The Great Canadian Adventure - Uncle Phil's Cabin

After the wedding, we joined a caravan headed off into the woods. In America, we have "Uncle Tom's Cabin." In Canada, there's "Uncle Phil's Cabin!"

We were literally off the grid!

But Wow!  What a cabin! We were quite impressed!
Here's the upstairs. They sure do love to read. This cabin has electricity and water and heat too. A huge upgrade for our bushman uncle.

and they have beans drying on the ceiling for added ambiance or a late night snack.

There was plenty of room for everyone who stayed. Here's where the Vandy's camped out.

There was something neat to see around every corner.

Uncle Phil's Tobacco crop hung in the basement.

No risk of vampires!

The best part about being at Uncle Phil's (besides the fantastic company) was the food. Everything was made from their garden. Here's the carrot wedding cake.

B was pretty sure there was hidden treasure in here. One more thing about Canadians that I learned... they sure do like my little brother! Aunty Charlotte's step-dad got right down to business helping him find the booty.

And this lady... She quickly became B's best friend. She didn't speak much English, but she had the BEST smile and energy. B loved her so much!

He taught her Blue's Clue's songs and she didn't mind doing them over and over and over and over and over again with him.

Then he demanded to go to bed so Aunty Charlotte snuggled up with a story for him. Thanks so much for bringing these amazing new people into our lives Uncle Phil!
