Happy Wednesday Everyone!
Sadly, today is my last blog post as I fly back to Nova
Scotia for my last year of school this Friday.
It is crazy how fast this summer has gone! You may have noticed that I missed my post
last week because it was Day Camp week last week. It was a very busy, but very fun and
successful week here with the 8 campers that came out. We had presentations on Rug-Hooking from
Stacie Littlejohn, and on the railway that was booming in this area back in the
day, by a wonderful Railway Museum volunteer named Ron. We also had Marg Hulls take us through the
trails and Kim Lundberg teach us about the aboriginals that lived here before
it was settled. We made taffy, clay
bowls and bouncy balls too! The weather
wasn’t the nicest at the beginning of the week, but the sun came out eventually
and though it was cool, the days were perfect for being outside, which the kids
loved. I am definitely glad that I was
able to be involved in Day Camp this year and getting to know the children is
one of the best parts.
Watermelon update: I think it is has gotten a bit longer,
but it has definitely become rounder and when I gave a knock on the side and it
was hollow, so I think it’s ready. So
exciting!
I am really going to miss working here and my awesome fellow
employees! This beautiful place is one
of my favourites, and I plan on visiting in the future and volunteering when I
am back home next year as well. Backus-Page
now has its own piece of my heart J Take care everyone and enjoy what’s left of
your summer.
Catie!
