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.
