That's not a fairground ride, it's the enormous crocodile and he wants to eat you up!!!!

Toronto Zoo! The last days of our Ontario trip were with the St Louis family and they showed us a fab time, barbecuing in the sunshine, splashing around in the pool, lots of long lazy chats and a great day out at the zoo. Hannah and Henry on a camel. They only let children whose names begin with H ride the camels. Hence Heather earlier had a ride.

Not afraid of the tiger.

Cool in the pool.

Happy Holidays

Here is my nephews wedding (Callum and Amy). Cute little Stephen (4 yr-old) hit it off with Claire Here we are trying to find the wedding Lots of kilts and the girls loved dressing up in the finery - here with cousin Kirstin

Here's the penitentiary team that visited Kingston's finest establishment.

Sharon turns 40

We got back from Ontario yesterday - lots of photos to share, but we've been on an extended Sharon celebration starting with pancake breakfast with the Reynolds/Forbes in Kingston on wednesday - birthday cake in Toronto on thursday with Dana and family, CN tower extravaganza with Deirdre on friday (the actual B day date). Heather chose the best dessertHere's Ailsa and Heather sitting on the glass floor in the tower - Oma don't look down!.This latter challenge of ascending the CN tower was a tricky one if you're scared of heights (1815 feet=533.33 metres, formerly the worlds tallest building until 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CN_Tower). The best trick is to close your eyes as you go up the glass elevator that takes only 1 minute and count to 60.

There I was thinking the CN tower was the big challenge of the day! Getting four girls to go to sleep on the overnight transatlantic plane required an extra-special mum, who somehow got Laura to sleep at her feet for 6 hours. Well done and happy B-day supermum. More Canadiana to follow.
