GATHERING of the CLAN

Yesterday was special. It was brief but wonderful to have everyone here for a rare get-together. With Jim on the west coast, us in the north and others scattered throughout the GTA and beyond this was indeed a special day for everyone.

As always the food was delicious and everyone helped get the meal ready.

A toast to celebrate the occasion.

Pictures of recent family events were shared. Here Jim shares photos from Emma's wedding.

Owen enjoyed meeting everyone but feeding the fire was a greater attraction for most of the day.

A trip to the ice-cream parlor was the perfect way to end the day. Does anyone but Owen like "candy cotton" ice-cream?

Today everyone heads home and the house will be quiet once again. We will miss the fun and excitement but especially Owen who has been such a delight all week.

Safe travels everyone, thanks for coming and all the memories.
