The Stanley Cup

The Stanley Cup came to Campbell River! To the left you can see hockey player Mike Commodore who is originally from Edmonton. He came with Rod Brindamour to CR with the Cup.
Rod Brindamour posing with the Stanley Cup. I remember going to elementary school with Rod back in the late '70s and early '80s. My memory of him was that he was a good track runner. I'm not a fan of hockey but I had to go and see the cup for myself since I may never get another opportunity. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be a hockey fan. Yeah, right!

Cap and Gown Day

Me, my family and my degree! Wow, I can't believe I finally have my Bachelor's degree and it's in science!! Read that Mr. Brown my grade 8 science teacher and weep =)
Me flashing my degree for all to see.

Pinning Ceremony

My nursing class at our rehearsal for the cap and gown ceremony. We are dressed up for our pinning ceremony which was taking place immediately after the rehearsal.
A couple of friends from my class. We had good times but it's nice to have graduated.
Me with my family. Ryan is not to happy to be posing as he has just sat through two hours of ceremony and wants to go home.
A couple more of my classmates.

Funny Photos from our Trip

This was such a fun photo to do. Here is our whole group dressed up in old time clothing. The kids all wanted an outfit where they could have a gun. My SIL wanted to be a 'bad/sleezy girl', my mom wanted to look like the matriarch and I wanted to be a 'good girl'. Top Row: me, my mom, my dad, my brother Peter. 2nd row: Dave, Ryan, Nicholas, and Kirk. Front row: Linda.
Lastly, my son desperately wanted to have this photo done as he is a big Star Wars fan. Ryan is Aniken, I'm in the middle as Padmae (don't I have great abs??), and Dave is Obi Wan Knobi. Sorry if I've flubbed on the spelling but I only enjoy watching the films not obsessing about them.

Dave taking a moment for a pose in California Land. It was a beautiful evening.
Ryan and Kirk posing with Chip and Dale after coming off the river raft ride.
The Excelerator at Knott's Berry Farm. I rode this a few times. The first time I screamed in sheer terror. One of the most frightening and exhilerating rides I've been on and I've been on many. It has approximately a 250 ft drop and as your coming down the highest hill you cannot see anything in front of you except the parking lot. The hill is so straight up and down that no matter where you sit you cannot see the track.
Ah, Vancouver sunset. This was captured just before we left on another plane to take us home.

Ryan having a friendly chat with the pirate captain. His advice was to be a good pirate by going home and kicking the dog and to remember to tear up the neighbours lawn.
