Meeting the relatives

I've been in contact with my father's first cousin Dorothy for some time now, emailing back and forth, trying to find out about my Canadian relatives and finding out about how our families are connected. For the past 40 years, she has been travelling to Mara Lake, about 2 hours from Big White, to meet up with her sisters.  So, this year she asked if we wanted to go along too, so it seemed like a great opportunity to meet them, en masse, without having to travel halfway round Canada!
My grand father on my dad's side was one of four siblings and the other three all emigrated to Canada in the 1920's.  The only reason my grand father didn't go too was that he had already met my grand mother and she refused to leave England!  My great Uncle Fred settled on a farm on the Canadian prairies and these are his descendants.

This is Dorothy on the left, with her sister Jean in the middle and her sister Fay on the right.  Dorothy lives in Calgary, Jean lives in Vancouver and Fay still lives not far from where her father settled on the prairies.  Mara Lake is 'roughly' half way between them.

 The bloke on the right is Jean's only son Michael, which makes him my second cousin, and the little girl in the middle is his daughter Ava, who's just three years old.  She is Ned, Charlie and Lucy's third cousin.  Pretty hard to explain all that!

Ava took a bit of a shine to Ned, she kept saying 'hello boy' to him!  I think he was flattered the first time!!
