Back in Toronto, the focus moves to Stouffille, Ontario, where neice Carolyn, hubby Dan and daughters Gabriela and Lucy live. We were invited to Gabby's rehearsal for an upcoming skating show.....she is 5 and has just started skating. Here Dad, Mum and baby sister Lucy help Gabby get ready.
Then she was off with her class, and we all sat in the bleachers waiting for her to come out. All the older skaters went first, so it was quite a while, several coffees and some popcorn later before she appeared.
The second from the right in the closest group...black clothes and dark pink leggings is Gabby.......
Just before one of her little fellow skaters takes a header, there she goes, the 3rd in the line.......Gabby was spotted by a professional coach in one of her classes and now gets private tutoring every week as well as her classes.....can you say future Olympian........??????
Her costume for the show - yup!! - Angry Birds!!! Her ancient great aunties had not even heard of them, but we were quickly educated!!!
Then it was off to a local eatery for dinner....great aunt D and Gabby share a cuddle.......
Grandpa and Grandmummy pose with the budding skater........
