Gary is a lawyer and former professional photographer. He took a bunch of pictures of Ball's Bridge for us. (I would like to put together a calendar for next year...so he got some winter shots.) It was quite an experience. We got up at 6am and went down to the bridge in total darkness to set up a shot (he artificially lit up the bridge) and he took pictures as the sun rose. I can't wait to see the finished pix.
Upon re-entering the states, we were filled with grief to think that starting in June, everyone (including kids) will be required to have passports. (We even got our passports stamped this time entering Canada--a first!) It bummed us out because the kids have brought so many friends to Canada through the years and now it won't be quite so simple. I doubt anyone that doesn't have a passport is going to run out and get one. So some kids won't be able to come any more. We keep a list and there are over 30 friends that have come up with us for the weekend. We decided to have one last blowout party on Memorial Day weekend.
