The Rivards

That pointy thing in the distance is the pedestrian crosswalk over the CN rail.

Here you go, cousin Anna! (o.k., this one needs some explaining. Here goes…most of my family has at one point, or is still working at a McDonald’s. Cousin Anna and cousin Lisa are currently McDonald’s managers. So, we have started a tradition of taking pictures of McDonald’s restaurant’s as we travel the world. This one is actually in one of Kamloops’ historical buildings. Unfortunately I was too close to get a full shot of it.)

The Old Courthouse. In the summer months they have a jazz band, craft fair, and art display every thursday night.

Celeste loves watching the electric trains at The Kamloops Museum and Archives.

It’s only a 1000 piece puzzle, but Celeste thought it was pretty easy. As you can see, she’s almost done

Weaving’s a breeze…look at Celeste go!

Zia Enza gives Celeste a boost so she can operate the antique telephone operating equipment.

Nothing like a relaxing afternoon watching the trains go by.

Here we are at one of Celeste’s favourite hang outs, The Victorian Teahouse. This time we’ve brought along Zia Enza.

Would you like one or two sugar cubes in your tea, Zia?

Here’s a short video of the valley with the Thompson River running through it. Imagine being able to see this from your backyard!

Celeste and I took the Zia for a drive up to Juniper (a subdivision of Kamloops) to show her some of our favourite houses and the amazing view of the valley with the Thompson River running through it. I could really get used to this sight.

Hey Francis! Can we get one of these?

Here’s Celeste and Zia Enza having a good time on the swings at Juniper Park. Well, Celeste was having fun putting Zia to work.
