The Great White North

We spent the last week up in Canada visiting my family.  We had a couple of nights in Calgary, but spent most of the week at the cabin.  Owen met a lot of family, all of his uncles, aunts and cousins on my side, a great aunt and uncle and a second cousin (? my cousin), plus his great grandma!  And of course he got to see his grandparents again!
Our first night in Calgary we had a bbq, and Owen met a lot of people in a short period of time!
Great Auntie Joan (my Mom's sister) and Owen

2nd cousin Ryan, Great Auntie Joan, Owen (with a bit of an angry face!)

Great Uncle Dennis and Owen

my good friend from high school and beyond, Paula

with my longest friend (since kindergarten!!), Lyndsay and her husband, Jeff, with their two kids, Claire and baby Lars
Then we headed up to the cabin to meet the rest of the Iredale clan!
with Uncle Scott at the pool (ok, this was in Calgary, not the cabin)

chillin' on the deck with Grandpa

at the beach with cousin Anna...Owen was not a big fan of the lake water the first day...he has his dad's thin southerner blood apparently.

but we warmed up nicely with a swim in the hot tub with cousins Anna and Will when we got back to the cabin

Captain Owen pretending to drive the boat!

Making faces with Auntie Kate and Uncle Greg 

"This is my middle namesake?!?!"
