Update on Ryan and Stewart and other fine stuff

Hey Family

Many of you tried to follow Ryan and Stewart in their quest to seek world domination in beach volleyball on the courts in Poland. Unfortunately it was over so quickly as they did not make it through the qualification round. The team that knocked them out went on to win the bronze medal and Ryan and Stewart's match against them was very close - going to a nailbiting third game. What an experience and an opportunity to meet people from around the world. The Kiwis and Aussies were particularly fun. Anyway as you can see from the picture they were certainy two very happy campers at the end of the day. Ryan like Laura is now back at school and I hope to travel to Winnipeg between now and Christmas to at least see him once.

Also for good measure here is a family shot taken at Cirque de Soleil when it was here in Ottawa. What a great show!!
