Last Camping Trip of the Season!!


Summer has come to an end, and we sent it out in style!! For a girl who isn't into camping, I had a busy, busy summer doing just that.  Thankfully I did it in our new trailer otherwise it would have been a very different summer.  The last camping trip of the season was a long one, it was busy and it was a lot of fun!

The last camping trip of the summer was with the whole family and Chandler's friend Eli.  Though there was enough room in the trailer for us all to sleep in the trailer, Chandler and Eli set up a tent to stay in.  We got all settled into our campground spot and spent three days awaiting the arrival of the Krawec family.
they whittled boats


Our three days alone the boys did some fishing and we hung out at the campsite playing games and enjoying some great food!! We brought cards and board games to enjoy in the evening.  The boys also enjoyed time around the campfire, Adrian even bought little packets to change the colours of the campfire.



The fishing from the dock was ok, but I'm not sure anyone was really successful. But it was a way to spend the days and kept the boys more unplugged than usual.  Being in a more remote area the cell service was not that great.  If it wasn't for the cell phone booster in Adrian's truck we may not have gotten service at all.

Thursday night the Krawec family arrived for the weekend!! I was so excited to see my bff!! We had some great laughs and some fantastic visits!! It was nice to have a long visit with Estelle, the last few times we've gotten together it's been hard to have a real visit because it's been during big family events and stuff.

We even got Sasha out playing.  She played fetch and went swimming, two things she hasn't done in two years!!! silly dog!!





We played different games with everyone and the kids played some hide and seek in the dark. Those kid games brought back some fond memories and I wish I lived in a more kid friendly area so that Leigham could play those games with the neighbourhood kids as well. The adults played horseshoes, beersbie, sticks and poker.  We also had a game of Settlers of Cataan!!

The only day we had fish at the campfire was the day Scott caught a Jack and Estelle and I "caught" two perch.  I place "caught" in quotations as we told the boys that we caught the fish, but we actually were given the fish by a nice gentleman at the dock.  We did come clean eventually and to be honest the boys didn't ever believe us, but we did try to catch some fish, they just weren't biting for our hooks.

It was a long seven days, but a great seven days!!!



he was making a grumpy face so I did too!! hahaha

someone slept a lot someone else not so much

You can see their Link Up Badge on the right hand side of my blog!!

The first topic is your favourite city, well I've travelled a bit in my life and I've lived in a few different cities, but my favourite still is Lake Tahoe (which technically may not be a city, but it's my favourite place!! So here are the Top Five Reasons I love Lake Tahoe!! 1. It's location What could be better then a community nestled in the mountains with a huge lake at it's centre? But that's not all, it's right on the border of C...

Day in the Life Friday Five

Today is another Friday Five Link Up with the wonderful ladies Mar, Cynthia and Courtney !! Check out their blogs for some great reads!! So happy I found this link up!! It's hard for me to chronicle my days, because at this moment in time they are never exactly the same. Some I send the kids to school and relish in the silence, some Lil man is home and we are constantly on the go doing one activity or another.  Some days are weekends, everyone is home and we've got playdates and sports and activities planned. That being said, there are things I do every day, regardless of what's actually going on, they are routine and they are my favourite parts of everyday. 1) Waking up and checking my phone.  I check my phone for weather, for texts, for emails and sometimes twitter and Instagram.  I love rolling over and checking my phone before I roll out of bed, it's a way to make human connection.  It's dumb, but it's not, I also check my calendar to make sure I...

Water Bottle I have to stay hydrated at the gym, whether I'm in a class, running the track, swimming or playing soccer, I never head to the gym without my water bottle. One time my water bottle broke on the way to the gym, I dropped it on the road, so I stopped at the store to buy some water, because there is no way in the wor...
