HUNTING AND 2 HAPPY KIDS

Regan got a deer tag and invited the whole family to come along. The littles were the only ones that jumped at the offer.

The rest of us slept in

all in all

everyone

was happy

well,

Regan would have been happier if he would have bagged a dear.

No luck

sorry sweetness

FRIGHTMARES

AUBREY'S

HOMECOMING

DANCE

There are lots and lots of bitter-sweet feelings

going on lately with Aubrey getting older.

I can't stop time or rewind the clock.

She is almost 18 and she is a Senior.

I thought that it would take forever to get to this place

but no

we are here

and it happened so fast

and there is nothing to do but

make the best of it

and be happy for her

and wonder if we have taught her enough......

we haven't,

does any parent????

It is hard to let go

but we must begin to let go.

She will graduate and move away

(she can't wait)

I guess she is no different than I was.

I will be happy for her

but sad for me.

Thank goodness

we still have some more time

before she leaves

I will try hard not to wish for time to slow down

but to relish the time

we have left

and enjoy

right now

with her.

Because that is all we have......

right now

Aubrey and J'son

SHS

20 year reunion

RED DEVIL PRIDE

We had such a good time attending the

assembly

tail gate party

football game

night parade

dinner at the Zermatt.

we didn't want the night to end

How did we get this old?

See you at the 30 year!

A walk on a lovely fall day........

and learning very important things like how to tell

your left hand from your right.

the one that makes the L is the left.

confusing at times for all of us....right?

Oh

CAN-A-DA

Our next stop was Victoria British Columbia.

As we got off the ship we were welcomed by greeters in old Victorian clothing.

Butchart Gardens

are over one hundred years old and occupy over 55 acres of land.

Having a bit of fun, eh!

The Japanese Garden was our favorite part.

Oh......presh

In downtown Victoria we came across the fiddling Darth Vader. Super cool and well worth tossing him a buck or two.

Caleb happened to be wearing his "Empire Strikes back" shirt,

Darth Vader was quite impressed.

Here is another interesting Canadian,

"Plaster Man".

If you put a little change in his bucket he would change positions, scaring the unsuspecting passerbyers.

Very Cool

getting a tight squeeze from the master of plaster.

We went into the Parliament building and sat in on a session.

It got quite heated between the two parties, too bad we didn't know what the issue was but it was still fun to see the same rhetoric goes on up north.

Vancouver.......
Our final destination



Stanley park had totem poles which were presented from many of
the different Indian tribes of the area.
This park was awesome, right in downtown Vancouver,
it has over 30 miles of walking trails.




Behind Mena is one of the wealthy areas of Vancouver,
we were told Oprah owns a home over on the hill.
Good for Oprah.






If you are ever in the area,
stop in at Tony's and get the fish and chips,
don't forget the clam chowder,
best chowda we have ever eatin'




After this we headed for the airport happy but exhausted from a fun filled vacation.
Thanks again Mom and Dad.
Happy 50th anniversary!!!!!
