New website coming!

We are working diligently to get the new Stanley's site up and running before Christmas. It should be easier to navigate and show more vivid pictures. Check back soon to see it's launch.

Christmas Train

This is a unique event in our little town of Vermilion Bay. Since the Canadian Pacific Railroad travels right by our town on it's route across Canada, the CPR's Christmas train made a stop this year. This fully decorated train complete with stage and several bands stops at cities and towns across Canada and entertains the folks while soliciting donations for the local food banks. The larger towns will get the full stage show, whereas our little town got a couple of songs sung from the balcony of the last car. It was a nice community event with many families out to brave the cold weather to see the performers and Santa of course.

Setting up for Christmas

The whole family went out for our annual Christmas tree hunt on Saturday. We have to pack hot chocolate and cookies and watch Dad try to wrestle a frozen pine tree from the forest. Of course the kids never consider how easy it is to get a tree from the woods, up to the road, and in the back of the truck. It was fun as usual, but quite a bit chilly.
