So now we're up to September! We had a week between Shantel and the rest of the school starting to when Taleesha started kindergarten. So together with Bernice, we made lots of applesauce! Taleesha loves to turn the handle, and especially asked to wear my Fitbit so that I could get extra steps!! Sneaky!
The produce from our garden!
And when Cassie was over, they played schools. No guesses who the teacher might be!!
And finally the big day!! A very happy and excited young lady ready to start kindergarten. She goes two days a week.
Her table buddies are Justin and Kiersten!
On September 10, it was the Homestead race. Here's a pic of Bea, Corrie and myself before attempting the run/walk 5km.
And the bigger group all before the race!
And a picture to prove I made it!!!
And another couple who also made it!!
And on the same day, it was Taleesha's 6th birthday!!
A spoilt little girl!
And a birthday party in between church services!
And a group photo of all the girls in her class!
And then our one day cruise from Seattle to Vancouver on the Maasdam! Here we are the Bellingham bus stop ready to catch the bus that would take us to Seattle!
L-R: Corrie, Trina, Janice and myself.
The cruise boat!
Once on board, we located our rooms and made for the decks! It was such beautiful weather; we even got to tan on the pool deck!! Bliss!
In the distance you can see Mt Ranier (right) and on the left is the Needle.
We were still in port in Seattle but some of us went for a swim, some read and yet others took a nap!
We wined and dined, enjoyed a live comedy show, walked the decks and just made the most of our time!
The day restaurant.
The evening dining room.
During the night the boat travelled on towards Vancouver. At 7am the next morning, we arrived. After breakfast, we disembarked.
We walked around gas town; an 'artist' decided to draw Trina and myself. Apparently we are sisters! We took a photo and discarded the 'masterpiece'!
Approaching Canada Place with our cruise line on the right! Tiny compared to the Norwegian liner parked on the left!!
We took the skybus and walked around the Longsdale quay. Then we took the skytrain back to the bus depot where we caught our bus back to Bellingham. We all had a great time and were thankful for the experience, also the time we could spend together!
Thanks for looking!
