Trip to Vancouver... B.C!!!

As we come to the end of a weekend in Vancouver, B.C, visiting the esteemed Marylee, I thought I would give a brief photo recap:

"Don't drink out of that bottle, River!"

Downtown skyline by night

A walk with Marylee down to the quay

North Vancouver from the wharf

Also notable but not photographed: the delightful Granville Island Market, Capilano Park and Fishery, numerous Canadian supermarkets, and, of course, the Karen Magnusson wave pool.
Looking forward to more adventures on the next trip up!

Halloween in Leavenworth

Just got back to Monroe after spending the weekend (and Halloween) in Leavenworth. Unfortunately, it rained most of the weekend so trick-or-treating was pretty wet. This did not, however, have a noticeable impact on the huge amount of candy brought in.

I don't have any pictures of costumes or candy, but here are some from a walk I took along the river earlier today:

Autumn Walk With the Twins and Teal

Just got back from a beautiful fall walk with the twins and Teal down the road. . . I can't believe we're halfway through October already! We saw lots of colorful leaves, some late season apples, and even a horse! The twins and Teal also took a couple swings on the buoy (our neighbors' have an old buoy hanging from a rope swing) and I was happy taking lots of pictures. Looking forward to doing it again!
