Hayeses

June 2008 marked the 50th anniversary of my Grandpa Hayes' passing. While I didn't have a chance to know him, the legacy he and my Grandma left behind is one of unconditional love and dedication to family that can be felt by all of us descended from them. We gathered on the south shore of Lake Nipissing on the weekend of July 5/6 to celebrate and indulge in some summer fun - and food of course.....

Sixty-odd years later































While in North Bay we also celebrated my mom's 60th birthday.







Driving through Callander brings back a lot of childhood memories. The lake is beautiful and of course we took the mandatory drive past our old house on Mountain Rd.






Congratulations to the newly engagged Chad & Mona!
