Once we had finished at Capilano we headed for a quick refreshment stop at Starbucks. Hot chocolates and giant chocolate chop cookies were in order. We had been contemplating going up to the top of Grouse Mountain but on further reflection decided to travel back into Vancouver and go to the BC Sports Hall of Fame at BC Stadium. The Winklers had been there and appeared to have had a lot of fun.
The Hall of Fame contained a section dedicated to the Olympics which had so many items of Olympic memorabilia including clothing, torches, medals, mascots etc. It also had exhibits and displays commemorating the efforts of many athletes including those who had achieved incredible feats against the odds such as Terry Fox and Rick Hansen. There are also sections where you can get involved with hands on exhibits. We all had a lot of fun trying soccer, hockey shooting, wheel chair racing, down hill skiing and bob sledding simulations. Connor fell in love with the foosball style ice hockey game. We found it near impossible to drag him away. So much so we left the boys at the Hall of Fame with their grandparents and Maggie while David drove me across town so I could meet with representatives from the Leukaemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. We arranged to meet back at the hotel with plenty of time to get ready for our night time adventure to the NHL.
