Kaslo kayaking

Today we went kayaking.  This is a beautiful lake.  Tomorrow they come and pick us up to go to the Grizzy Bear Ranch.  Hopefully we will get to see lots of bears feeding on the Salmon.  Will have to wait until our return to post pictures.

Kaslo, BC Canada

Today we drove into Canada, heading to Kaslo.  We crossed the Kootenay Lake on a ferry and then drove up the west side of the lake to Kaslo.

In Kaslo, they have restored the sternwheeler that use to supply transportation in this area.  It was built in 1898 for the Canadian Pacific Railroad and was used until 1957.  It is the oldest intact passenger sternwheeler in the world.  They have done a marvelous job restoring it.

Idaho

Friday we did a driving tour around the lake country.  The trees are just starting to turn color, this was one of the best ones.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Yesterday we flew to Spokane and arrived in Coeur d'Alene this morning.  The main street of town was beautiful with these hanging baskets.

After lunch we hiked at Higgens Point and then took the drive down highway 97 and back up 3.

Children's Choir St. Andrews

Today was Audrey's first choir program in church.  She and Melanie are waiting for church to start.

Lake Powell

We spent last week at Lake Powell.  As you can see the week started out with a few showers and ended on Wednesday morning with a down pour.  After that the sun was out in full force.

It did not spoil our week at all.  We had a great time.

Reilly loves kayaking and here she is waiting for us to get ready to go.
