The weekend before last, my yard was more like a campground than a backyard. Only, we knew all the people there! It was one of the most memorable weekends of my life. My grandparents, cousins, and aunt & uncle were there from Winnipeg, as well as another 2 uncles (with their labradoodles, Sunny and Jemma, for part of it) from Calgary. Truthfully, though, I was most exited about the cousins because of the facts that we don't see them as often and they are closest to my (and my sister's) age. It was awesome, and me, Ella, Tyra, and Marissa did FIVE SEPARATE SHOWS for the adults. The first was The Cousins Club NutMix, a random collection of songs, skits, and synchronized gymnastics. the second was a rerun of the NutMix for the latecomers, the third was an amazing hip-hop routine taught to us by our uncle, Roel , and the fourth was a thank-you routine for Roel. The fifth and best show was a more advanced routine also taught to us by Roel. other activities included painting a camper, making blueberry-pie filling- filled camp irons, beaching,and generally having fun. OK, OK ,here's one of the photos you've all been waiting for.....

UNFORTUNATELY, none of the other pics are uploading properly so this is it for now. I am also going to Manning Park on August 18th for 2 nights so watch for that post coming up soon!
YES Ivy, it was so much fun and we totally enjoyed all the shows. We were so impressed with how all of you got into those dance routines! The camper will never be the same; we love the graffiti. Have fun in Manning Park.
