Camping weekend
This past weekend we joined our friends Jenny, Ryan, Owen and Spencer and Shawn at Port Burwell. It is on Lake Erie nearish London.
The kids played wonderfully together. The beach was amazing! S'mores and pie irons were great! And conversation was fun!
Jenny and I were able to enjoy a few drinks and laughter while the guys took responsibility of the kids.
The weekend went really well.
The only thing was that it rained while we were taking down the tents.
It worked out that we were able to go to Brian's cousin Scott and Katrina's wedding shower at Brian's uncle Toms house right from camping.
I finally was able to try out their zipline three times! It is so AWESOME!
They have it set up to go right off their deck! So much fun!
It was so good to catch up with Brian's mom here too as she just got back from a trip to Europe the day before. She looked so happy!
Monday I took the kids to the AJax Fire Department and they LOVED it! It was a program put on by the OEYC. I did this with Hadley when she was young. Hadley enjoyed the experience again but it was clear that Easton absolutely loved being in the fire trucks. They each got a hat to take home too.
Then we spent the day at the park.
After these three days, today was the day to just spend time at home. Good timing on such a super hot day. I turned on the AC, and tried to clean up from camping. :)
(I finally set up the tent today ~ two days later, on what I think is the hottest day of the summer. 36 Celsius with a humid-ex of 45 or so ~ to let it out dry out.)
Then after getting the kids to bed I learned that it was suppose to rain tonight so I went out and took the tent down in the dark.
Sometime soon I hope to catch up on my sleep. :)
