Since our last blog entry, I returned from Manitoba on Canada Day, to find Ray and the kids surviving in my absence. It was great to spend time with my family, unfortunately, my uncle passed away the very day I returned to Vermont.
Onward to Ontario - we travelled through the US with a stopover at the magnificent Niagara Falls. We actually lucked out and were able to see some fireworks at the falls which were very impressive.
Our next destination was Guelph (technically Ariss) to visit Aunt Sandra and cousin Randy, Nikki and girls. Emma and Leah were thrilled to spend time playing with their cousins and to have a brief visit with cousin Ian!
We took in some of the local sights such as St. Jacobs and Aunt Sandra arranged some impressive photo opportunities like watching the Old Order Mennonites travel through Ontario's only covered bridge with their horse and buggies and of course checking out the Pilkington Overlook! Thanks for the great hospitality!
Next was a visit to friends Mark & Julie and kids in the Windsor area. Dealing with the infamous Ontario heat and humidity was a breeze, since the Vickers' have a beautiful outdoor pool!
We were busy checking out the sites like Point Pelee on Lake Erie which is Canada's most southern point. We also got to watch Abbey's soccer game, Geoffrey's baseball game, see Mark at work at his pharmacy and Ray and Mark managed to get in a few games of golf and relive their "glory days". 
We are now slowly heading back home, we are going to go back to Manitoba to visit the family via the US with a few stops along the way - like the Mall of America for one!
Bye for now!

Sorry to hear about your uncle. I am surprized that you did not send Ray (Clark) over the falls in a barrel Carmen? Whats the history behind the Pilkington sign Ray is standing front of?
Clark better play a few more rounds of golf on his way back, i don't want to hear a bunch of whinning from him when i kick his butt on the golf coarse.(that includes ticks to Ray). Will you be stopping at Fort Garry north of winnipeg it's a nice historic site.
Take care
Paul
