Summer 2022 â new friends, new experiences, canât wait for next year!
Indian Arm Boat Cruise
What a beautiful day for a cruise! We had the most wonderful lunch with spectacular scenery. We all can’t wait to do another one next year!
Paint Night
A fun new experience for many. We brought out our artistic sides (or not) and had a night full of fun and laughs!
Horseshoes
Thank you to the Abbotsford Horseshoe Club who welcomed us with open arms and taught us how to play. A fun evening trying something new.
Afterthoughts – Gourmet Desserts
Cheesecakes, pies, and coffees. Yummy! An enjoyable night of catching up with old friends and meeting some new ones.
Field House Brewing Get Together
Enjoying a nice cold drink and some good food with new friends!
A cool summer treat at Birchwood Dairy
Yum! Yum! We never need an excuse to go for ice cream! What’s your favorite flavor?
Greendale Acres – Weenie and Marshmallow Roast
We had so much fun last year, we had to do it again! A run through the corn maze, some selfies with animals, listening to live music, all while enjoying hotdogs and marshmallows around the fire with great company. Such a wonderful evening!
Yuk Yuks Comedy Club
We enjoyed a night full of laughs at Elements Casino. We even got some play time in on the slots!
Banter Ice Cream
Enjoying our favorite flavors on a hot summer night!
Abbotsford Airshow
We all piled into one big vehicle and off we went for the evening. Fast planes, fireworks, and a night of food. The drone show was a favorite for many!
Granite Falls Zodiac Tour
Last year we loved the Bowen Island tour so this year we did Granite Falls. What a way to see Vancouver and the Indian Arm as we zipped through the water in a zodiac boat!
Cypress Mountain Coaster
This was so much some of us had to go twice! The coaster was a blast and the views were spectacular!
Dark Table Dinner
Dining in the dark…. a great experience! Without the sense of sight, the senses of touch, taste, hearing and smell are intensified AND we still managed to get most of the food in our mouths!
Golf Anyone?
A favorite outing among many of our members. We golfed several times this season at all different courses. We don’t seem to be improving much, but we are all having a great time trying!
Olund Trail Hike
An enjoyable hike down to the river and back on a gorgeous day led by one of our very own VPR members! Thanks Dave!
Retro Music Festival – Weekend Getaway – SunPeaks
A fun weekend had by all! We booked in for two nights and spent the days and evenings listening to tribute bands of John Bon Jovi, Fleetwood Mac, Bryan Adams, AC/DC, and Journey. It was a first time visiting SunPeaks for most of us and we all agreed that we would like to go back!
Taves Estate Cidery
Enjoying a relaxing afternoon trying some nice cold ciders and cocktails.
Dinner at Gian’s
Delicious ethnic food experience!! 4 people who attended the dinner had never had Indian food before and like the rest of us, quite enjoyed it! One of our members said “It was fun going as a group because I don’t think I would have tried an Indian restaurant if we didn’t go together as I wouldn’t have known what to order.”
Year End Party
This is the first year we had our year end party in a home. There were over 20 of us eating delicious food, visiting with new and old friends, laughing, and having a riot playing games. It was a fantastic evening for all!
VPR Vacations
Tour of Mexico – Part 1
Some people stayed for the full trip and others joined us in Cancun
We started in San Jose Del Cabo toured La Paz, Todos Santos, Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende and Queretaro then flew to Cancun to meet up with another member joining us for the second part of the tour. We swam with the whale sharks, flew over the Teotihuacan pyramids in a hot air balloon, took a bus to explore the small town of Todos Santos, and wandered the streets of San Miguel de Allende and Queretaro while taking in the culture of the cities. We took a full tour of Mexico City and even got to experience the party boats at Xoximilco. What a fantastic time!
