Goodbye Jasmin

THIS POST IS BY DOUG...



On the way to the airport, we stopped at "The Keg" for dinner. Jasmin had another steak, medium. Sara left early with Daniel to get ready for his hockey playoff game. The rest of us had ice cream for dessert, with chocolate or butterscotch sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry.



We then caught up with Sara and Daniel for a bit of the hockey game, which Daniel's team won, thanks in part to the two goals that he scored. Jasmin and I didn't see the end of the game as we had to leave for the airport.



The Air Transat mascot entertained the children in the check-in line.



Sara, Daniel, and Stephanie caught up with us after I got Jasmin checked-in.



This is Jasmin waiting for her Air Transat escort to show up.



Stephanie already misses Jasmin and didn't want her to go. I'd have kept her myself, but "big Stephanie" already told me I couldn't.

Jasmin is home - yay

she is well - although a bit tired and has showered us all with gifts.

this really was the trip of a lifetme for her so again a big thanks for all involved. i'm feeling a bit jetlagged myself having stayed up till 4am to make sure she was really coming home - more later :)

Thank you all for giving this little girl such a great time.
