Butterflies and Belugas

The gang minus Lyanna the photographer

We went to the aquarium again to check out a couple of special exhibits. They had a special birds of prey exhibit and lots of butterflies in the Amazon section.

 

Beautiful Bird but Not One to Mess With

Lots of little fingers have touched those magnifying glasses. They can hardly see

A Stay with Grandma Tutu and Grandpa Dave

The girls spent a week with Grandma Tutu and Grandpa Dave in the Okanagan. They went to the beach and to an agro-tourist place in Vernon. The girls enjoy their time visiting with them. I am sure Grandma Tutu and Grandpa Dave needed a rest after they left. I picked them up and spent a couple days there too when my classes were done. We also went on the Summerland train and the girls enjoyed the scavenger hunt on their ride. The only they didn't see on the list was a bear. That's fine with me.

Timothy Lake Adventure

Todd and the girls went camping the first weekend of summer to Timothy Lake just past 100 Mile House. I was starting my summer graduate studies so was unable to go. They had a good time quadding, fishing and spending time with nature and friends. On their way to getting dropped off at Grandma Tutu's and Grandpa Dave's for the week, they popped into visit Todd's brother and his family in Kamloops. They also stopped to do a little horseback riding.

Todd's Big 4-0 Surprise Party

Todd came home from work and got a nice surprise. He knew there was going to be a party but he thought it was going to be people from my work. He suspected something might be planned but didn't think it was going to happen that day. He was so pleased with all the people who took the time to come out and celebrate this milestone in his life. Happy 40th Todd! Thanks Audrey for all the pictures as my camera has not been fixed as you can tell from the first few.

I shot off a bear banger when he blew out the candles. It made a really nice bang. That bear banger was loud!

The kids were in there like piranhas, wanting a slice of cake
