Olympic Torch

The Olympic torch went through Victoria yesterday; actually it started here in the morning and the big celebration was in the evening. Rebekah and I were able to see it go by a few blocks from our condo in the morning, then in the evening we went to the big celebration with some friends. We didn't stay too long at the celebration because it was raining, and apparently we missed some protesters come through and try to stop the torch from getting onto the stage. Kyle wishes we would have stayed to see that part ;).

Rebekah also went trick or treating at the mall here today for her first halloween. I dressed her up as a ballerina. Here they do trick or treating at all the malls as an option for Halloween, I guess as a safer alternative to going outdoors. But it was sooo crowded, it was crazy. Anyways, here are some photos.
