Day 18

Today Deb decided that we were going to go and split wood. Honestly, the pile of wood that we had to split was GINORMOUS! It didn't take us as long as we had thought though. The sizes of the wood varied from only needing to be cut in half to needing to be cut into sixteenths. Ralphie and Pa-pa took the wood to the wood pile using the four-wheeler with a trailer on the back of it. Everyone helped with the splitting. Grandma used the machine, and Alexis, Zoe, and Deb were the ones holding the wood.




After the long day of splitting wood, we were off to do something else!

I bet you don't know what today is! Canada day! Deb and Ralphie's friend Dan threw an amazing Canada day party out at ther house. There were so many games including: hillbilly golf, bocce ball, lawn darts, and horse shoes. Not to mention an amazing spread of food. Deb, Ralphie, Zoe and Alexis were all on a team ready to take on the other challengers at the party. Each team member had to play one of the games listed. Deb played lawn darts, Ralphie played hillbilly golf, Alexis played bocce ball, and Zoe played horse shoes. Deb unfortunately was not able to get the hang of the lawn darts and got kicked out in the first round :( Ralphie made it a little bit further, but lost in the second round of hillbilly golf. Alexis was starting to get the hang of bocce ball, but fell to some feirce competitors in the first round. Zoe, on the other hand, was able to carry the team name with a clean sweep in the horse shoe competition. Overall, it was a blast getting to know and hang out with so many nice people in the area, play some amazing games, and enjoy some great food! Unfortunately we did not bring our cameras to this event, but just take our word for it... It was a blast!
