I got a good haul of relatives as you can see by the group shot. We were missing two of the eight siblings and quite a few of the younger family members but it was great to see the ones I did. Everyone but me brought menu items for our picnic and it was delicious. The little ones had a tea party and my Dad still has a wicked Crokinole shot.
It was a bitter sweet Father's Day since my Dad's health is failing. I am overwhelmed with gratitude to the family members closer to home who have been making sure he is taken care of and keeping close tabs on him.

Terrific photos to share and keep forever!!
So glad you got to spend time with your family - they look like a great bunch of folks! They're lucky to have you. Sweet pictures.
It's good to get together with family, particularly when you get along.
Speaking from experience, it's hard to see a parent fading- they're such a presence in your life, such a constant, and then to see them failing, it throws you.
Great photos to cherish Joan! I can't believe how much the women look alike. Your sisters I presume?
Great photos, and I'm sure everybody there was happy you were able to make this trip. Whenever I make it back to Germany, all of the relatives get rounded up for a visit, too.
The photo of you and your Dad is priceless!
It was a wonderful day. I have a great gang of family!
Thanks William. I am not sure he recognized me although I think I was a familiar presence. A sad time.
Yes! We are missing my sister Shirley from Edmonton.
Thanks Pixel. Thanks to my sister in law who is camera savy!
