Canadian Thanksgiving

For Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday, October 14th, we met up with some friends at the Lower Seymour Conservation Area in North Vancouver to work up an appetite for our turkey dinner. Helene, Chloe, Ben, Finley and I went for a hike around Alice Lake, while John, Stuart, Rosanne, Aydin and Gemma went for a bike ride.

All that walking is tiring!

Afterwards, we went to Stuart and Rosanne's house for a delicious Thanksgiving feast and accompanying fun, music, and great company.
