Hockey in Kamloops

Sunday morning we were up

and about early

getting ready for our
day trip

to Kamloops

Not too sure about the weather

so

the driver has decided to take the low road

which is also the long road

The young boy is playing spring hockey

He is on a Double A team called

The Okanagan All Stars
The team is made up of
boys from
Kelowna
Penticton
and
Vernon

I'm going to take a step

backward

and

go back four days

for one photo

The young boy was in Kelowna on Thursday for a practice

Wanted you to see the bridge

Here is the 'new' bridge going from

 West Bank to Kelowna

It doesn't look like it but it is a

floating bridge

Recently Joe and I watched

a documentary

on how the bridge was built

Coming into Vernon we are greeted

by this ol' boat

Many of the towns have interesting paintings

on the sides of buildings

I took this photo for my friend

Coleen

who grew up in

Java South Dakota

This is for my friend

Casey

who was born in Holland

A church tucked into the hill side

The Thompson river was just about dry

people were walking on the river bottom

The Canadian Pacific is still

going strong

The Powder Keg

I did not see what it was

all about

We've arrived at the arena

The team is doing the stretching thing

What's this!!!!!!!!!!!

A lady driving the zamboni

Here come the boys

Normally the young boy plays centre

however

on the All Star team

he is playing defense

He did a good job!

Another game

Another arena

Another lady zamboni driver

Wow

I am impressed

The boys lost both games

BUT

They played hard

and

never gave up

against the AAA team

This is what greeted us when we came out of the arena

We took the Connector home

It was the fastest way home

Anyone driving this highway

has to go over the mountain

Can be a 'nail biting' drive

Even though the sky looks un-inviting

we sailed through

arriving home around 8:30 p.m.

A good trip
