We just go home from visiting my brother’s family in Glencoe. It was my nephew, Charles’, family birthday celebration as well as their local fair. (My neice, Virginia, took two first place ribbons for an old-tool creature and beaded bracelet, We are so proud of her. The creature was really cool.) My nephew’s favourite part of the fair is the Demolition Derby so in honour of his birthday we had to stay for that. I thought it was awesome. At one point a car managed to drive on top of another competitor’s car. Really cool…just goes to prove that I am my brother’s sister. Katrine however was scared to go to sleep tonight because she might dream of the smash-up cars. It seems like it will be a while until we go back to the fair or at least the derby. Sigh! A fun weekend with a freshly tramatized child. What’s a mother to do?
