Surprise Visitors!

The original plan was for Tim, who spent Christmas in New Brunswick, to take a bus back to Ottawa just before he takes the plane back to South Korea. As the weather was looking nice after Christmas, Nanny and Pappy Zinck decided to drive him to Ottawa and thus stay with us for a few days! What a nice surprise!

They arrived just before supper on Boxing Day and we had a nice dinner of left over Turkey with all the fixings! This was one time that nobody complained about leftovers!

Happiness is a nice meal!


Although the visit was short (only 2 nights) we had lots of fun. Poppy helped Matthew and Tom build a Crystal Radio from a kit. Pappy also helped Anna put together her "Polly Pocket" toy.

Here is Pappa and Anna working hard on the Polly Pocket toy (note the instruction sheet on the floor ;-)


Here is a picture of Nanny and Pappa with their favorite grand kids (and a bear)!


As Tim's first flight on his long trip back to Korea departed the Ottawa airport at 6:15am, Tom drove Tim to the airport, leaving the house at about 3:45am.. Yawn! Nanny and Pappy left Kanata at about 7am and hoped to get home before the next snowstorm hit.

It was a very nice visit and we were very happy to see everyone. We now have a few days of relative peace and quiet to get ready for New Years Eve!
