New Years Eve 2013: Brentwood Inn
New Years Eve: Esther and Garth, Harold and Lynn ready to head out.
It is truly a joy when the kids volunteer to stay home and let the old folks head out for a night on the town on New Years Eve. Of course the kids gave us a stern warning about “drinking and driving” and told us that if we felt we have had had to much, to just call home and one of the them would drive out to pick us up. Thank you to Jay and Jennifer, Kari and Grayson, Christine and Audrey for looking after things on the home front (Link Here). We will check in at the bewitching hour.
All the Best in the New Year, Mom, Dad, Garth and Esther
December 31, 2013: Brentwood Inn, Brentwood Bay, B.C.
As the hours and minutes ticked away towards midnight, Lucas J. Copplestone and Drew Betts continued to work their musical magic. It was not long before the entire Inn was rocking.
It was to be another New Years event where we met more of the parents of the kids you see in the photo below. It never ceases to amaze how inclusive these young people are. Over the years they are always encouraging their parents not only to attend, but to become fully involved whether it be a local events or on holidays to some other part of the world. Each is always anxious to introduce his or her parents to the parents of others as they are as proud of their parents as their parents are of them. Over the past several years it seems our family continues to grow in leaps and bounds.
Part of the younger side of the New Years 2013 Crew.

Canadians Invade New Orleans: Seize Navigator of the Sea’s
Photo: SIC Beauty members with the Cruise Director: An important thing to do on any cruise is to become friends with the Cruise Director.
This post begins with the second part of our holiday when our twenty-two member travel crew joined forces aboard the Navigator of the Seas. Rather than provide a traditional look at life aboard the ship, I have worked to provide a flavour of the special times and friendships that emerge when people actively seek out others to share their festivities.
There is little doubt that upon our departing from the Navigator, there will be a good percentage of the passengers and crew on board who will remember the fun-loving Canadians. While I have drawn attention to some our antics, it was all good clean fun on this special family holiday.
