HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Audrey and Sophie getting ready to Trick or Treat

Together with Mom

Crafty Ladies Show

 We are in California this weekend for the Crafty Ladies show.  We were maxed out with vendors for this show and here are a couple aisles before the crowd arrived.  The weather is perfect and looks like it will be a good show.

Fight On USC Trojans

Andy and I flew to Los Angeles this morning for the USC game.  The space shuttle is housed in this building after it's trip from the airport.  They still have a little work to do before opening it to the public.

We always enjoy the games and the band.

Grizzly Bear Ranch

This was our first afternoon of bear watching.  It was a mom and two 2 year old cubs.

This was the second morning of bear watching.

One of the cubs.

Andy and I on an afternoon hike in the Selkirks.

 The Bald Eagles on our raft trips down the river were incredible.  We must of seen 30 or 40.

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.
