Canada Day Fun

A few times in the past, we have helped our family in Merritt with the festivities in the park.  Dave and Liz own the radio station and they put on games in the park.  The weather is usually scorching but this year it was only on again off again sunny.  But fun.

With the smaller motor home we were able to overnight in Dave and Liz's driveway.  What a view.

And the view from our crescent sky window.

There were relays for three age groups and we even had a few adults in the older group.  We had a lot of work but fit in numerous laughs.  One stands out for me.  We had gift cards for Tim Hortons ($10.00 !) but only one per family. As I handed a card to the Mom of a group of three kids and explained one per family, the teen-aged daughter grabbed it from her Mom and trotted off.

Some pictures to share:

Getting set up.  It was quite windy so we had to tie everything down.

Hmmm strategy planning

Root beer chug-a-lug

Yum doughnuts.  (that's our grand-nephew and our sister-in-law behind the table)

This guy's girlfriend dared him and then hid because she was embarrassed.

We watched the fireworks over the lake from our deck.
