Goodbye

We had a really good visit

Grapes and a Hammock

We had lunch at our neighbour's place on Sunday
with a view of the grapes

Marc and I tried out the hammock

Palmerston Fair

We were in time to see the parade

Michelle is the new ambasador
here with mom and sister



we had a good time at "taste of Minto"
Around the outside were small booths where we could fill our plate
Here it was pulled pork

Last one from the Gorge

These roots look pretty cool

Tubing 2

Recognize the yellow shoe?

Eric and I passed Marc's tube
as you can see He's missing too

That was fun, let's do it again
This time Eric and I on the tubes and the boys on the
other floaty thing

We did the same as the boys
here it is me holding on

and Eric, same story

The boys on the other hand did fine this run

This thing works much better

The boys made it on top this time

Reorganizing and going down the river all the way
This was a lot of fun

Tubing 1

We brought our own tubes, helmets and life jackets
We only needed a $2.50 wristband and sign a waiver for tubing
You get in by the biggest rapids
you can choose to get in the water past the rapids
or do the rapids multiple times

Isaac in his second run
These Elora rapids are fast and it is not easy to stay in your tube

Here are Annette, Eric, Josh and Karina approaching the rapids

Karina had this big smile on her face

This is Josh's leg sticking out
It's not recommended to go down the rapids this way,
it kind of hurts

It's a 2 km run, at the end the water is quiet

This tube like thing was much more stable
it was fun to ride

loading the tubes to go back to our campsite

The added Touch

At our photography course we learned that when you add people in a nature picture it can add something to it

I think here it does

The fisherman gives the picture depth and he's walking and makes you think of walking there too

We love taking pictures

Just checking if they are good

Elora Empty Building

There are a few empty factory buildings near the gorge

William and Marc went to explore

Marc has been reading a book in school
playing in such a building

with opa and oma by the Elora Falls

Camping

We went camping
(we ate sweet couscous)

With opa & oma
(They were already sleeping in the camper at the farm,
so we just moved their temporary home)

The Poots
(How do you like the girls picnic table?)

and William
his face will be on other pictures :)

Portraits

Family

Nel, Dad, Mom and me

Marc & Olga

Tractor line-up

Ada thought her husband Ruud would be interested to know
what kind of tractors we had
So Olga Rien and Marc lined them up

It was kind of fun

For the finishing touch we added the lawn mower

Coffee at Cor's

Cor has a nice screened in room to sit outside

Emma and Ada met for the last time as young girls

My dad and Cor like to chat

Sausage

186 Bales were in the field

Rien put them on the wrapper

To make a long sausage of Ballage
