CanAm Week

 It has certainly been a FUN week with all the CanAm tournaments and activities around the park.  I have a few photos to post.  The poker tournament was quite something.  It started at 4:00 in the afternoon when almost 80 American players battled it out to make it to the CanAm competition.  Then the winning 40 played against the ~40 Canadians until they whittled down to the final table.  Through the excitement....Canada won the top spot.  





I thoroughly enjoyed watching the two softball games on Saturday.  I so admire the players who can get out there and hit a ball so far, throw it back from the outfield, AND RUN.  It's a great accomplishment at our ages.  πŸ˜‰


The area high school band marched on to the field for the national anthems and there were plenty of other antics going on during both games.  FUN to watch and cheer.  Canada won the C league and American won the B league.  Congratulations to all.


Closing Ceremony was held Sunday afternoon capping off a GREAT week of fun activity.  There was a great lively band with hot dogs and burgers being available.  LOTS of friendly camaraderie and BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE.  We've had outstanding beautiful weather all week long and it looks like it will continue as well.

Here's a quick look at the crowd.

I was walking across the golf course this afternoon and noticed the fish at the north end of the main lake.  They love to gather there when the canal is running fresh water.  Must be some nice fresh oxygen for them.  It's not the best of photos, but watch for the fish action as you pass by.

We've had a lot of entertainment this season...especially with the addition of the Wednesday night karaoke up at the Bistro.  It always draws a nice crowd.

On my walk around the block, I noticed this cute display at site 1722.  I'm going to guess that the residents are from Canada??

And...of course...no blog entry is complete unless it includes photos of Scooter and Kat.  They actually remind me of the old cartoon strip of Dennis the Menace.  Scooter is, of course, Dennis...while Kat is definitely Mr. Wilson who barely tolerates Dennis as a nuisance.  Occasionally, however, they cuddle up and forgive each other.  😸😺
