"I am especially thankful for the gathering of my husband's entire family this weekend. We arranged for a rafting trip down the grand river (through this most wonderful company called Grand River Rafting Company) on Friday afternoon and we had record breaking weather for our trip.... sunny and hot, and unbelievable for October!" Wagner Family, Cambridge, Ontario
