Farewell for Uncle Steve ~ Aug. 7th

My brother-in-law recently accepted a new position in Winnipeg, and arrived there Aug. 15th. Our extended families gathered at Hume park to celebrate Steve's birthday, as well as to say goodbye. In the end, I was too chicken to say goodbye, as I try to avoid tears when I can. :(  However, it was a fine time with family and long-time friends of Ann and Steve's. The water park was a big hit with the kids...

The open table of cheesies and blueberries, among other treats, was also popular!

 Keeping Nora from getting wet was pretty much impossible, which made for a wardrobe change later on.

Birthday cake with thick fluffy icing... what could be more glorious?

 Julie and Anna make a welcome appearance, as well as Kristin... both Ann's dear friends.

Thomas and Lewis... always joking around.

And their younger prototype, cousin Aiden.
