8/24 A day of Rest

Total Mileage today: O

Today we were blessed with a day of rest from riding. We were able to sleep in until 8:00am. We attended a local church and then waited for the arrival of my parents with Keerstyn and Hailey. The arrived about 12:30 with big smiles. We showed them around camp and the different equipment. We also showed them the school hallways lined with bicycles. We then had the opportunity to go our for lunch. We went to Port Dalhousie for a nice meal and time to reconnect. We then headed off to the rally at Queenston Park. We were greeted with rain, which caused everyone to get under the cover and mingle. The rain then cleared and we had a great time of worship and praise. A nice send off for the next week. We then headed back to the school with the family. We said our goodbyes, and reminded them that we would see them in a week in New Jersey.
As for the girls, they are faring well. Grandma has put them to work and they are happy to be earing money. They have had several outings and lots of fun. Specifically they enjoyed the time with the Astifan's who brought them to SeaBreeze amusement park. This rekindled the times that I enjoyed going there in my youth.
Tomorrow we cross back over to the US and into NY state. Looking very much forward to crossing the Rainbow Bridge by the Falls.
More pictures to come.
