The day after.

Saturday morning was once again a beautiful day!  Bright, sunny and warm…who could ask for anything more.

Brian, Fran, Eric and I headed over to Kathryn and Gary’s late in the morning for a visit. 

  When we got into New Westminster we stopped at the Auto shop where Spencer works.  He is attempting to restore a 1956 Willy’s Jeep pick-up.  Funny enough Eric and I had a 1958 Willy’s pick up that he put a 305 Chev engine that was our family vehicle for many years.  He also had a 1949 Willy’s pick up for a spare.  Eric and I along with our two small children (Krista and Erika) in the front.  A long time ago.Lots of work to be done yet.  I wonder if he’ll ever get it finished.    

Kathryn and Gary’s.  

Such a beautiful old house.     

Kathryn says…”Get a load of this picture!”

  The family in earlier days…That’s Eric with the beard and me next to him, Kathryn is on the far right.

Visiting in the back yard.

Kathryn and Gary chat with Eric.  Everyone is tired but relaxed.

Emily and Caitlin.

The Miller family playhouse is leaning.  Brian takes Fran’s picture holding it up!

Everyone is ready for lunch so we decide to walk down to Columbia street on the Fraser River.

The Magnolia’s are blooming and they are just gorgeous.

So….where shall we go for lunch.

Kathryn and Eric just start walking…we’ll figure it out when we get there.  

 

Everyone comes…Kathryn and Gary, Brian and Fran, Eric and I and even Caitlin and Emily. 

I took pictures yesterday when Eric and I walked down to Columbia Street in the late afternoon.  This is looking down 6th Street to the Fraser River.

Old buildings everywhere.

 

Heritage houses.

  The colors are so vibrant.

 

 

A beautiful day and the houses are beautiful too.

The family is now heading along Columbia Street.  It is a steep walk down the hill and it will be a steep walk back up after lunch.

Columbia Street.

In the Pub on the Keye along the Fraser River and lunch is ordered.  Emily on the right orders a “Gin and tonic.”  That is what her Grandma Doris used to drink! Too funny.

A good chat while we wait for lunch.  

Walking back along the boardwalk on the Fraser River. 

 

Kathryn thinks this might make a good mother of the groom dress when Spencer and Lindsay get married next summer! 

Just up the hill from Columbia and this is the small park where Kathryn and Gary had their wedding pictures taken.

We made it over the water and no one fell in!  However Caitlin and Emily did say that they had both fallen in before.

Fran hams it up!

Caitlin took a picture of the “adults!”

A gorgeous setting for a picture.   

Caitlin wouldn’t let me take her picture!

Up the trail and home we go.

Emily got tired so Caitlin carried her little sister…..but not too far.

Back up 5th street.

The day is over and we are all tired.  We had a good visit. 

Tomorrow Eric and I will head back to Yuma to continue our journey North. 

Good times were had with family!
