Sarnia...you were good to us!

Well our Sarnia trip has come to an end. My BFF Sarah and her hubby Wayne and the three girls, Emma, Chloe and Hannah were AMAZING hosts. We wanted for nothing...except perhaps, more time and for good byes to not be ugly and sad and necessary. Emma is a beautiful young woman with talent to boot! She is serious about school and life but still knows how to have fun. I will have to recreate Werewolf as it is now a Fale family favourite. Chloe is a lovely young lady who is sporty and feisty. She will not be one to be walked over later in life. Hannah is the baby of the family and a cutie! Her high pitched voice and love of meat is hilarious. She is the apple of her daddy's eye and his little buddy. She was so good to Cohen and loved hanging with him(sometimes). The girls made sure Madeline had a great time and she loved sleeping in the trailer. What a treat. Even Cohen had a sleepover in it! Theo loved his private room and his sleep ins! Cohen also enjoyed flirting with Emma and making Michael jealous! (and he was...LOL) We did everything we wanted to. The most important things were connections. It is wonderful how you can meet up again after 9 years and feel like just a week had passed. True friendship feels right and easy. Sandra, other BFF came down for the weekend and we took advantage of hanging out together leaving Wayne and Filo behind to complain how they never get to do anything, but secretly they love it. No time with nagging wives and Sandra around to ask them to do stuff! I loved catching up with all the Donkers who were around. Not much has changed there too except Emily went ahead and grew up into a beautiful and talented young woman. She is sporty and independent and just has this air of sophistication about her! I loved hearing stories of her being "naughty" and how much fun she is having. Herb and Anne are a wonderful couple to be around. Their love for each other is so evident and Herb still makes us laugh! Bubble Boy Forever. I cannot wait to meet up with Adam in Guelph and try and find Ray in Edmonton! Such a great family! We went out and saw the old house and had a quick catch up with the neighbours. Bright's Grove is a perfect place to grow up. Beaches. Sun. Safe community. Lucky us back then. Enjoy the slideshow. It's long but it's our week in photos. Good bye Sarnia. It was fun The Fales.
