Family Get-Together at Imrie Park

This weekend was very special most of our family gathered for a weekend of visiting, playing, eating and relaxing. The weather was a little cool with some rain but it did not dampen anyone's spirit. Deb arrived Thursday afternoon from Kelowna, BC, then Myrna &Gordon, Tracy, Keith and family, Michelle, Chris and family Jen and Alex, Dani, on Friday, Lori and son Cody, Brenda and Garry on Saturday to round out our group. There were a few missing but this is the first time we have gathered almost everyone so it was an awesome happening.
Friday evening after settling in, we enjoyed the time catching up on news, sitting around the fire, eating and relaxing. Saturday everyone did their own thing for brunch, we visited, Gordon, Garry and Cody set up the Bean Bag Toss game during the afternoon and later Woody joined in and played a game with some of the kids. Bean Bag Toss is a fun game, not easy to score but a game young and old can play and easy to set up and store. We gathered for a huge dinner, everyone contributing their favorite dishes (nothing better than potluck) using the shelter to cook and gather in as the weather was a little unsettled. Later we gathered around the general fire pit sharing stories of our lives since last we met.

Topher is Christopher's nickname!




It was a marvellous weekend, the time passed so quickly as it always does when friends and family gather. We plan on doing it again next year! Thanks to all for coming and helping to create such fantastic memories!
