We spent a wonderful Canada Day with the Wilde's, Symmond's, Snook's, Piper's, Montminy's, Martin's, Larson's, Gagnon's, Campbell's & Campbell's, Cameron's, Yamada's, Schulzke's, and Beasley's. Since there were so many of us, we got permission from our Stake President to hold a Sacrament meeting at our campsite. The ampitheater was a lovely venue- wish we could have church outside more often! After "church" the kids had a coloring contest, made friendship bracelets, and had a scavenger hunt. We also feasted on a delicious triple turkey dinner with all the trimmings (Len helped Kevin deep-fry the turkeys, yum!). In the evening we went down to the lake to watch the neighbors shoot off beautiful fireworks (we also provided a feast for the local mosquitoes- our darn bug spray was worthless, ha ha!).
Showing off our RED.
Six in a swing! The little kids LOVED the Symmond's hammock and sweet Fumiko pushed them literally for hours and hours! Poor Gavin did fall out onto his HEAD at one point, but after shedding a few tears he jumped right back in.
While the kids were in the hammock, Hiram found a yummy flower to munch on.
The campsite is ran by a senior couple of missionaries- Elder & Sister Murphy. When we walked down to the lake in the afternoon, Elder Murphy snapped this pic of us.
Happy Canada Day to my little bi-national family!
