Switzerland October 2017

Image
After the two weeks of cycling we visited Bryn and family in Wavre, Switzerland. Alicia was performing in a voltige demonstration. Before Alicia's group, there was a "musical ride" in which Bryn was participating. Alicia mounting the horse, while it was cantering. Next there were two, and another girl was preparing to join. Three on the horse, Alicia at the bottom. A gymnastics display at the end. After the performance there was a barbeque. Upper picture from the left: Gisele, Jean-Louis, Hervé with Brandon opposite. Lower right: Hervé. Bryn and Alicia on a Sunday ride. I rode a bike. We met Paul and Zucco. This weekend it was Bryn and Alicia's turn to muck out the stables in the morning and to take the horses in at night. A final bike ride the day before we flew home. It was beautiful, clear weather.

Brandon's Visit July 2017

Because we needed to get the weeds out from around the dock at the cottage in order to sell it, we went there with Brandon and Maggie, Megan's dog. Paul, working on the weeds. Note the green weeds. What do you think Brandon is looking at? The cottage did get sold. Visiting Margot and family in Barrie. They are standing in front of a sculpture called the Spirit Catcher which is on the Barrie waterfront. This sculpture was originally created for EXPO 86 in Vancouver. We also went Tree-Top Trekking. In the foreground is Joshua. I took Brandon and Brendan who lives next door to Wonderland. It looks as if they are praying before the ride. I guess it went OK. We went on a Sunday bike ride with the Toronto Bicycle Network... ...and we went on a Tuesday ride with lunch at the Brickworks.
