Katimavik


This weekend we had the pleasure of hosting 12 youth from Katimavik, Tatamagouche. They arrived Friday night. While navigating their way through PEI they had followed a dead end road and bottomed out their van. Not only was the road marked "dead end" it started out paved and turned into mud as it became increasingly narrower. Alan and I went to pull them out with the truck and had no success. The 14 passenger van was packed full of luggage and had sunk all four tires into the mud. The neighbours John Deere got the job done and everyone arrived safely that evening.


It was so nice to have them all here, lots of energy and good times had by all. Andy joined us and was nice enough to perform a few songs on top of a big round bale. Thanks Andy.


Sunday and Monday were long days, spent cleaning up the farm and fixing fencing. Without the help of Katimavik we would be doing these tasks ourselves; well into May. Not only did the farm get cleaned up, we managed to stack 4 cords of wood, introduce Katie to the pasture, enjoy a wagon ride and had some good ol' campfire fun. Thanks Allyson and Crew! We wish everyone much success and hope to see you back some time.
