What's going on?

Hi Everyone! I thought we'd finally update the Colyn family blog as it has not been changed since 2006. Times are a changing.
We will try some new things to keep everyone interested and to maintain some sense of order around here. There is some social media integration for posts to be shared through Facebook, Twitter, etc. A Search function, so make sure you add labels to your posts for future reference.
Please be patient the next little while if things move around a bit, and be sure to let me know if you like or dislike whats going on.
Oh, and keep up the good posts, everyone! If you need any help logging in or posting, just contact me anytime... ~John

Happy Birthday Anna!! (and Simone)

Somebody turned 5 yesterday.......




and somebody did not!




Anna recieved a free White Spot double chocolate brownie dessert, and Thomas had to settle for the small cup of vanilla that came with his Pirate Pack.

We couldn't be more proud of our big girl, she is 5 now, with kindergarten on the horizon.

We love you Anna Simone

Daddy Mummy Tommy

ps Happy Birthday to Simone, hope to see you soon.

Get Crack'n


Ezra and Sam's little chicks are growing fast. Hopefully in a couple months
we will be getting some eggs. We probably won't get too many eggs since
we've discovered most of them are roosters!

Colyn Camp

Colyn camp has been booked. I spoke with the new owners in Bowser, and we have booked Bowser for the week of August 11-18 inclusive. That is Saturday to Saturday. I really hope that everyone will be able to come for at least some of the time. I know that it may not work for Rachel and Corrie as they are expecting to be 'bursting' any time. Let me know if you have any questions, and plesae let me know when you read this, so I know who I have to call.

I know that some of you really wanted to go to Stamp Falls, but booking at Bowser is a lot less stressful for Yvonne, Aliza and myself. So hopefully this will turn out to be just as much fun. There will be lots of seafood eats and beachcombing. Ezra, I promise to help you have fun.

See you all in August.
