Amy visits

We are back in Leisure World and everything is just like we left it. The skies are still blue and the weather is still perfect.
New Yorker Amy flew in yesterday for some R&R and to resume her daily pool ritual.

Another spectacular sunset.

On the road again....

We left the lake early this year. We wanted to spend a few days in BC visiting with Joel and his family.  
 South of Revelstoke BC we took the Galena Ferry to cross the Upper Arrow Lake. The mountains look surreal at this time of the year.

Fall colours everywhere.

Milton and Atti are in school now and they love it.

After school Gramma took the boys to the playground

Seve will not be outdone by his older brothers.



After 5 days of helping out with the new house construction and various other activities it was time to head south towards Arizona.  In Utah we arrived at our hotel room early. The Zion National Park was only a 15 minute drive away so we spent what was left of the day hiking up to the Zion Canyon overlook.

Lucky for us the Zion Park had just reopened after the recent US Govt Shutdown. 

Lead the way Yvonne! We're only 500 feet above the Virgin River down below.


The late afternoon sun provided some dramatic lighting.

This guy watched us as he ate his supper. 

Our side trip to the Zion National Park was well worth it. The 12 mile scenic drive took us through a mile-long tunnel and numerous stops at viewpoints, one being the Zion Canyon Overlook. There was a narrated tour available but we didn't have the time. Maybe next year.
