Back From Vacation...

 ....again, lol!!

I had been hoping to get camping with the kids before school started back up and bright and early Wednesday morning Mike and I were able to make arrangements for him to take the trailer to the local provincial park here and we just got home today. I hadn't told the kids about it ahead of time so they were pleasantly suprised when I told them what we were doing that day! Mike had to work,so wasn't able to come with us but the kids and I had a great time! We roasted marshmallows both nites and even treated ourselves to smores which the kids bugged me to buy. Last nite it was gorgeous out and when the kids were all tucked into bed I sat up by the fire all by myself and listened to some good old Charley Pride and had myself a nice cold beverage!


Our campsite was right under the trees and was huge. The weather, which was supposed to be hot and humid and 29 celsius or higher all three days, wasn't, lol...but we still got some swimming time in. The first morning we went swimming, it was quite windy and the boys took their dinghy with them, and lost it in the water. I was standing on shore watching them swim for it, panicking that they would go too far in their attempts, but to my great relief they finally gave up the battle. It was only a $20 boat anyway and I have never been so relieved to see my boys walking out of the water before!! Phew!!

Yesterday morning, Colin went for a bike ride and didn't know that Colton was following him and he came back without him!! Off the two big boys go on their bikes to look for him and Cody comes back empty handed and then I start to panic and off he goes again. Thank goodness Colton showed up only moments later all by himself, he had known the way back all along! Man my old heart couldn't take much more after the boat incident, lol!!
 
Hannah made herself a new little friend. Bradley and his parents were camping across the road from us and she spent most of one morning there until it was time for us to go swimming. That girl is the most social of us all, even including my hubby and I, lol!! She can make friends no matter where she is!


 
Today we were swimming and it had been cloudy all day and hot and humid and you could hear the thunder at times and just as we were on our way home here the skies opened up and it poured buckets! We got drenched coming into the house and I still need to unload the trailer but I think I'll leave it till after work tomorrow. Hopefully the sun will be shining then.
K, I'm off to play catch up on my e-mails before Six Feet Under comes on at 8.
