In early August Pim and Mary-Ann had 16 children and 5 adults
out from the Didsbury Summer Fun Camp.
I had a great time trying to get some handouts from the children
- it was such fun !
While
they were here, they dug potatoes and as I was trying to get
in between them to snag a little spud for myself I heard that
only one of them had known how pototoes grew - I was shocked
!
Later
on they were picking saskatoons - mmm I love those saskatoon
berries. I snuck in with the kids and tryed to keep low as I
ate those juicy sweet berries.
Pim
toured the children around and told them stories about the different
flowers and vegetables and he also told him my favorite story
about when the queen passed by The Blooming Fields on a train.
She put her head out of the window looking at the beautiful
views of The Blooming Fields (and of course the most perfect
rooster she had ever seen) when suddenly her crown blew off
!
In the passing years the gold has worn away but the crown is
still sitting where it landed - on top of a post ! 
The children had
a picnic then after lunch they had fun making bannock and roasting
it over a campfire. They wound up their day making freezer jam
- oh what a fun day I had running after the children and getting
good snacks to eat all day!
until next time.
