Home Again

Well, dear friends, we arrived back home from the land of Oz (after all, anything outside of Kansas would qualify for being Oz, wouldn't it?? :)) Monday evening. We had a very lovely three-and-a-half weeks up in Canada. Here are a few photos from the vacation...

June 22... stranded in Chicago! Our flight was cancelled quite unexpectedly because of weather, and we were forced to spend the night in Chicago.

Not to be left in the doldrums, we made the most of our situation and visited the Sears Tower! :) It is the tallest building in North America and among the very tallest in the whole world. The view was quite something and we caught a brilliant sunset from the Observatory on the 103rd floor.

Once we had arrived safely in Ottawa, one of the first things we did was go sailing on Saturday, the 24th. It was GORGEOUS and so much fun!! :)

On Sunday, we went home with the Browns after Mass. They gave us a warm welcome and we settled in.

We went on walks through their beautiful property...

...stopping at the various waterfalls...
...and explored the maple taps.

There were volleyball games...
...a visit to a local museum...
...a visit to The Beer Store...
...a canoe trip...
...card games...
...lots of good food...
...and a campfire to finish off the week.

More in the next post!! :)
