Today we had the privilege of going to Paul’s family reunion.
We spent a wonderful day on his uncle’s acreage. Besides meeting many of Paul’s wonderful relations (including Paul’s 96 year old Grandma), there was plenty to keep us occupied. There was a tractor ride (or drive), cherry spitting contest, “potato gun” shooting (potatoes from a gun), and a splash pool to cool off in, among other things.
They have four horses that captivated the kids. Our Mounties took the horse riding opportunity to show off their skills.
Paul’s cousins organized an “Amazing Race” that required participants in teams of four. It entailed a family trivia quiz, freezie eating contest, shoe toss, 3-legged egg race, plus song writing and performance. The entire time we had to keep our egg with us and ensure that it stayed intact during the activities. I’m not sure which team won, but we all had a lot of fun!
Throughout the day our dinner was cooking on the spit. When all the planned activities were finished, we all enjoyed the pig roast and many other scrumptious treats.
It was nice to be an honourary member of Paul's family for the day.
