Canada Trip 2008 |
It hardly
seems a year since I visited my family in Ontario, Canada.
A lot has happened in a year. Ali has moved back to Burlington
and bought her own house. Crue has changed from a baby into
a toddler. My name has gone from 'Yaya' to 'Grandma'. Still,
I felt as if it was only yesterday that I was there.
I spent most of my time with Ali, Brian, Beth and Crue, but
also managed to fit in a wonderful visit with my two Canadian
best friends, in which we laughed so hard for three hours
that I thought my sides would split. I also caught up with
my brother and his family whom I'd not seen for 3 or 4 years
I think.
Here are some pictures of my time with Ali, Brian, Beth and
Crue. |

Ali picked me up from the
airport and drove me to her new home in Burlington. It's lovely,
and she's done a great job with the painting and decorating.
It was so nice to see her
in her own place.

We spent a lot
of time in her living room, curled up on the couch and chairs near
that lovely warm fireplace. |

Her guy Dave came over for
a visit that evening. Here they are looking at the Photobombers*
site on Ali's laptop.

So of course, Ali
had to try some Photobombing. |

The next day we
headed to Brian and Beth's house in Hamilton. (This is last year's
pic because I forgot to take a new one this year.) |
|
|
There were Brian
and Beth waiting to greet us. Brian is sporting a shorn dome this
year. |
|
|
And of course there
was Mister Crue. He was a teeny bit shy at first but before long
he was all smiles. What a good-natured little guy he is! |
|
|
Brian and Beth
have done a lot of work on their back yard, including a very fine
gazebo and some climbing equipment for the lad. I am sure we would
have spent far more time out there if the weather had co-operated. |
|
|
Crue is a fearless
young fellow and a bundle of energy. He never stops! |

'Cut the lawn,
Dad? Sure, let me at it!' |
