We finally had our first visitors from Down Under arrive yesterday. Kate and I picked up Donna's brother Gary, his wife Catherine and children Carlin and Thomas from Pearson Airport for a five day stay. They spent the last week or so in Los Angeles visiting Disneyland, then San Francisco to visit Catherine's brother Patrick, then flew up to Toronto to see us, before flying back home via New York City.

Kate and Alex were very excited about seeing their little cousins. Donna has been touring them all around Oakville today. They dropped in at Holy Trinity for a quick look at the school before heading downtown to see the local Oakville sights. Tonight we went for a stroll through the local ravine to see if we could spot a few squirrels before wandering over to the Niblick for a shared dinner with the Smiths/Betchers (aka Smetchers).

We will be spending the next few days playing tourist guides in the GTA... watch this space for details!
