Awesome weekend with family and friends

 We had a fabulous weekend.  Rana, Mark & Bailey came on Friday night. 

This is our civic holiday weekend in Gambo.  There's tons for everyone to do.  
Since logging is a major part of our heritage in these parts, logger's competitions are a big component of the festivities.  There are events such as axe-throwing, log sawing and log rolling.  There was a Logger's Breakfast, outdoor dances, kid's activities and a great parade.  
The finale is a fireworks show on Monday night, that seems to get bigger and better every year. 

The weather has been wicked hot, so on Saturday we went to the beach.  Bailey had her first swim......pretty cute...






Another highlight from this weekend was a visit from my great-niece, Sophie.  She sure 
enjoyed our berry bushes....




She loves to make a grand production of smelling the flowers....
 

One of life's greatest simple pleasures has to be playing hide and seek with a small child...........

or "peek-a-boo"........


Giggles from a playing child are contagious.....
 

Getting tired now, though......


Cheers everyone!
