Nearing the end

As I sit here in the wee hours contemplating the final days of our Canada vacation, I think back to all the fun activities we've done, and especially all the people we've seen. This past weekend included short trips to Port Elgin (Friday) to see the Dodsons and Hyatts, Purple Valley (Saturday) to see other members of the Coveney side of the family, and Point Clark (Sunday) to see the Schroeder side of the family.

This was also the weekend of the Wiarton Village Fair, which we attended on Saturday afternoon and Monday evening. The girls rode on many midway rides, and they got to ride ponyback as well. I was so happy to see the girls enjoying themselves at the fair since I have fond memories of going to the fair in my childhood.

The get-together in Point Clark with the Schroeders gave the girls a chance to see and play with their cousins Anna, Liam, and Lauren. They played with each other for hours, gave each other presents, and hopefully began a lifelong friendship similar to that which I have enjoyed with my cousins over the years.
