Labour Day Weekend

This is how we do things in Red Lake:

One of my favorite parts about living here is how socializing is so laid back.  Once or twice a summer a location is chosen and a big general invitation goes out.  People show up with their campers or tents and set up for the weekend or just for the day.  There's lots of sitting around the fire, beach time and campfire cooking.  The big kids play all day long, perfectly entertained, and the little kids get dirty.
This campsite was about an hour out of town, way out in the bush.  It's crown land (government land), like most of the bush around us, so it's free for the using.

Yes, that gourmet food Lydia is eating is a plain ol' hot dog.  Mmm...

This is Lydia's best buddy, her 3rd cousin, Tirzah.  I am unsure as to the reason Lydia thought it would be helpful to feed Tirzah her mac and cheese.  We found Lydia feeding Tirzah another time or two over the weekend as well.
