This weekend we headed out to go camping. The kids love it and could probably camp all summer long! Unfortunately we farm which means that camping all summer isn't an option but we try to get out as much as we can and head to a different campground each time we go. We arrived midafternoon on Friday so we explored the campground on our bikes, ate supper then drove to the town, which is a few miles away, to explore it too. Of course that means we found the ice cream place and located the mini golf course. The beach looked like it was really nice but it was rather cool and windy so the kids were content to play on the play structure for a while. Saturday morning was rainy so we again hopped into the truck and drove a bit further to a different town to do some shopping. Yup, that means the local bakery and coffee shop were discovered too!! The sun came out later that afternoon but the temperature didn't really warm up so no beaching was done. We did mini golf and biked a lot. We had hoped to bike on some trails but they were all flooded out so our neighbours got to hear the sound of plastic training wheels on pavement quite a bit! On Sunday we met friends at the waterslides and had a great time sliding and floating on the lazy canal. The kids didn't want to come home but I think they were happy to be in their own beds last night anyway!
Rainy camping moments are great for reading.
Ron loves popcorn and while he had been in Princess Auto (the farmer's pleasure store) he found this over-the-fire popcorn maker that he just had to buy.
The kids (and Ron) are eagerly anticipating the goods.
Success! The popcorn was very good, it may become the summer way of making popcorn in our family!
The kids on the lazy canal at the waterpark.
Ron going down the Bonsai! If you didn't slow yourself down you could get some good air on this bump. We saw one guy lose control and flip over onto his stomach in the air. That "stunt" was great fun to watch but apparently not so great to do! He wasn't hurt, just a little sore.
We had a great time and would definitely go camping there again, hopefully we get to the beach next time!
