FAMILY REUNION 2007

ALERT ALERT ALERT ALERT ALERT ALERT: 

I know we are months away but we decided to get out a letter early to make everyone aware of some changes…Although it is not our turn to host this year I have made a group booking at the  Saskatoon Travelodge at the corner of Circle Drive and Idywald. I  have group booked 20 rooms at a discount rate. We did an exhaustive search for other opportunities and the Travelodge is the all around best for price, quality and services. You will need to call the hotel and book your room under your own credit card under Fast Reunion by 1 September 2007. Reservations can be made by calling the hotel directly at the toll free number 888-278-4209. Please mention that you are attending the "Fast Reunion" & would like to reserve within this room block. 

Highlights from the Past

Christmas 2004 at Mikkie's

"Show me the light", "SHOW ME THE LIGHT!!!" a memorable quote from Mikkie.  Christmas eve after "Draiddle" the Christmas elf came, Mikkie had gathered the children to see Rudolf was outside and that they better hurry to bed.  Rudolf and the reindeer were played by Brett and Chet with the appropriate red flashlight.  They however, got their signals mixed up resulting in Mikkie yelling out the window while the kids watched for Rudolf.  The light finally came on resulting in much disorganized hurrying to get to bed.  Young Dadye in the excitement asked where Brett was so he could see Rudolf.  Mikkie with the quick response indicated that he was currently indisposed in the Bathroom. 

It is certainly a memorable Christmas when all the family can be together.  Much to Collin's horror however, was that it was his house we invaded and we all want to do it again next year. 

Some of you may have been looking for Family Letter 2004 check out the navigation bar on the right.   

Check out this years Family Letter 2003 .  As some of you maybe aware Christmas at our household is a challenging experience.  The kids must be challenged to receive their presents.  In years past this could continue all day.  One year it took them until almost dinner time to find all their presents.  The challenges often include various games, searching, out door orienteering and puzzles. This year was actually fairly short.  It was family poker and the entire pot had to be won before opening the presents.  Even with the 0530 start and a break to BBQ breakfast, the presents were opened by 1200.    

Brett and I took a tour to Saskatchewan to visit Gord while on holidays in July.  We stayed at Taylor's Cabin at Christopher lake and as usual we had a great time.  There is no point in going on holidays if you are not going to have a great time.  It actually started earlier where I went to visit Garnet and Karen in Ontario.  What a place Garnet has developed.  He has a beautiful pool which tends to be important in Ontario.   Needless to say I made great use of it.  Plus the great humour in watching Zander perfect his belly flop.  I came back and immediately jumped in the camper and drove to Saskatchewan.  We did all the usual things, Water football, played cards, SCUBA diving, and of course daiquiris.  One must always bring the blender.

This Spring has been extremely busy at work.  We did however, go to the Jasper Aquathon in May 02.  Brett and I road the waves of the Athabasca river in blow up arm chairs it was quite hilarious.  Check it out in Christmas Letter 2002

SURVIVAL WEEKEND

Don't break the blender if you intend to survive.  Gord forgot the spoon in the blender resulting in small leak and no daiquiris.  In actuality we took the kids out for basic woods survival over the Easter weekend. Don't forget to check out our Family Letter 2001.
