NOW we are back

Hello daughters. We are now back from ON. :) It was a nice visit. Dinner was good. Aunt Sue cooked enough for an army. Lots of leftovers. During the week it is only Russell and Aunt Sue so they won't have to cook suppers for a while. Everyone was there. Well, Albert (not Dad but Michelle's hubby)came a bit late for supper but he still partook. Did a lot of driving around in ON. Lots of attractions were closed but we still saw lots. I got a soaked runner, foot, sock all because I wanted to touch the water in the Georgian Bay. And we really got soaked when we had to leave. The weather was windy and rainy. Everyone looked like drowned rats. To get on the plane is outside at the mercy of the elements. No covered walkway there. But it was fine. Started driving north and went to the Scenic Caves. It has a suspension bridge and ice caves. Dad & I only went on the bridge, (too much climbing for the caves)and almost made it to Owen Sound but had to make it to A. Trish before supper so had to head south before reaching it, had lunch with U. John & A. Dorothy on Tues. when they arrived in Hamilton. They escorted us to Fergus and we had a coffee/tea with A. Dorothy's mom and then Dad & I drove around and ended up at Waterloo/St. Jacobs. The market is only open on Thurs & Sat. so we missed out but that is okay. Drove around that area and saw the Amish with the horse & buggy. Here are a few pics.




The Hoeksema/VanVeen family soon to have 1 more member added. Michelle is due with #4. Nathasha fiance, Dan, is at the left of the picture.

Just a small portion of the family gathered. Most of my pics were blurry. :(




Do you believe these last two pictures? They are made entirely of lego!

Sounds like a ton of fun! Reminds me of our trip(s) out there with you guys... Welland canals, the fort thing, minnie mouse, and CN tower all in a day!
That lego is crazy... people actually have jobs there where all they do is build stuff... not joking!
