Princess Kate Flips Pancakes

by Keith

Apparently word of the Great 35RV Pancake Race got to England, as this morning on Good Morning America I saw Princess Kate in a pancake race!

She had just christened  the ship Royal Princess. Then they filled a bit more time by showing clips of her most important outings since she married Prince William. One or two seconds were devoted to her during a pancake race.

Remember the great times we had at them? People lined the streets to view the process, ably announced by Tom,  blow by exciting blow!

Carole (red blouse) and Ron are among the spectators. Both passed away later last year.

Actually, this event was introduced to the park by Pam, who is originally from England and now lives in Canada with her husband, Prince Geoff. It's therefore entirely possible that Princess Kate knew about Pancake Races even before she read the report of them on this blog.

Prince Ron, Concentrating!

We had lots of "Princesses and Princes" at Rockport 35 RV Park. Even those who don't enter the pancake races are royalty! To the right, Pam demonstrates proper form, learned during years of practice internationally. She's flipped in three countries, at least: England, Canada, and USA. Who to better learn from!

Here we see Prince Ron in deep concentration, trying to make certain the pancake ends up in the middle of the pan.

This story proves, if nothing else, that you can never tell when a picture will come in handy! That's why I took quite a few. It's good to look through them and remember the times we had with great people.

In fact, I'm going to put two more pictures here—just because I can!

Enjoy remembering the great times!
