Each summer my parents put on "Cousin Camp" for the grandkids.
For the past 8 years, they invite all the grandkids age 5+ to spend 4 days on the farm, away from parents, with their cousins.
My mom goes all out making it feel like a genuine summer camp:
-bedrooms turned into cabins
-pledge of allegiance
-arts & crafts
-kitchen duty
-talent show
-music time
-swimming
-campfires
-field trips
-sports
...and the list goes on.
Even the oldest 3 cousins who are 'too cool' to be campers are involved - they're "Junior Counselors"
It culminates with a "program" on Sunday afternoon when parents get to see all the things they did.
Our girls talk about it, and look forward to it, all year long.
And the parents enjoy the weekend respite as well...
Just very thankful for them willing to put in the effort so the cousins can create these memories.
Across generations, Canadians have dedicated their lives to preserve peace. To honour those who have served and continue to serve, we pause for 2 minutes of silence. Make November 11 the most unforgettable day of the year. #CanadaRemembers
Student council at @GAHSBulldogs organized a "hat day" fundraiser last Friday and approximately $1,300 was raised for the Red Cross and its humanitarian efforts in #Ukraine. "Hat Day" was inspired by a similar event at @APSMustangs, with the latter school raising over $1,400.
@Sflecce Schools aren’t safe! Do you know how many staff and students tested positive this week? There were more occasional staff than regular staff!Completely irresponsible.
