July Long Weekend ROX!

We headed out to Allen Beach on Friday for the long weekend. We met up with 4 other familes that we camped with last year and added Nicole (Morgan's girlfriend) and Mike and the girls as well this year. There were 12 children (ages 8-12) and 9 adults. We made breakfasts and suppers together and ate better than one ever does at home - thank you Michelle for arranging the food and doing the shopping and meal planning. We spent our time visiting, swimming, suntanning, going to the famous "climbing tree", thanks Morgan for taking the kids row boating, going for walks, and just having a wonderfully fun and relaxing time. With so many kids in such a close age range one would think perhaps we were nuts - it was truly great, they love being together and we made wonderful memories again this year. We couldn't have asked for a better Canada Day Long Weekend. Alberta truly can have great weather! So . . . Michelle, Joe, Ryan, Scott, Ward, Karen, Jessica, Morgan, Nicole, Addy, Bethany, Mike, Meghan, Sydney, Darlene, David and Danielle . . . Colton, Levi, Madison and I will see you at the same time, same place, NEXT YEAR!

Glad you had such a great weekend. It's awesome to spend time with those you care about.

I only went camping with Cameron once! We almost got carried away by the flies, and wasps... and then it rained on us... Considering where I grew up, you would think I was better suited for that stuff right?.... WRONGO.

That was 71/2 years ago...

NEVER AGAIN!!!
