Here are a few pictures of my recent trip to Canada to visit my
family, son Brian and his wife Beth, their son Crue, and my daughter
Alison.
|
|
|
|
Here's Brian,
Beth and Crue's house in Hamilton. It's in an older area and the
houses reminded me so much of the part of Seattle in which I live.
They'd made a lovely guest room downstairs and I was lucky enough
to be the first occupant.

|
|
| The
one and only picture I have of Alison! She's feeding Crue his dinner.
|
|
|
Beth,
Crue and I are getting ready for a trip to the park.
|
|
|
Crue
gets so excited when he sees the swings. He loves them.
|
|
|
Later
it was playtime with Dad. I don't know which one had the most fun.
|
|
|
On
Friday, Crue took his first trip to Niagara Falls. This is a photo
of the American side of the falls
|
|
|
Here
are the Horseshoe Falls with the Maid of the Mist, laden with oilskin-clad
tourists aboard. I remember going on the Maid of the Mist as a kid.

Beth
and Crue in front of the American Falls.

Brian and Crue with the Horseshoe Falls in the background.
|

|
|
Beth took
a picture of me, Brian and Crue and managed to get both Falls
in the shot.
|
|
|
Later
we walked along the Boulevard and the tourist area. Tulips were
in bloom all over the place.
|
|
|
We
stopped for a 'Timmys' near the big Sky Wheel. Crue was fascinated
with a red pole beside the bench. Beth took a picture of us.
|
|
|
He
loved looking at everything. Beth took this picture too.
|
|
|
I
spent Saturday and Sunday with Ali and forgot to take my camera!
When she brought me back home, Beth showed us the beautiful cake
she'd made for me. It was fabulous, french vanilla with a lemon
filling. I thought it was truly a work of art.
|
|
|
Crue
thought it was a work of art too, and had great fun eating his piece.
|
|
|
On
Monday we visited a Bayfront Park in Hamilton, for a walk and a
play. Brian and Beth are actually very happy, but I didn't realize
I was supposed to say 1-2-3 before I clicked.
|
|
|
Crue
loved playing on the grass.
|
|
|
|
And he adored
playing with his ball. I won't forget this day in a hurry because
right after I took this picture, I walked around to pick him up
and accidentally slammed him in the side of the head with my dangling
camera.
Not long after
that, I went to undo the strap on his stroller harness. He turned
his head just as I reached down and my thumbnail caught him just
underneath his other eye. It actually drew blood! I was mortified
and felt so awful about it. Luckily, he didn't hold a grudge!
So that's
a few pictures of my trip which, as always, went far too quickly
from my perspective anyway. :)
