Camping!

Yay, we finally dragged our trailer out of storage and actually camped this year!! (last year we didn’t make it out). I grew up camping literally every single weekend, and then as a teenager went camping with friends all the time…and then got a bit older and started camping with my parents again with my own family. 5 yrs ago we moved to Alberta and it hasn’t been the same. I must admit that the campgrounds close to where I am in pretty much….suck lol. I grew up in Manitoba and I so miss having camprounds WITH a beach and a lake. Even good ol’ Yellowknife had kind of decent places where you could go and still cool off by going for a swim mid-afternoon. I have yet to find a perfect place here so if anyone knows of somewhere (that doesn’t cost a gazillion dollars in fuel to get there!) post a comment cause I’d sure love to know! And NO, Sylvan Lake does not count! That is not my idea of a peaceful weekend of camping

Anyway, the kids loved it and we’ll definitely have to head out again this year. Oh, and in case your wondering, we ended up at Carseland campground, it was nice enough, but still not perfect….oh, and we happened to find the most mosquitos I’ve ever seen in Alberta since moving here, they were horrendous!!!

A little dirt never hurt anyone, man was she filthy! lol And check out those nasty mosquito bites on her arm….even after putting on bug spray a thousand times!

Our Diesely Dog (his name is Diesel). I know, what lovely Canadian chairs we have, this should have been taken for Canada Day, I was only one weekend late hahaha.

This was our own little private clearing right within our campsite….perfect place to play catch!!

Hopefully this inspires all the people that have plans to camp this year to actually get out and do it! We had a wonderful time and realized how much we miss it!!
