Phillips Family Reunion

August 10, 11 & 12, 2001
Kaslo, British Columbia, Canada

Saturday morning we all had breakfast at the hall; Vivienne had bacon and sausage already made to go with pancakes, scrambled eggs and juice. Lots of people helped cook, flip pancakes and keep things organized.

The family information table near the geneology on the wall was a popular spot.

Tom & Waldo spoke to the group after breakfast but my photos were all dark. If anyone had better luck and would send me a copy, I'd post it.
In the afternoon, Linda, Werner and I worked on getting stuff ready for dinner, and were assisted by others who dropped by. We also got a couple of shots of people by the Canadian flag:


Mildred, Tracy & Molly

"Ava's Kids", Linda and Marilyn around the flag

We started setting up in the late afternoon and by 6 lots of people were there with food. It was a beautiful evening, clear and warm, and we even saw a few meteorites later. Some people went swimming in the late and canoeing since we had three canoes. If anyone got good photos of the lake, canoes or swimmers I'd love to post them here. Until then, here are some shots of the barbecue.


The canoes were fun both in and out of the water

The turkey was excellent!

As it got dark we put more wood on the fire and clustered around for some music. Guitars, drums, harmonicas and voices blended and floated out across the lake as the sky darkened. It was a beautiful end to a very full day.
