For me, Thanksgiving is over for another year. Jamis and Scott, Ryan, Deb, Austin and Alex were all here. Yesterday afternoon we took the kids to Springbank Park to feed the ducks and geese. The kids (I use this term very loosely) had a wonderful time and the geese were well-behaved for geese - they only nipped at each other, never at the children.
The fall colours in the park were spectacular.
Jamie managed to put the climax on the day. She and Scott chose to go to the barn after dinner (instead of staying home and watching a movie and digesting their dinner like the rest of us). The next thing I know, I'm getting a phone call from Jamie saying that she is on the way to the hospital. Sure enough, the magical combination of Jamie, a horse and a rope resulted in...............a broken finger. At least this time it is a simple non-displaced fracture that likely will just require 4 - 6 weeks of splinting. To be on the safe side, however, they are sending her to a plastic surgeon for assessment. Too much excitement!!!!
Enjoy the pictures.
