Every fall my friends and I head up north with our wives and children. I’m so thankful for this wonderful tradition that has lasted for roughly 12-13 years.

It’s a chance for some really good friends who don’t see each other often to get together. It’s a chance for our kids to play together. I love the fact that they get along so well!

It’s a chance to relax, enjoy the fall colours up here in Canada. Most importantly it’s a chance for us to bond around a campfire and a few meals.

It will also be a chance to see Anna after her operation. Thank God the doctors said it went very well. I know the cancer is gone forever! We’ll be there to take her mind off the situation and hopefully cheer her up.

It will be a chance for my family to hop in the car and spend 2 hours in the car together excited about the trip. I love the fact that my daughters can’t get enough of this tradition. It’s something we have in common.

Thank you for making this trip so much fun year after year and that everyone enjoys it. I’m also really happy that Jeff and Julie will be able to make it this year! So cool.

Thanks to my friends who put in the work to organize this trip. It takes foresight, planning and effort. It’s much appreciated.

Thanks for the good times we’ve had over the years and the good times we’ll be having next month when we head there.
