The trip yesterday was a perfect day to drive up Eagle Mountain.  Quite amazing to leave the house and be driving up the mountainside in about 15 minutes. Some very upscale homes being built in that area and the view is unbelievable. Of course the weather is a little cooler the higher you go but I did notice those electric heater lamps on their balconies

Another area is called Mill Pond right in the centre of Abbotsford. Really well  laid out for walking, playground , nature and a wooden walkway right over the pond. We drove around and stopped to see where Clara works as a teacher in an elementary school  Abbotsford is about 25 minutes south of Mission and Clara enjoyed showing us the points of interest.  Katie is a young (15) international student from Cologne Germany who lives with Clara and Terry for the semester. They also have another student Danny from China who has been here for a longer period of time. At the moment he is home staying with his family and so I have his room

A nice mixture of sightseeing, family visiting and relaxing times in between.  Chelsea's paternal grandparents live here in this house and maternal grandparents about 10 minutes away. Today Scott and I got a ride into town and spent the afternoon walking through the downtown area of Mission. Stopped in an Antique store, second hand book store, and had a nice afternoon of course ending up at Tim Hortons.  Chelsea took her grandparents out for a breakfast date to spend time with them. Tonight Scott went to a hockey game with Terry and Chelsea's uncle

Tomorrow sounds like it is going to be a full day
