This past weekend the Leeuwenburg family celebrated 50 years since they first immigrated to Canada from the Netherlands. So to mark the occasion the family had a big party at Joy's parent's house. The day was full of food, fun, and a bit of water.
Many photos were taken, 362 by me alone, I have done a very quick pass of the pictures and uploaded a few (almost 30) into my Picasa Web Album. Below you'll find a couple of them linked directly.

Pay-back against Gerard
On Sunday a bunch of us (Fred, Gerard, Reuben, Tanya, Joy, and I) got up bright and early for a round of golf at Whisky Run golf course in Port Colborne. Gerard ended up with the best score, but everyone had a great time. Thanks goes to Jenneke (Joy's mom) for looking after Gerard & Tanya's herd of children, which allowed us all to go golfing.

For someone who doesn't take many people pictures, these ones turned out beautifully. They are all superb; well-exposed with good composition, but more importantly, they provide a glimpse into the character of the subject. Well done. I especially like the photo of Jackson.
Thank you very much George, I really appriciate the complement. I hope that I can continue the trend in the future.
Jackson sure does have amazing eyes.
Is Ellora saluting you... oh, its a chip she is holding. Could have taken it for some other gesture.
The pictures are great and I did check out the ones on your album too. It is great to see people in your pictures.
I hadn't even noticed Ellora's gesture. ;)
They are great photos. I think the one of Gerard getting the bucket of water is my favourite. The only question I have is: who was behind that bucket?
There is a bit of a story behind that photo. Pretty well during the whole "water-fight" time period Gerard was walking around and spraying people's pants (you can use your imagination as to where). So eventually Reuben decided to get a bit of revenge.
The shots of Jackson and Jake are my favorites. It's all about the eyes and the shadows. What a great bunch of people to let you take photos all day.
Half your comments are from yourself. Is this how you increase your comment count?
i agree with george. well done ryan. plus, i love the water shot. it really captures the moment.
Of course the best way to have a high comment count is to reply to everyone's comment, thereby doubling the comments. :)
Hello Ryan in the water fight,who started it?
