The last couple weeks in October 2004 seen children/grandchildren arriving from all over the country to celebrate their mother's 80th birthday.
The first to arrive was Brian and Debbie |
 |
They were soon followed by Sheri, Sheldon, Andrew, Brady and Rick. Whom LIED to Sheri's grandmother about going into Kelowna to visit a friend, so that they could go to the airport to pick up Carolyn and surprise mom, but my cousin Neil, had already let the cat out of the bag on that one. |
 |
At this point the only child missing was Bob, so we could only do a portrait with 5 out of 6 children. |
 |
Sheri and her group had to leave Monday, and soon after that Bob and Kathy arrived as a total surprise to mom. |
 |
Once again there was only 5 out of the 6 children together at the same time. A couple of nice group pictures were taken. |
