TRIP TO CANADA

We just returned from a great time in Canada with Allan's family.  Grandma Asplund celebrated her 90th birthday so all the family and many people from their little community came to her party.  We were so very happy that all of our kids made the HUGE EFFORT to come and be part of the celebration.

Allan has 7 sisters and 5 brothers so it was quite the group.  The party was held at a large park/museum that one of Allan's brothers sponsors and it was a terrific place for kids with old tractors, a horse drawn school bus , old school, jail and trains.  I think everyone had quite the entertaining day and Allan's mom seemed very pleased with all the friends and family that came.


                                        Some of Grandma Asplunds beautiful granddaughters.

The grounds and fun attractions at this part/museum were a photographer's paradise.  We took several family pictures which I will post at another time but the grandkids provided grandma and grandpa with a gaggle of pictures.


The grand and great granddaughters sang 3 of Grandma's favorite songs for her and Ame preformed some serious hip shakin' .


One of the days we all went to a farm and through a really fun corn maze.  It was rather interesting trying to keep 24 of us together and not loosing kids in the corn.



Perhaps the grandkid's favorite activity was riding horses at Uncle Mark's.  There were kids and horses everywhere for several hours--don't know who tired out first !


We are so thankful for this wonderful time with all of our family together.   We cherish the occasions which bring us closer and hope there will be many more to come.
