International travelers

We left the country...

only for 4 days and only just to Canada. 

We went to cheer for this team...

  and mainly this girl...

Who did well taking silver in the eight and bronze in the quad in which she was stroke seat.

These boys should get an award for most enthusiastic cheering section. They yell with all their might "go everett!" - and sometimes even when our team isn't racing at the moment - ya know, gotta keep the competition knowing who's the best.

The weather behaved and gave us a fair amount of sunshine with only a little sprinkling of rain.

We enjoyed ourselves on the 1.5 hour ferry ride

Eating yummy chicken at Nando's

And going for a train ride and playing at the logging museum.

 And thanks to my sister Lisa's suggestion we enjoyed our Kinder eggs and hot chocolate and doughnuts from Tim Horton's (I just didn't get a picture of those or the beautiful parliment building and fisherman's wharf that we saw). 

We even got to go to church in Victoria. It ended up being a YSA branch. I'm sure that was the noisiest Sacrament meeting they've had in a long time with our bunch in the back pew. :)
