A couple of weekends ago we did something we hadn't done since we were first married. We went camping. (tenting at that!)
I think there were 9 families (friends, cousins, and some of John's family) that went up to White Lake in the Whiteshell area.
It took us 4 hours to get there! Apparently we took the long way around?? On the way, I realized we'd forgotten all of Jonas' stuff..clothes, pull ups, swimmers. It was sitting in his room at home. So we had along what he was wearing and a pair of swimming trunks that I had put into our bag. We ended up finding pull ups at a store in Falcon Lake, and other than that he borrowed a couple of things from his (older) cousins.
The weather was HOT! Not so great for sleeping in a tent, but perfect for the beach!!
Jonas did a lot of playing in the sand. He preferred that over the water.
These ducks came right to shore!
Here's some of our people..the little guys in the little boat, and the big guys in the big boat behind them.
Just a kilometer or two away was this little place called Rainbow Falls. Everything was stone....there was no sand or dirt on the shore...all stone.
At the campsite...
Our friends John & Susanne.
Jonas learning to play Chess.
And we did a lot of this!!
My favorite part probably..volleyball on the beach.
So I think we're good for another 5 years or so now! Ha!
It was good...being with friends and stuff...but home was SO comfortable afterwards!! I don't think we're really that great at roughing it. ;)
We are off for the weekend again! John and his band are playing at the Chilliwack Bluegrass Festival, and I'm joining them! (on the trip..not on stage!) We fly out tomorrow morning.
Have a great long weekend!!
