This trips travelling map

Just another year, January - December 

 

Humberside Band, Aiden on Sax. May 13

And drums which was his chosen instrument

Not sure he was having a good time here

June at another music camp, Wahanowin
near Casino Rama. June
Now, Kayla always has a good time at these gigs

July, and another. Kayla is very gung ho
about just about everything, 

Musically or otherwise

 

This one at Mono Cliffs, 

Summer music camp out past Orangeville

Just in case you wondered where I'd been
Probably working on my retirement
Sunday, 5th September, summer is over

I started this playcentre the year Kayla was born

Richard & I dug the "foundations"

And I've added to it over the years

And no one ever hurt themselves,
kids or adults

Mid September, the usual suspects

At the cottage, Udora

Another birthday cake. Spot the fire hazard

Another birthday party, on the deck

And more usual suspects

This near Margaret's and Katherines
Kayla's horse lady where she got royally trodden
on by a horse. Her knee has never fully recovered

I, or rather one of the companies
invest in a podium for the Toronto
Debating Society

I'm still the big shot, but try to off load
a lot of direction onto the members now

We welcomed everyone, still

I had set up the events to include

As many participants as possible

I think there was a maximum of 17

If every spot was taken

Some of the best parts were 

At the bar after
Totally some of my best times were due to the club

Looks like the kitchen,
here, a Halloween party I guess. October 30th

And another cake, this time Aiden's

November 16th, 2004, so I guess he's 17

More of Kayla's: Samantha at a gathering
 later in November

Aiden having some kind of a time

Patty and Roy's wedding

December 5th

I guess some people like this sort of thing

With grand daughter cc

December 8th, family time

As I remember, some people were close to enjoying themselves here

Trying again
Practicing for happy families pix of the year on the 10th

December 11th to 18th, Quebec, Ste Annes again
It's quite a cheap (as in poorly built) timeshare,
but there's always one available this side of Christmas

In the mighty cruiser
We arrived after a long trip from Humberside
to Cornwall after the band show
I was a total wreck arriving in Cornwall around 3AM.
It was far far longer than I'd imagined

Prior to Christmas is often a gamble

But there was lots of snow, 

And of course, it was bloody cold (like in Quebec! Duh!)
In Ontario, they shut down the lifts around 15 below
Here, still running in minus 30 

Lots of lovely green runs for me

And through the woods

Far too dangerous for this old fart

But I have a great time

And Kayla, as ever, teaches a new recruit, Kate

I assume that I was cameraman this day

Prime conditions

Ah! Memories

And really lots of fun

Even for me

Yep, certainly lots of snow, and great views from the top

Well, neither of these guys were exactly MasterChef's
Nor me, but mine was edible

And the real thing, for some reason on December 29th
