Cousin Weekend 2018

Cousins Weekend Was Filled Sunshine, Drama and Food!

We camped out at Uncle Malcolm’s for the cousins long weekend! Mathew and Emmy joined us from the East coast, along with Terra and the girls(this includes Andrew). The invitation was also extended to our parents this year! Everyone packed up their tents, campers, games, footballs, baseballs, kites, pets, food, booze, kids, sunscreen, swimming trunks, and brought their partners????! Tania set up a Scavenger Hunt! There were water balloons and water gun fights. We picked berries, roasted marshmallows and more.

Not one child went without a dirty face at least once during the weekend. Jennifer got an early morning (afternoon) wake up to Oh Canada and Andrew took the kids on quad rides. People took part in signing on stage at night.

And don’t forget about the farm Jam

April 28- First weekend at the farm

April 28th Kelly’s first weekend at the farm

During the nights I’m still am running 2 heaters and the wind howls fiercely in the night shaking the camper. I’ve taken an interest in the local abandoned scenery.

The first house is located at the top of the hill on the turkey trail, dad had said he had always wanted to go see it. so when the fence was open I (Kelly) and Jeff went exploring (Jeff was not impressed). We went in the house and into the upstairs. The floors did not fall through. Walking back to the truck we found dead cow bones, so of course, I had to take them home.

The second house Jeff didn’t want to stop at, but I still snapped a couple pictures.

The next stop was the old school house. We were too afraid to go in the basement, because of raccoons.

When we got back to the farm I wanted to do something with the cow bones. So I went Mad Max style and made mobiles.
