After the ALS walk in Saturday we drove down to Salmon Arm to visit our niece and family and participate in the Walk for Juvenile Diabetes in support of our nephew Tristan who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes just over a year ago.

It's been a steep learning curve for the whole family.
I got to drive to Kamloops with Monica in her brand new (to her) BMW she got for an outrageously low price from a dealer in Vancouver that imports them from Japan.
Those convertibles sure do a number on your long hair!
The diabetes walk was a big deal with lots of activities for the kids. We walked around the park and got to check out the animals.
The highlight was a Kermode bear rooting around in the dirt. Suddenly their was a screech, and a marmot flew out of his den. The bear pounced on his lunch. A bit too authentic Wild Kingdom for some of the visitors!
Did you know that Canada leads the world in Type 1 Diabetes research? And so we should with our Banting and Best heritage.
