Best Canada Day!

A melting pot of ethnicity within our family, 

but no one missed out on the Mennonite part of lunch

There were slide races . . .

 Spitz to be spat,

and sharing of life jackets for rides on water toys . . .

I watched from a distance and noticed how they worked it all out among themselves.

Uncle Bob's kyak gets used more than he knows about.

I wonder where they learned this game? 

Boys were boys . . . checking to see if damp cattails would ignite

and out of the same stuff the girls made bread 

while the big kids . . . rested?

Dinner was hamburgers and salads . . .

they disappeared before I thought to take a picture.

And the day ended with a family sleepover

that will be remembered for a long time to come!
