Here are some of the events that we enjoyed together. We also fit in a day in Raymond--parade and rodeo, a swimming pool day, lots of fun in the backyard and nearby park, a day at the BMX park, a movie night at James' institute, and tons and tons of eating and visiting. Hopefully this can be the start of a great new tradition!

| Hanging out at the dock in Waterton |
 |
| These guys found a partly hollow log and it became a ship and all sorts of other things. |
 |
| Amazingly none of these little ones got wet, but Owen, Tommy, and Ryrie did go into the water later on. |
 |
| All the grandkids |
 |
| All the kids + adults |
 |
| Our little "Sound of Music" hike up to the Prince of Wales hotel |
 |
| Powerful wind up at the hotel |
 |
| We did a lot of this all week--Milling About |
 |
| It was wonderful to have aunts Mavis and Josephine and Janice with us in Waterton and for a big part of the reunion |
 |
| Angel Wren--she stole everybody's hearts |
 |
| The famous deep squat |
 |
| A day at the Cook's farm in Magrath. The boys loved the dune buggy rides! |
 |
| Owen got to lead this horse around the corral for quite a while. He got a little nervous sometimes, but he did fabulously. |
 |
| Tommy also got excited about leading the horses. |
 |
| Owen got to ride the horse without a lead rope--it was his first time on his own with reins. |
 |
| Tommy was so thrilled that cousin Joe let him ride without a lead rope too. |
 |
| The kittens were adorable. Owen and Tommy were begging for one by the end of the day! |
 |
| Kent and George had such a great time riding bikes and playing together all the time. |
 |
| Cafe Rio preparation going on--yummmmm. Also, every single watermelon we ate was to DIE for. It's finally the season to enjoy it all! |
 |
| Jane and Wade brought some fun games for the young fry to play together. We heard a lot of laughter! |
 |
| James got the jumparoo up and running just in time for Kent, Leon, and George to enjoy together. |
 |
| A reunion isn't the same without FOOD |
 |
| Aunt Janice's butterhorn recipe--with a little cheating in buying the buns...was a yummy experiment! |
 |
| These three were so busy playing that they hardly ever finished a plateful of food. |
 |
| The menfolk |
 |
| Cute little maple leaf pjs |
 |
| Late nights and early mornings! |
 |
| G, K, and L loved to get this Lord of the Rings chess set out and play with all the characters in random games. |
 |
| This is the cutest part of the pjs |
 |
| Not to mention the Cute inside of the pjs! |
We loved so much being bake to spend time with our family!!! Thank you, Rachael for taking the time to document and post pictures! Eating great food (you are fabulous) and milling around sums it up well ; ) the boys are non stop about the fun they had with the Cousins in Canada!
