After my bear sighting of yesterday, I had 6 people join me on my early morning walk today. We did not see any bear, but what a joy to come upon these two spotted fawn who were following their mom but stopped long enough to look at all the curious camera carrying tourists!
At lunchtime the Shaw children all went out with their mom for some apple strudel and conversation, another important traditon at Shaw Family Reunions. But as always happens, we began to say our goodbyes as Dean Shaw and family were the first to leave at 4:00 pm as they began to make their way back to Massachusetts and New York. The condos that have been home since we arrived began to be less crowded.
Supper was leftovers as we attempted to use up the food from our various condos. We had more tacos, hamburgers, salads, kabobs and the remains of the desserts. After supper, Jay and Holly headed back to New Brunswick. When we had cleaned up from supper we headed off to spend some time at Mark and Teresa's. There I got to sample some of the area's famous apple struddle and watch more of the amazing scenery as the sunset on the day and another family reunion.
This year's Shaw Family Reunion is now winding down, and that is probably a good thing, I'm exhausted. But I couldn't relax until after I took part in our now traditional omlet breakfast. It has become a tradition for me to cook omlets for everyone at the reunion who would like one. This year I cooked 29 3-egg omlets over 2 and 1/2 hours.
Barb assisted in getting the plates prepared and served and everyone seemed to enjoy this year's installment. I think this is a tradition we may continue. After cleaning up from breakfast I took Jennifer and Erin into Kimberley so they could take an afternoon white-water rafting trip. Then I took Robbie and Kelley and we went to see the Marysville Falls. It was a beautiful sight as you can see from the photos below.
