The Colyn Family Blog 2015

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

More pictures

Well, I will try to make this one better. Not sure why there is a big gap in the other one.

Here are more pictures.

Some people are too cheap to buy the real picture, so they take a picture of the picture.

The roller coaster was again the funnest ride there for most of us. Willem and Al are really enjoying themselves.

Willem wanted to try see how well he could do on the bikes. Not too well as he almost fell off. Oops. But he did manage to hang onto the bike.

PNE anyone?

Well, not quite sure what we were thinking strapping ourselves into these contraptions. Didn't have enough time to change our minds. It was quite thrilling and scary, too. Glad I did it, but don't need to do it again.

The girls are enjoying some rock climbing determined to make it to the top. Some did, some didn't. But it was fun either way.

10 Years Ago Today

Today is our anniversary and we still fondly remember how
you all made the big trek all the way to Edmonton to be with us. Thanks!

Fall Happenings - Rice Tafel and Stuart McLean

The Colyn Family Blog
Wow - what an awesome Summer this has been! Now that the children are heading back to school this week, it does make us take a look at the calendar and start writing down events for the Fall - the Bulldogs Games, for example! Jake and I have found two events coming up and we are wondering if there is any interest from others to participate as well.

1. Qualicum - Old Dutch Inn Rice Tafel - Saturday Oct. 21. Two sittings - 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.. Cost - $24.95/person.

2. Stuart McLean - Live from The Vinyl Cafe. Nanaimo Port Theatre - Wed. Oct. 11 or Thurs. Oct. 12 @ 7:30 p.m. Cost is $40.50/ticket. (Special guest - Murray McLauchlan.)

Anyways, let us know by Sunday September 10 so we can book the numbers.

Have a great week settling everyone into school, etc. It is Fall Fair in Port Alberni this weekend coming up, if anyone wants to come to town to take in the parade (Sat. 11:00 a.m.) and fair.
