Kids and Grandkids – Saturday in Armstrong, BC

Kids and Grandkids – Saturday in Armstrong, BC

Saturday Family Night - Armstrong BC

Yvonne’s son, Paul, his wife Kelsey and their children drove down for the afternoon evening.  With their cousins here, it made for a great evening.  Wonderful children - lots of hugs. Pia got her hair cut by Yvonne.  I don’t know who enjoyed the process more.  Great chats I had with Kelsey.  I’d forgotten how my I liked these folks.  Was a real treat seeing them. 

What sweet kids. 

Most of these particular photos are with my iPhone.  Amazing camera in this beast.  I bought it largely for the camera and I’m not disappointed.  The photo of Paul intently listening to someone was not a close up.  It was part of another photo but the detail and balanced light is wonderful.  I haven’t even really explored what this thing can do. 

Yvonne was so happy hanging with her grandkids.

Thomas Hayes Trail - Armstrong

Having an amazing time in Armstrong.  Always amazing when we get to go hiking/walking in the woods. Yesterday and today.  Spent the weekend with Marianne (Yvonne’s sister), Marianne’s son Shayne, and his wife Shannon, Shayne’s daughter Cassidy, and Marianne’s other son Evan.   And the puppy Maya.  You can see the bunch of us hiking about in Armstrong on Saturday.  Started of kinda cool but by the time we were half way through the hike pretty much all coats were wrapped around hips.  I was very happy I’d worn shorts

You can see the bunch of us over my bald head on one of the photos.   And a couple through the trees of Yvonne.  I caught a few of her with my long lens coming through the trees.  I could look at her all day.

BX Falls Vernon

Today Marianne took us a little way into the hills east of Vernon.  Was a rainy today so felt like we were in the rainforest in the Vancouver area.  Lots of steps to get to the bottom of the waterfall.  Rainy day. 

Marianne drove us up to Silver Star (mountain Ski place above Vernon) to see the view but the fog had set in by the time we got there so couldn’t see a thing. Next time.
