LIONS TRIP 2012!

 

On Saturday morning 16 guys from Btln 3739 headed for Vancouver to watch the B.C. Lions play the Toronto Argos! First stop was at the statues just above Osoyoos and then on to Timmy's for breakfast. Our timing was bad, the lineup was out the door! The lineup was inconvenient but not a deterrent because the guys were desperate for donuts. We made other stops in Princeton, Abbotsford (Where the guys picked up a Burger King crown. 1,2,3 King!) and Vancouver before arriving at the Science World parking lot. Geoff (Sarge 89)and his son Sam as well as d-Pod joined us for the game. It was a good game, lots of back and forth action with some big plays. (The Lions returned a kick for a touchdown. It was called back on a penalty but exciting nonetheless.)

The final score was Lions 28 - Argos 23

After the game we headed to Boston Pizza for supper. BP was busy but again the wait was not a deterrent! After pizza we headed for the Super 8 in Abbotsford where we spent the night. (You would think that with an earlier game we would have got more sleep than in the past. False! Most guys stayed up late!)The next day the guys spent time on the waterslide and made a trip to Wal-Mart. (Through some blackberry bushes and out an alarmed fire exit.)

We made our traditional trip to the mall and then on to Red Robin. Ryley and Joe met us for lunch(So glad that they could make it! It was Ryley's birthday!) I decided it was time to take a final picture before we headed home when I realized that I had left my camera at Boston Pizza in Vancouver!(This is why there are no pics!) We said our goodbyes and then headed for home.

This trip was Btln 3739's tenth year in a row going to Vancouver to watch the Lions! It just keeps getting better! Another amazing trip with so many good memories!
