Thetis Lake

I meant to post about this earlier, but I've gotten behind.

For Canadian Thanksgiving, which was last monday, I went hiking at Thetis Lake park with my friends and their dogs. Everyone and their dog was there, including a very large man with a very small chihuahua. The little dog was confused when his owner got too far ahead of him, but then he spotted him and took off. It was a good thing that Sue's dogs are more friendly than Carl was. Still, I miss that old guy.

It must have taken us about 2 hrs to go all the way around both upper and lower lakes and the weather was perfect. I think we'll probably do that again at some of the other parks. The dogs were completely worn out, which was a good thing.

Afterwards we went over to their house and had chicken and various vegetable dishes, and some wine that Andy's dad had made. He said that when he was a kid they stomped the grapes, but now his dad uses technology of some type to crush them. They had their real Thanksgiving on Sunday with Andy's family and there was a hullaballoo as usually happens when his family gets together. They're the kind of Italians who create lots of drama and sometimes dishes get thrown.
