An always-expanding webkinz collection:

A fine party hat
Ferg and Grandad DID actually enjoy the hockey game (Sweden vs. USA), although...

We raced home on Remembrance Day so that Effie could attend part 2 of her hat-making class. Here's the final, velvet and silk, product:

Three and a half hours in the ferry line-up... van envy:
Visiting cousins in the okanagan:
Boring video of driving in dense fog (but with exceptional audio commentary!)...

Trick or Treating practice session - the 1-Up Mushroom and Zorro:
charting the dum dum flavours...
