The Good Things in Life

A couple of days before we left Vancouver, we visited with Chris’ friend, DC, and his family.  Their son, M, is the same age as Josh and both boys actually remembered playing with each other last year when we visited then.  Josh was looking forward to the visit, because he remembered that M has a cool tree house.

They just got a new puppy the day before and both Josh and Zoe were fascinated with Duke, although Zoë just liked to look from afar and would run to me whenever the puppy barked or if it appeared to follow her.  She was still a bit traumatized by Chris’ cousin’s big Golden Retriever coming over and sniffing her a few nights ago.

We had a barbecue in their backyard.  The grown-ups chatted and had ginger beer (yum!).  The kiddies ran around and played.  The little dog was being its cute little frisky self.  We finished off cream puffs and ice cream.  All in a glorious summer afternoon with warm sunshine and fresh, cool breeze.
