Here are some pics of the children enjoying the maple toffee and one of them in a trapper's tent set up by the Metis. Jamie particularly enjoyed being shown how to start a fire with flint, a piece of metal and some hemp rope. We stayed for a bit to listen to the music by Coulee, a Metis performance group from Saint-Laurent, Manitoba. I was really hoping to catch this performance, but the children had had enough by then.
What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare? No time to stand beneath the boughs and stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, in broad daylight, streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, and watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can, enrich that smile her eyes began? A poor life this if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare. William Henry Davies
