And we took pictures of the CPR trains as they rumbled by. This is the main line. 

We visited the old Catholic church at Knotch Hill by the railway tracks once again. We saw it a couple of years ago. Still a home for pigeons. 

Friday we spent cycling around Sorrento. We went as far as a couple of wineries near Tappen and back again. 

Another day we spent the afternoon white water rafting down the Adams River. I was skeptical at first but really enjoyed it. Ros and I are at the back of the raft, ahead of the helmsman/guide. 

Phil MacIntyre was our leader. 

Really pretty... worth the climb. 

One day Ros and I hiked with a group up to the alpine meadows north of Shuswap Lake. Beautiful area and not all that many bugs. 

They even baked a cake for grandpa. Here he is with Barbara Anderson, the director of Sorrento. 

We spent a week at Sorrento again this year. Ros' parents were there that week - Jack again celebrated his birthday at this church retreat and educational centre. We took the van and it performed well. David drove the parents up and we drove them back home. 

You can't help but take lots of pictures in that park. I hope Ros just picked up this flower and didn't pick it! I'm sure that's what happened. 

Nigel and Cathy visited us in early July, I think. Here we are in Queen Elizabeth Park. 

Here Michael is blessing Ann Duke and her bicycle. This took place in June during Bike Month in Vancouver. It's a great event. 

We had a blessing of the bicycles again this year on the steps of Christ Church Cathedral. Here my colleague Paige Dampier speaks to the audience while priests Peter and Michael wait to bless cyclists and their machines.
