Today we attended an surprise anniversary celebration for Rob and Ellen at their daughter's home in Port Elgin. I'm proud of myself as I somehow kept the secret for over four months.

The wedding party 40 years later. I guess this proves they have all aged well.

The weather co-operated somewhat till it didn't. As the guys were barbecuing the skies opened up and the rain came down.

The canopy worked hard and kept the middle area dry. Umbrellas were used to keep the hard working barbecuers (yup it's a real word, it's in wiktionary) dry.
