Karoun: I love the brie cheese memories, so sweet! Here's what I remember of the theatrics, I think I was really young because I was watching. Uncle George and a woman (who was only there that time, I don't remember who she was, but I think she was a friend of Mum's not of Uncle George) were sitting under the bastille -- large sticks laid against the tree that's at the corner of the woods closest to the cabin porch, where the flags are raised. They were sharing bits of french bread (that was supposed to be stale). Then all of you guys came running at the bastille yelling and screaming and knocked the sticks down and freed them. I think it was a little scary for me lolll.
Lorig: That's right. We leaned a bunch of big sticks against the tree and then we knocked them down.

I think it was probably one of Uncle George's girlfriends, but I am sure she never came back again after that. LOL
I think we did it a few times. One time I think Uncle George got knocked on the head with one of the large sticks. I remember him being a really good sport about it. I felt really bad. Because I am pretty sure I organized the entire dramatic scene. It is the kind of thing I would have done. :)
Karoun: I don't remember Uncle George getting hit! You probably did direct it. I have vague fond memories of being in your "plays" with the cabin's porch as the stage.
Deron: I recall hanging the French flag next to the American flag. I also recall NOT wanting the Brie cheese.
Nisha: I think Lorig and I liked the Brie but we kept leaving bits of the skin around because we only liked the creamy inside part 😄. Of course, Papa would say “but that’s the best part!” And also tell us not to leave the skin bits on the cheese board 😂. And practicing whatever French we could remember!
Fond memories!
