The end of August was delightfully eventful. We had a 40 years in Canada Fraser reunion for 4 days. 34 of us in total had a blast! Arran did an amazing job of putting together the festivities that included
 |
| A walk in the park turned beach time |
 |
perhaps in part because traffic
getting there and back was awful... |
 |
| Real beach time! |
 |
| A giant hole and cold water swimming |
 |
| Lots of ice cream! |
 |
| An almost midnight movie |
 |
Lots of cousin time
|
 |
Selfie competitions
|
and lots of other fun things: soccer baseball in the fog/rain, swimming, kayaking, aqua fencing, board games, bountiful meals, photo album browsing, fine dining... and even an afternoon Amazing Race!
Mom's dogs stayed with us for the reunion days... they enjoyed exploring a new place - until they met the resident porcupine. Unfortunately, they didn't learn to leave it alone, so their last evening was again spent having quills pulled out :(
 |
| the other dog was quilled worse... |
Double unfortunately, Mom fell victim also ...
She raced out to try keep the dogs from biting the porcupine (and failed)... and in the meantime they chased the porcupine between her legs. As it kept turning to keep its tail and back to the dogs...mom got touched. A painful evening was had by all! Mom bravely (and slowly) pulled them all herself, not being able to bear the thought of anyone else pulling them! Extra strength Tylenol and Solarcaine spray helped. Meanwhile everyone else (Imma, 2 neighbours, Dad, Aiden, Jasmin) worked on the dogs. Oof. What a night!
...We all agree no foster dogs until the porcupine is relocated...
