The Rivards

Ivona Kado brought her parents, who are visiting from Poland, out for the day from Abbotsford. Here we are enjoying afternoon tea with them at the Royal Victorian Tea House in downtown Kamloops.

Celeste took her friend Ola and Ola’s grandparents to the museum.
Here they are having fun watching the trains go by.

Celeste enjoyed the fireworks from our balcony. She called them “stars”.

The view from my balcony in Aberdeen (a subdivision of Kamloops). The river running through town is the Thompson River.

(A few more shots from our time in Abbotsford). Celeste wanted to go outside to play with Smokey, the neighbours cat. Since mommy said she had to get dressed before playing outside, Celeste put on her hat, boots and mitts. For some reason she didn’t feel that pants were necessary.

Here are some pictures from when we lived in our townhouse in Abbotsford. Celeste had her friend Melissa over for a play date. They spent the afternoon jumping on the bed, and Donna and I couldn’t resist, so we joined in too.
