Ontario Family Reunion

In July, Leif had to stay home to work but I took a week off to go visit my dad's family in Ontario for a family reunion, a milestone wedding anniversary, and to visit my far away sister.

My grandparent's ginormous garden!

The delicious reunion cake. It was carrot cake and I may have cheated on the no sugar thing!

The whole gang.

We went out for a special lunch to celebrate my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary! Big congrats to a lovely couple!

Just missing one cousin!

We went to the lake quite a few times to jump off the bridge. This is my fearless brother doing flips.

And us girls just decided to jump.

This kid is so strong. He decided to pull himself up onto the bridge instead of using the shore to go jump again.

Me trying to be like my "little" brother. I eventually did get up the same way he did but it took about 500 tries!

The three musketeers.

Playing cards with the cousins.

I went into the city to stay with my sister for a few nights. One evening, we went out for supper and then to visit the parliament buildings.

We walked around until it got dark so we could watch the light show. Pretty neat!

I had to leave before her actual birthday, but we celebrated a little early. Ya, that was a really good sugar cheat cake too!

Gorgeous sky on the last night.
