looked for Penny - the lady that does the Really Fun Skits with the Kids but she wasn't there, Angel was really disappointed and so was I but I fixed it by going back to the first tent and we got a Grab Bag for $2, that was a really good deal and brightened everything up.

Then as we were leaving, we walked past a girl that had just caught a bear, and Angel calls "Nice Bear!" and the girl then explained it's free and we just have to get a tix and wait in line. Yayyyyyyyyy! So we did and Angel got her little bear and she was thrilled.

It was a really GREAT day!!

**Note :Whoops, just realized I need to change the title on this, it was longer original and it was just for myself, then I edited and forgot to change the title. Angel did loose her tooth that day and we went to hip hop and it was all round a really great day that's why I had it all on one. I'll change the title later, enjoy for today! Cheers!

36th Annual Kite Festival- Vanier Point-Kitsilano


Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com 

This year I didn't forget!! The Kite Festival would always sneak up on me, my mom would say it's on, she saw it on the news, or the neighbour would mention it, she could see it from her window...last year we were on a friend's boat sailing by when "Oh no....we are missing the kite festival!"

Luckily we made it back in time to go but this year I remembered and googled it and here it is! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! The Kite Festival. This is the 36th Annual Pacific Rim Kite Festival.

We love the Kite Festival. We have so much fun! I highly recommend it.
