A couple weeks ago on my birthday weekend, we went camping at Nickle Lake which is a regional park just outside of Weyburn where Shea's parents have a seasonal camping site.
My parents came down with their camper as well (surprising Shea's folks which is an ongoing back and forth contest between them.) On the Saturday, we all drove out to Creelman which is Shea's hometown (“population: 50 if nobody died that day” as my slightly insensitive but oh so true joke. Oops, looking at that Wikipedia entry, the populations's actually 81. My mistake!) for their annual Agricultural Fair.
The Weyburn Review was out taking photos of the day's activities and though Pace didn't make the paper, he (along with the rest of the not-as-cutes in his family) did make their online gallery (see photo 15 for the shot of our crew plus a couple that Shea went to school with and their kids at the parade). There are some other familiar faces in the gallery – Shea's aunt is in photo 21 for example. And my favourite is photo 12 from the infamous “pig scramble” which we almost got Pace to enter but he changed his mind right after going into the pig pen.)
I thought about putting some video I took of the pig scramble on YouTube but I'd hate to be the person responsible for getting it shut down by PETA or whichever animal rights group monitors these things. I did come across this photo on some random photo site which actually looks like Pace's cousin who *did* win $25 in one of the heats!
So if you don't click through to that gallery to see me wearing a very sexy bush jacket, consider this your Saturday Snap of the week…
