VISITING IN CALGARY

It was simply amazing to know we have so many friends that we could have spent the entire time in Calgary visiting and catching up 24 hours a day. By the end of our time, we were all exhausted. Here in Panama we may have one major event a week. A potluck, a party or a simple coffee. In Calgary we had our days jammed with food, friends, family and fun. Here are only a few shots of our time in Calgary. I have so many pictures, I will post a few separate blogs to show the best ones!
This is Josh with his best buddy, Connor. One incredible gift was seeing my children play with friends they have so badly missed.
This is a group shot of almost all our "old" small group. (L) to (R) Rob and Amanda, Robert and Gen, Linda and Paul.

Syd had a sleepover with a bunch of her friends.(L) to (R)Tristina, Melanie, Evie, Nicole, Racheal Sydney, Linda, Liz and Becky.


Joshua pretending he is not enjoying the love from his cousins, Nicole and Marley.




We were able to go to a farewell the Biro's at Laura's house . Even thought it was a brief visit, we picked up where we left off. This group of woman are like family to me! (L) to (R) Laura, Keira, Linda, Sonia and Erynn



Sydney's grade 6 graduation at Glendale, with the grade 6 girls. We were so please Syd was able to be a part of this day.





One evening we had a neighbourhood BBQ, just like the good old days. We all camped out in front of Bernie and Anne's and waved at all the curious on lookers as they drove by!

(L) to (R) Ann, Shannon, Syd, Lynn, Brooklynn and Linda.


Looking through olds photo albums. Courtney, Syd, Nicole and Judy.


One of Syd's close friends is Grace, on the right, and her sisters, Cam and Beth, (Not in this photo.) Syd has skyped Grace may times and we have all seen Tessa the dog on our screen, but not in person. The person in the pink wig is Josh, trying to fit into a household of girls!


My dear friend Liz (seen on the right) had a lovely lunch for me and some of my friends from Glendale school. It was wonderful to drink water out of crystal glasses, eat an incredible lunch and get all caught up. (L) to (R) Paula, Elaine, Kim and Liz.



Off to upload some more picture.
