More digital pictures at the end of the evening. Russell, Jane, Christ, Graham, Alix, with Sandra taking the photo. A great evening.
Chris Kellett was in town from Calgary.
Several there tried on Ros' Kanga boots.
Ros, Jane, David, and Margery under the umbrella... it was a very nice evening.
Margery and Jack came over for the barbeque, here with Sandra, Ros' cousin.
Then went home for a party.
A few days later we went to the Vaisaiki parade along Main Street.
Another angle.
Inside, it was great fun. Here Alix and Graham are racing in wheelchairs... virtually. It's a screen they're looking at.
And so did I. Clunk.
Of course they had to go down the slide nearby.
Irish relatives visited in April. Ros took Alix and Graham Rhodes from Dublin to Science World.

And the buildings are still going up. There are four construction cranes in this view from the bridge. I sometimes think the downtown peninsula is getting so dense it will sink. But it makes for a very lively city, all these people living there.
Heading into downtown in the morning. The new condominium highrise apartments are everywhere.
View from Cambie Bridge of the east end of False Creek, with a water taxi coming toward us. This is the sight I see most mornings as I cycle to work across the bridge on the way the work.
Hockey has ended for Ros for the season. Here's one of the last games. It is a beautiful field at Hamber School, with the North Shore mountains in the background.
Grandpa Jack Kellett showed the regimental flags stored in a cabinet at the Cathedral to Naomi when she was in Vancouver a couple of weeks ago. These World War I and II battle flags used to hang in the sanctuary but they got old and fell apart and looked awful. they've been restored and make a nice display now.

And I'm posting this picture of Ros just because I like the smile.
My son, in all his colourful glory. I do love this kid.
I keep putting up pictures of birthdays, and here is Russell's 27th. He's with Ros and his old school friend Aaron Wilson. Great outfit, I thought. The cake can't be seen but that's probably okay since it was a reused one - Ros hosted a baby shower for a fellow teacher two days before and they ate less than half the cake. It wasn't a good idea, I think. Every birthday boy should have his own cake!
