Holiday
R&R at the Swinkels
Hey you know it's gotta
be a special kinda family to open the house up to a
bunch of action-starved motoheads - especially right
after Christmas! Or maybe they're just crazy?!
Either way, a whole ton
of people showed up to the Swinkels' house on Saturday,
December 30. The older folks stayed cozy inside
sampling "The Recipe" (a wonderful fruit and, ahem,
booze concoction normally reserved only for those
pre-race nights around the campfire) while the kids did
what they do best - played outside!
Here's a (probably
partial) list of who was there:
Smiths, Cookes,
Turners, Lockharts, Macabes, MacKenzies, Pattons,
Bazansons, MacLeods, Elliots, Dana Gorman, Scott
Frasier, Darren Van Snick, Joe, Joyce and Ryder Treen...
(that's about 50 people, by the way!).
Here's some shots -

Charlie Smith
about to do a big burnout

You'd swear
this was the summer
(this is the way their driveway normally looks)

The beloved
track

When you can't
ride bikes...

You can choose
from these...

Or these bad
boys! Robbie's is the red one.

Heidi's new
ride.
It pays to be a stunt jumper. Really.

The fastest
woman mxer in Canada
(and her friend - who had all the boys messed up)

Speaking of
which: Alex MacKenzie, Nipper, Charlie Smith,
Robbie Swinkels and some Ryan Lockhart guy

You just can't keep that boy on the
ground
Thanks again to Jan,
Peter, Jaime and Robbie for being incredible
hosts! Everybody had a such great time we didn't
even get to the Supercross Circuit Tournament. Of
course it was a foregone conclusion Robbie was going to
smoke everyone anyway (and claim his awesome homemade
trophy) - he'd been practicing so much his hands were
showing definite signs of PlayStation thumbs. See
you all again in the Spring thaw!
