Canoe life

Daniel and I have longed dreamed of bringing our family to somewhere beautiful to be together for family time. We both have the challenge of having two families each so there is a lot of family to visit with limited vacation time to do so. This year we gathered our families at a Lake Raponda near Brattleboro, Vermont. Lake Raponda was strategically located between Daniel's family in Ottawa and my family in New Haven, CT. Our dream plan worked. No less than thirteen family members came to enjoy the lake and the baby. David, Lucie, Camille, Erik, Caroline, Emma, Nathan, Susie, Bianca, Michel, Carlos, Andria, and Clararose. I am so thankful for everyone who made the drive. For Joaquin, the week was heaven. Here are some pictures. More to come from Susie's camera.
