The Bards

My cousin Tucker (Chuck Jr.) married in October 2010 to a lovely girl with UK roots. The wedding was brilliant, loads of fun I can't remember when I danced so hard. Thanks for the great night! ...Oh ya, and congratulations! xx

Owen joined a hockey league this year, he has improved a lot since the season began.

October holiday we spent at Disney Land in Paris. We stayed at the Lightening McQueen Hotel, it was on sight. We had a super time, the kids enjoyed seeing their favorite TV characters larger than life.

In Ottawa we went the Museum of Nature. We enjoyed the fossil gallery (Owen loved the dinosaurs), the mammal gallery, the blue water and vale earth gallery! It was a nice place to go with young kids, they enjoyed their time in the submarine replica. Jeremy's sister Dawn-Robin joined us for the day, it was a nice visit as she really enjoyed the excitement of the kids and Owens inquisitive nature! http://nature.ca/en/home The next day we had a pool party with family and loads of fun with our cousins! Thanks Andrew & Paula for the hospitality we had a blast!

Deb's hometown, Geraldton lies 160 km northeast of Nipigon at the junctions of Hwy 11 and 584. The centre of the Greenstone Region, Geraldton is located on the shores of Kenogamisis Lake. Gold mining was important in Geralton's early days with eleven gold mines operating from 1934 - 1952. Mineral exploration continues with much gold in reserve. Wild Goose Lake offers over 500 feet of beautiful sand beach and sparkling clean water. Cottage country, marsh land, tranquility, vast fresh water lakes, simple beauty...not to mention "ahhhh family & childhood friends" comfort... my hometown!

Every year, the last weekend of July, Jeremy's late Fathers side of the family get together for the "annual family picnic"! It is held at Valens Conservation Area near Ancaster/Hamilton, Ontario. A great parc, loads of picnic tables and picnic areas, great grassy grounds and lovely lake and beach side.

Niagara Falls, city in the Regional Municipality of Niagara, southeastern Ontario, Canada, a port on the Niagara River opposite Niagara Falls, New York. *Length of brink: 1060 feet *Height: 176 feet (due to rocks at the base actual fall is 70 feet) *Volume of water: 150,000 U.S. Gallons per second. Actual amount varies, there are two hydroelectric plants which draw water into their reservoirs prior to the Falls. Their intake greatly affects the volume of water flowing over the falls. The amount of water being siphoned away depends on two variables. The time of year, and the time of the day. Flow is greatest in the daytime during peak tourist season (June, July, and August). In the event of an emergency the flow can be somewhat reduced by the hydroelectric companies increasing their intake. The Bridal Veil Falls is named for its appearance. It is located next to the American falls, separated by a small piece of land called Luna Island. www.niagarafalls.ca

Our spring vacation was spent in the Middle East. We enjoyed the pool, the beach, the culture, the food and of course the heat!

For Easter we invited a few friends for brunch including an egg hunt in the garden. It was great fun!!

Already our boy is 5. We had a great birthday celebration at Owens school and with his friends in our neighborhood. Owen wanted to go to the car manufacturer activity center in a local kids entertainment place called "Kindercity" it was great fun!
