Golf

Casey and Neil ( a colleague from work) took advantage of an early dismissal and some fine October weather to enjoy a round of golf at Northlands Golf Course.

Northland's employs environmentally friendly ways of maintaining their greens.

Back At School

Casey joined the grade 8 class for their overnight retreat up Indian Arm to Camp Jubilee. The weather was very cooperative.

Kayaking

Casey took part in an "Evening Sunset Kayak" in Burrard Inlet. The water was quite calm and he got to see a few seals.

Heading home

We head home tomorrow, after a busy visit in Houston. We've helped Allison and Nils get settled in, and now it's time to enjoy some cooler Vancouver weather. Here we are at a large downtown park, Discovery Green, with Sophia.

Houston, Texas

We've been in Houston, Texas helping Allison, Nils and Sophia settle into their new place. They are renting a 3 bedroom, 2 story home within walking distance of Nils' new job. We've been busy helping them unpack, and spending time playing with our granddaughter.
Sophia loves having a backyard where she can play in the water. And it's certainly hot enough for that!
