The Kids have gone home.

We woke up to rain showers on Friday.   Each morning hubby goes outside to put the percolator on the camp stove and get breakfast started.  Thursday he made French Toast for everyone and Friday he announced that it would be Pancakes and Sausage.  Why is it that food always tastes better when cooked outside?  Before noon we had RAIN and THUNDER – holy moly. Poor cat ran into the cupboard and buried himself under a quilt.  LOL  Was not a very nice day so we mostly stayed inside and played games or did some reading.

Saturday was a nice day again.  Jade got to take her Quad for a ride following her Dad.  Later all the kids went for a ride while hubby and I sat outside an enjoyed reading quietly.  The kids went swimming and Jade was learning to swim without her floaties. 

Jade - on her quad.

This morning after breakfast the kids packed up and were on the road by 11:30.  It was a nice Family Campout and for the most part the weather was good.  The mosquitos are a nuisance but we weren’t bothered too much as the steady breeze seemed to keep them away during the day.  We won't see any of the kids for about 7 weeks so it was nice to share some camping time with them.

We now have 3 days to relax, do laundry and some shopping before heading north again.  It is supposed to rain later today and tomorrow so hopefully we will be back to warm sunny weather again on Tuesday.

  1. Hi Joy & Louis
    Glad you had a good time. I hope the swimming pool was heated!! We had an enjoyable time at the 100th anniversary of the Aldergrove Fair. Pretty keen pistol fast draw shooters - like in the cowboy movies!!

    1. Yes Sandy the pool is heated. They actually have both an indoor pool and an outdoor pool. It was so nice and sunny on Saturday and the pool was very busy.
