A Hike in the Park

This is what the parks and trails are like near our home. A 10 minute drive North, and it's like we are inside an Emily Carr painting. It's a great way to get away from all the traffic and concrete and get some peace and quiet and an extra dose of oxygen! Recently we did a hike in Lynn Valley Canyon. Since Blogger is giving me grief right now, I can only load one photo. More photos later.

An American Wedding... Italian Style

The past 4 days were spent in sunny California at a family wedding, where Keane's younger brother Dave got married! It was a whirlwind trip that included a wine-tasting tour in the Sonoma Valley, a round of golf, a hike in the local marsh (where Angie spotted some lizards and Pelicans), barbeque and football game-watching, the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, what seemed like hundreds of adorable little kids (really there were only about 7 or 8 of them) racing around excitedly all the time everywhere, writing and delivering a best man speech, and of course the beautiful, elegant wedding ceremony and dinner at the Viansa Winery on Saturday evening. It was a fun-filled, action-packed weekend to say the least.

We would like to extend many thanks to Dave, Rochelle, and the Recotta family for hosting such an amazing 3 day party. A lot of time and effort went into it, and we were very honored to be included.

Yesterday, Angie flew home to Vancouver and Keane flew straight to Las Vegas for a business trip. Photos to come soon- as soon as Keane gets home with his camera!

Ok... a week later now - here are some photos:
