FAMILIAR SCENERY LAST DAY


Even though we took a new route
we hooked up to the ol' road
near Moses Lake Washington

We even got to sleep in as we
only had a 6 hour trip to our destination
That was a treat!!!



A look out the hotel window
Golfers out
School buses going by
Guess it was time to hit the road



I tried to grab my camera before
one of the pets moved
Didn't make it

THEY WERE ALL
SITTING SIDE BY SIDE



Let's get the show on the road



Breakfast time




Bet these guys wish they were
on the open range






These fellows were having a fine time
They were at Soap Lake



Chief Joseph Dam



Funny how you remember
what is ahead
I knew these cows would be waiting for us
to drive by
I see them each spring



Welcome to British Columbia
Now that was a pretty sight!

O CANADA
OUR HOME AND NATIVE LAND



Now there's an oldie if I ever saw one



An orchard is burning brush
You can only 'burn' on certain days
in the Okanogan



Our son works in Oliver at
Mission Hill Winery
This is also the home of
Kathryn
'Queen of the
Red Hat Ladies'
Canyon Vistas Resort
Gold Canyon Arizona



A new Tim Horton's just opened
in Oliver
Good timing
We picked up lunch there
A plain toasted cinnamon bagle
and
two chicken wraps
YUMMY



Speaking of yummy
I thought this was an interesting
name for a pizza place



Beautiful statues



Coming into Penticton



We're just about there


Up the drive we go
We made it!!!!!



Ol' Leroy sitting in his favourite chair
He is 13 years old



Here's Hunter
He just had his first birthday



Ah
The Blarney Stone
made by the little boy
at Day Care



Ah
The young boy's new hockey helmet
What a great colour



It was raining this morning
It turned into this
*****


Big white flakes of this stuff



The young boy is getting so tall
He is already up to my shoulders
and
is only eight



The little boy is full of life

We are delighted
to be here
