That looks like my Favorite Baby Sister, Michele, leading my Favorite Nephew, Theo, and his twin sister, my Favorite Niece, Ruby, across what looks like the Lucy Park Suspension Bridge in Wichita Falls, Texas.
Well, that may be what it may look like, but, in reality, this suspension bridge is not in Texas. It is not even in the United States.
This suspension bridge is in a country called Canada, north of the United States mainland, in a town called Vancouver.
The suspension bridge Theo & Ruby are on is known as the Capilano Suspension Bridge.
Ruby & Theo took their parental units to Vancouver over Christmas, with the highlight being experiencing Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, which is much more than just the suspension bridge. Click the link in the previous paragraph and you'll see much more than the suspension bridge.
Four emails from Michele arrived overnight, with multiple photos of Christmas in Vancouver.
Michele indicated crossing the Capilano Suspension Bridge was scary.
I find crossing the Lucy Park Suspension Bridge to be a bit scary, and it is only a few feet above the Wichita River. But, the way the bridge sways when walking across, or standing still to take a photo, well, it has made me dizzy a time or two.
The Lucy Park Suspension Bridge recently added signage warning those crossing the bridge to do so with caution. I suspect the Capilano Suspension Bridge does not have this type signage.
When I was a resident of Washington, I frequently enjoyed driving the few miles north, to Vancouver. I have not done so this century. My last time to Vancouver was shortly before the move to Texas. My Favorite Nephew Jason took me to Canada to ride the Sky Train from its southern most terminal to downtown Vancouver, floating the Sea Bus to North Vancouver, and then reversing to our starting point.
Finding my way around Vancouver used to be easy. It has now been so long since I have done so I suspect I would easily get lost...
