Hockey Tournament

This past weekend we went to Kelowna for Brendan's hockey tournament....

As you can see... this is Gabi's FAVORITE thing in the world to do!!

We got a smokin' deal on a huge hotel room...


No, it doesn't take us long to become complete slobs!

And we came home with this.... Isn't it pretty??

On the way home we stopped in Merritt for something to drink and McFlurry's for the kids. After going to McDonald's we pulled into the Chevron gas station to go to the Town Pantry. To our absolute and complete shock and disbelief, sitting and eating lunch at the Triple O's was a very dear friend of ours that we haven't seen in 10 years... Michael Hansen! He and his wife and family moved to Columbus, Ohio because Michael got a job as worship leader for the Vineyard there. Barry has known Michael and his family since 1965 when they lived in Chase B.C. as neighbours. And I have known Michael and Helen (his wife) since we went to youth group together, and they were instrumental in getting Barry and I together! We did not know that he was even in B.C. ( he was here for his parent's 50th wedding anniversary). What are the odds of meeting up with him at a Triple O's in Merritt?? It was amazing to see him again!
