Jumping for Joy
Battle of the Titans: Art and Jer, competing for the farthest leap from the boathouse. Despite Art's home game advantage and buff physique, Jeremy beat him by a healthy margin. Go Jer!
This was hilarious - Vanessa actually wanted to change her mind at the last minute, but she had already built up a little speed and couldn't stop in time!
Big man in the water!

Cannonball Anth
I can displace a fair bit of water, but unfortunately I couldn't give this my best effort because I was afraid I'd crack the diving board if I jumped too hard!

Fresh Fish
Vanessa and I had a great time fishing with Art Kingma, my cousin-in-law. This was Vanessa's first real fishing experience and as you can tell by her smile, she was pretty excited!
Lemmings
From our family reunion - this is a bunch of cousins and cousins' kids jumping off the roof of the boathouse.

Dinner at the lake
Life at the cottage was mellow and good, and dinner was a highlight of the day. The food was always great, and the conversation relaxed and enjoyable.

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
The cold beer whilst singing is a modern touch. ;-)
I like how a gentle roll of late-summer thunder finishes the hymn - a little bit of divine participation!

The Farm
Vanessa was somewhat amazed by the sheer vastness of the land in Canada. Space like this just doesn't exist in Taiwan.
Grandma's Basement
When we stayed in Winkler, Jeremy, Justin, Kristine, Vanessa and I slept in the basement rec room. Janice and Jeremy had to sleep separately, because of their not-yet-married status! That was fine by everyone, we just thought it was cute.

Greasy Spoon
After we flew from Toronto to Winnipeg, we got in our rented van (huge!) and started driving south towards Winkler. We stopped at this Greasy Spoon:

Welcoming Vanessa into the family
On August 17th, Mom and Dad had a party to welcome her into the family. All our old friends were there, and of course they all thought Vanessa was terrific. (Who wouldn't?!) Anyway, here are the videos from that day.
