Thanksgiving


It started as a beautiful Canadian autumn day, sparkling blue skies and the early reds and oranges of the maple trees. The extended clan from the Guelph and Toronto area gathered for a longer hike (then planned) in the Halton Regional forest. By the time we had finished, the clouds had rolled in and it was starting to feel like late autumn. We all repaired to our place for warming hot chocolates, followed by a big feast of turkey and fall vegetables -- topped off by pumpkin and apple pies from Monica and Marg, respectively (mmmm...).

Great visits and conversations. The kids had a good time playing tennis, shooting nerf darts and ended up parked in front of an old VHS tape of Disney's Hercules to finish the evening off (good thing I found that old VCR in the pawn shop!).

See the photos or the slideshow. If anyone wants to send me more photos to add, just email them to me.
