I should have posted this Wednesday or so, but it was a hectic week, so here it is now!!
How was everyone’s Labour Day long weekend?
Mine consisted of my step brothers Football game, a night out with the girls, wedding cake making and delivering, and a night camping on Harrison Lake.
I’ll start with the football game. My step brother plays for the Ridge Meadows Knights and they were taking on the Abbotsford Falcons. Saturday it was scorching hot, but the stands at the Abby field were covered which was nice; although I did come prepared with SPF and a tube top to avoid any weird suntan lines. It wasn’t a high scoring game, but the Knights were down by 5 in the 4th quarter. With only a few minutes left in the quarter they scored a touchdown for 6 points and then kicked a field goal for another 2 points (I know usually it’s 1 for a kick and 2 for a conversion, but in this league it’s the reverse) so that meant the Knights were up by 3, so the Falcons needed a touchdown to win, not just a kick. The falcons had the ball, but the Knights intercepted and kept control for the last few minutes of the game, it was a pretty cool ending! Knights 11 – 8 Falcons!! Aren’t you all impressed with my football knowledge? ;)
I told my friends I was going to pretend I was part of an episode of Friday Night Lights, I absolutely love that show, and I’m so sad it’s over, but anyway beside the point, all joking aside, Friday Night Lights is a pretty good representation of what the football world is like, no word of a lie the Abbotsford Falcons have a Smash Williams on the team, and the Knights have Coach Taylor for a Coach!
Sunday morning I packed for camping and loaded the car with my wedding cake order for the weekend. I walked into Old Orchard Hall and it looked amazing, exactly what I feel the bride envisioned, at least based on what she described to me. I met with the bride a few days before the wedding and she let me in on a little pre midnight snack surprise she had planned for her guests. Can you guess what she had served at the reception? McDonalds hamburgers and cheeseburgers!!!! How brilliant is that?!?!?
I headed straight from the hall to pick up my friend Jessica, she was coming camping with me to Harrison. We met with friends who were already set up at Cogburn Beach on Harrison Lake, let me tell you, if you’re ever taking a trip near Harrison, you must stop in, the lake is incredible!!!
Hope you all enjoyed the long weekend, and this fabulous weather we’ve been having in the lower mainland, September is making up for where July fell short!
