First evers

We were like kids in a chocolate shop, set free to sample the different shapes, sizes, colours and smells… and no parents watching! What freedom! What delight! Worry about tooth decay later!

These are some of the 'first time evers' for both Sheree and I…
walked upon a frozen lake
came within metres of a grizzly bear in the wild
came within metres to a black bear in the wild
saw our very first hummingbird [small yet magnificent]
drove an RV on the RH side of the road
ate poutine [an eastern Canadian cheese and potato delicacy]
gazing at the tallest mountain in the Rockies [rarely cloudless, ‘xept for us]
seeing the largest river system on the west coast of Canada [Fraser River]
walked to the top of a snow-covered mountain
sat for an hour in a mountain valley… and listened to silence
celebrated the arrival of our fourth grandchild [our Seattle bubba!]
