Chapter 4: Fun and helping older people.

After all the work people left, the boys were getting bored. So, Dean and Taylor volunteered to take JJ and Jake to Toys R Us. Taylor had told him it was a bad idea but, Dean wouldn't listen. The boys were very excited, that was their favourite store.

The fun started from the moment they all got to the store. JJ and Jake ran across the parking lot, Taylor was right behind them but, couldn't catch them until Dean yelled for them to stop. Just in time as a car was speeding through the parking lot. After some choice words from Dean, to the driver they walked in to the store.

The first place the boys went was to the ball section. Taylor got them each a ball and JJ bounced it down the isles.

Jake ran down the isles straight to the boy toys. He loved lego and Uncle Dean said they could get two things.

As Jake was running from aisle to aisle he ran right into an older gentleman.

"I'm sorry." Jake said. "I didn't mean to run into you."

"Hello." the older man said. At first he was mad but, that changed when the little boy apologized. "That is okay. I bet you were excited to get some new toys."

"Yup, I was." Jake said shyly. "I shouldn't have ran. Mommy always says No Running in stores. That's for outside."

"I was just wondering if you could help me find something for my grandson." The older man said smiling." You are two right? My grandson is just a little bit older than you."

"Yup I am" Jake said nodding his head. "But, my mommy said not to talk to strangers."

Just as Jake was going to walk away Dean came around the corner. He heard all the older gentleman had said.

"Jake it's okay, I am here you can help him if you want?" Dean said with a smile.

"I am so sorry, I should have known that I shouldn't have asked you. I am a stranger after all." The older gentleman said sadly looking at Dean. Then turned to Jake. "My name is Abraham. You can call me Abe."

Jake looked at Dean and Dean nodded his head, telling him it was okay to tell him his name.

"My name is Jake." he said. "This is my Uncle Dean, he is a wrestler. I can help you find something."

"It is nice to meet you Jake and Uncle Dean." Abraham said with a smile and shook Dean's hand. "I used to watch wrestling when The Wild Samoans wrestled. I only watch it now with my Son and Grand kids."

"That's my Papa." Jake said excitedly. "My daddy is Roman Reigns. My Uncle Dean, he wrestles to."

Abraham explained to Dean that his grandsons birthday was coming up but, he didn't know what to get him. Jake had suggested Lego or some wrestling figures.

Dean and Jake walked around the store with him and Dean paid for a wrestling ring and two wrestlers for Abe's Grandson.

Dean signed his character and got Abe's address so, Dean could send him tickets when they were in town, in a month. The older man thanked them and bought Jake a Lego set for helping him.

"Jake, that was a great thing you did for that man." Dean said with a smile picking him up.

"Uncle Dean his name was Abraham. I mean Abe." Jake said then smiled. "He was really nice. I hope Mommy isn't mad at me for talking to him."

"I think Mommy, would be proud of you for helping him. I was there so, she won't be mad" Dean said being serious. "You do know all people are not nice, right?"

"Yup, Mommy said we can only talk with people, when Mommy or Daddy is around." Jake said. "He was really nice. I'm glad you were there cause he really, really needed help. He was going to buy Uncle Seth's figure, Mommy doesn't like that figure."

Dean nodded his head and smiled, He couldn't wait to tell Seth about this.

He messed Jake's hair up and put him down. Then they went and found JJ and Taylor and paid for their toys and left the store.

After buckling them up Dean took them to Murchie's for Ice cream. It was early and Dean knew Machelle and Sherri wanted to visit with their friends and family some more.

They had so much energy after the Ice cream, Dean asked Taylor to look up a place where they could get some energy out.

Taylor found a place where they had trampolines and games. So, that is where they went.

When they got inside the boys were so excited. There was at least twenty trampolines all in a row with foam pits all around. There were mats on the wall that when you put on a special Velcro vest, you could stick to the wall.

Dean told Taylor he would look after the boys, if she wanted to go and play but, Taylor wanted to help him.

All Jake wanted to do was jump in the foam pit. Dean played the shark and tried to get him. Jake, would go up the ladder to get out of the pit and then try and escape the shark.

JJ and Taylor jumped on the trampolines up above them. Then JJ jumped on Uncle Dean, when Jake would yell 'Help JJ' to him. Then Dean would try and get him pretending to eat him.

The whole place was full of laughter from the boys.

Some of the kids recognized Dean and they all wanted autographs but, they kept their distance. They knew he was with three people. Dean was glad to give them his autograph when he was finished and they all had fun at the same time.

It was almost six o'clock, when they left the trampoline place.

Dean called Roman and asked what they were going to do for dinner. Roman asked everyone and they decided to go down to the beach for fish and chips.

They found a restaurant on the beach and went in and were seated right away.

Jake told Machelle and Roman what they did and showed them the Lego set Abe had bought him. He also made sure he told them that Dean was with him and he said it was okay to talk with him. Machelle said she wasn't mad at him. Jake was really worried about that.

Leyla had to leave the next day to go on another flight. She said she was going to chat with her mom and husband and would call them after she did.

After dinner, they all gave hugs to family and got in their car and left to go back to the hotel.

The next morning they met Lisa Brittany and Connie for breakfast at I H OP. Charlie had to work that morning so, he dropped Leyla off at the airport, and Brittany got on the sky train to go to work.

The boys had pancakes and Roman helped them cut them up. They all laughed, saying those were Machelle's kids they loved pancakes.

After breakfast they made their way down to the pier.

There was a huge rock in the middle of the beach and JJ asked Machelle why.

"It has a story of what happened at the museum just down the way." Lisa Said. "Come on, we can go see if they are open."

They walked down to the museum but, it was closed for the season. There was a story board on the outside of the building. Roman read the sign to JJ and Jake.

The sign read:

Standing more than four metres high and weighing a reported 486 tonnes, the famous white rock is actually a large granite boulder.

How did it get here? According to a Semiahmoo First Nations legend, a young sea god hurled it into the sea when he fell in love with a Cowichan princess but was forbidden to marry her. He declared they would make their new home, and start their own tribe, wherever the boulder landed.

Geologists call the rock as a "glacial erratic", meaning it was carried here from the Coast Mountains during the last ice age. When the ice melted, the rock was left on the beach.

Although naturally light in colour, the rock now receives an annual coat of paint courtesy of the City of White Rock.

The boys thought it was a really cool story and wanted to go touch it. They walked down the stairs by the pier and JJ ran to it. Dean took a picture of the boys with it and showed them.

"We are really small compared to the rock." JJ said looking at Uncle Dean.

"That you are." Dean said "Let's see if daddy is taller than the rock."

They all took a picture at the big rock and then made there way up to the pier and walked to the end.

"What are those Auntie Sherri?" Jake asked pointing to the purple things in the water.

"Those are star fish." Sherri told him. "They are here all year round stuck to the rocks."

The boys wanted to touch them but, Roman said they couldn't cause there was no way to get to them. So, they took a picture and said that they would show Papa when they got home.

They walked down the street looking in shops. They found some nice souvenirs for their friends and for Sika and Patty. Then they made their way back to the cars and back to to the hotel. JJ had actually fallen asleep in the car and Jake was almost asleep.

They only had one more day in Vancouver and Machelle wanted the boys to see China town. Tony had invited them all to go but, Lisa and Connie were busy that day.

Sherri wanted to take the boys on the sky train so, Lisa dropped them all off at the bus depot by their apartment. The bus driver was very nice and told them how to get to Chinatown. He also told them they had a Zen Garden that was to die for and they should defiantly go and see it

When they got off the bus they saw the arches that told them they had just started their china town tour. Machelle called Tony from the sky train, he said he would be there to meet them at the entrance.

They went into shops and got some souvenirs. The boys got some toy dragons that wiggled from side to side. Jake went to the back of one store and found a room that had a puppet show on. The Chinese shop keeper told him it was okay if he wanted to watch. So, while Machelle and Sherri looked around Roman and Dean watched the puppet show with the boys and Taylor.

When the show was over the boys clapped and the puppeteers came out and let the boys see the puppets.

Machelle bought a jade Buddha, that she thought Patty would like. She also bought a small pagoda for Sika for his garden.

Then they made their way to the Chinese garden. It was beautiful.

There was a Chinese gentleman that told them a little about the garden. He told them it was the first garden of its kind ever built outside of China, it had ornate landscape of jade-coloured ponds, stone pathways and traditional gardens and halls that were built in 1986 by 52 Chinese craftsmen. Nearly all of the materials, were brought over from China. From rare hardwoods to the special weathered limestone used in the ponds. The garden was used for cultural and musical events, as well as seasonal celebrations.

JJ and Jake loved the Koi fish in the ponds. In one of the ponds they had some rare Chinese kissing fish. Tony took Jake's hand and put it in the water and a bunch of fish swam up and kissed his fingers.

Jake was scared at first but, then started laughing when they started kissing his fingers. Then JJ did the same.

They sat down at a table and had some dim sum for lunch.

Tony showed them around some more stores and then he had to leave. They all said their good byes and Tony told them how to get back to the sky train.

Both the boys fell asleep on the sky train. Roman and Dean carried them to the hotel. Got them changed into PJ's and put them to bed.

Machelle and Sherri packed up all their things and got ready for the trip home.
