50th ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND

The middle weekend in July saw everyone gathered to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary, the actual date being April 8th. Family starting arriving on the Friday, Sam was the last to reach Comox from her course in Beckett, Massachusetts and Yvonne the first to leave for her program in Vancouver. Fortunately Sam arrived in time to overlap with Yvonne by half a day. We were also pleased to have Sean, Erin's boyfriend, here as well. Here is a series of photos from the weekend.

We met up with Tim and family at Rathtrevor and the others followed during the afternoon. It wasn't very pleasant weather so we all moved on to Coombes to see the goats on the roof and buy a few supplies at the stores there.

For some there was a trip to the beach at Kye Bay.




Saturday morning was the big golfing adventure at Longlands, a par three course but challenging enough for most of us.






That evening we had a barbeque at home, various games were played and we all saw a slideshow of photos from the past. Much merriment.

On Sunday we all went to the Kingfisher Resort and Spa for brunch. Lots of food with choices enough for all palates.








We went to the beach at Goose Spit.















The last outing was the the Saratoga Speedway where the brave raced go-carts around the track. Not everybody found that easy!

A Stroll in Macdonald Woods

Wonderful weather, good company and a good lunch.

They said there was an eagle in the tree. I guess they were right. Can you see it?
