"When I was told that I would be playing for Team Manitoba U-18 in the Canada Cup
football tournament in Kelowna, BC, I was pretty excited, to say the least! Equally
excited were my Dad, Mom and Grandpa Bill, who decided to go to the tournament!
I flew and stayed with my team and coaches at the University of British Columbia:
Okanangan Campus...while Dad, Mom and Grandpa flew separately and stayed in a
Airbnb suite. Although my team didn't win the tournament, it was an awesome week!"

"Occasionally I spent some time with my parents and Grandpa at the Airbnb..."
"...and so did the neighbourhood coyotes...lol!"
