Independence Day, in Canada eh?

Kristi and I got quite a few strange looks from people when we told them our Fourth of July plans. Camping in Canada! Over the long Holiday weekend, we spent 2 nights camping on Lake Huron at 'The Pinery' near Grand Bend, Ontario. Mark Banks (Canadian Camper Extraordinaire) hooked us all up with a secluded camping site that had a private path to the beach! Games were played (which the Americans dominated), jokes were told (but do they call me Angus the road builder?), some INCREDIBLE camp food was consumed, and a great time was had by all. The traveling with an Indian across the border and getting our car searched twice was even worth it. Although we had a great time in Canada, it was a relief to us all to get our freedom back at the border on Sunday.

We got to see some old friends and make some new ones. Here is the whole crew together on the top of the sand dune at the beach!





Also, to answer many of your questions about how I (Josh) am doing after this past week, the answer is I am doing alright. Though I am sad to see MJ go, his music will live on. The walls he broke down in this country and in the world during his career were incredible, and I wish that I could have been born two decades earlier to witness his entire career. I hope that other artists follow his example of writing songs like 'Heal the World', 'We are the World', and 'Man in the Mirror'.
