Our last campsite before heading to Drumheller

This kitty kept hanging around

We think she is a resident cat

Sharing a bit of Bing and Finnegan's food

Lunch time

I have seen this leaning barn many times on our way to Calgary

Sure enough it is still standing

All alone with a bit of grass and a tree

Scenery as we near Drumheller

Drumheller Museum

Ever faithful travelling companions

RV park just down the road from the Olympic site.....Calgary

Someone else likes yellow 

Home of 

EDGE

Hockey and many other sports are played here

A school for athletic students

Ethan's hockey team were playing at Edge over the weekend

We were lucky enough to catch the games on our way through to Penticton

Worked our way back to Edge from downtown Calgary

Took the back roads

You never know what you are going to see!

Ethan giving a hand to get the goalie's net set up

Question:  Ethan what is happening here?

Answer:  OH.....the guy was calling me 

'SQUEEKIE"

because of my high voice

REALLY??????

Sunday morning drive to Penticton

We were fortunate to see the Rocky Mountaineer

roll by

What a beautiful sight!!!!!

This guy started out to cross the highway then changed his mind

Trying to work our way back to Tim Horton's in the town of Sicamouse 

Again, you never know what you might come across

Pretty blue colour of RV

We have arrived

Dad tagged along with Graham Les and Dillon on a hunting expedition

He was the chief cook and bottle washer

Last of the few blooming flowers at Squamish

It's like a tradition

Each time we visit with Jennifer we make a trip up to Whistler to

Southside Diner

for breakfast

Have a little visit with Les and Nikki

Alwasy soooo good to see them!

Above the diner is a hostel

I can see a person looking out the window!

Front street entrance to the Fairmont Hotel

Jennifer and her crew have the gardens all bunkered down for winter

A tour of the rooftop

Checking out bee hotel

Some bee hives as well

A Mom her daughter and their dogs!!

What more could I ask for on a sunny fall day in Whistler BC

Jennifer is moving to Whistler the beginning of December

Her new place is at the Olympic Village

Oh Happy Day!!!!

While looking for 'something' Jennifer came across her sweater

 and hat that my friend Kathy had knitted for her when she was 3 years old

I always loved her sweater

Halloween eve

Tightrope Winery

Thank you for visiting

Thursday afternoon Graham and I went for a ride up the mountain

We were looking for great horned sheep and deer

A photo opportunity

We passed a few logging trucks

and

As you can see some of the land has been cleared

We came upon the Ellis Reservoir

This is the big wheel that controls the water flow down to Penticton

Down down it goes to the canal in Penticton

Shooting practice up in the mountain

Little squirrel with a big pine cone!

I want to say......

Ah shucks!

Are you looking at me?

Because

I am looking at you!

I noticed this horse on the way up and way down the mountain

Having a rest I guess??

Having a bite to eat!!

Yum Yum

OK OK

Back it up

OK OK

Too close for comfort

This is the guy we were looking for

Leader of the pack

Check out his horns

Play time

Part of the herd joining up with the rest of the 'family' 

I am all caught up now
