Sunday at the Bee


The lovely weather held for the Sunday show.  Our family arrived on the grounds a little earlier on Sunday as we heard Brian Stout deliver the Sunday Service message at 9am.  We rode the train several more times, visited the children's barn yard, the Tuberg homestead, made a candle, visited the General Store, the harness shop (where we found a receipt my dad had written in 1978) and the country school house.  A spent the entire day with his cousin Ryan as they were working the ice cream stand together.  They worked so well together and it was fun to see their enthusiasm!

Time to say so long to another fun show...I hope it continues on for many years to come and the people who dedicate so many hours are interested in carrying on the traditions/passing the torch.  We left the ground about 4pm and went back to Mountain Lake for BLTs and tearful goodbye.  O really wanted to stay at Grandma and Grandpas--he just had too much fun!

I think it was a long weekend for a 3 year old and everything at the Bee was of high interest to him.  Perhaps the torch can be handed way down to a three year old; we shall see...
