I’m writting this from Delbert Beazer’s house in Cardston. We came down for the Hill Spring July 1st celebration. We’re staying at Delbert’s house because the Hawthorne’s are staying at Grandma Wolff’s house, and the farm is way too crazy to consider staying there. Besides, Delbert has a beautiful home — maybe he’ll let us stay here in the future.
We arrived last night, in time to put the kids to bed; Matt resisted for at least an hour. We decided not to rush, so we missed the parade, and arrived just in time to see that the program had been interrupted by a 20 minute fire alarm episode. The BBQ beef was excellent as always; Matt Burnham won the Rootbeer contest — personally I thought Eric Gibb had it locked up.
Matt and Gracie ran in races — they both did well. Gracie is getting old enough to understand and be excited to run with all the kids. She did great. They both did great.
After going to Spring Glen Park, Dad, Matt and I got in the van and drove arond Police Lake for a couple of hours. I really enjoy that part of Southern Alberta. I’d love to own some property down there one day.
After Police Lake, we went back to the farm and Timothy and I took the four-wheelers down to the riverbottom. The mosquitos were crazy. The ride didn’t last that long — especially because my quad ran out of gas part way through the trip. We collected the kids and drove back to Cardston for some Pizza’s and Cream — Matt was uncontainable. What a relief to have them in bed.
Tomorrow we go to Waterton. Shoud be fun.
