My version of our Camping Weekend!!

While Shamus did a wonderful job at posting our camping trip, I thought I would show a few more pictures.

We went to Voyageur and had a terrifc time. It was Breagha's first time camping and she did great. She slept very well...even though she wakes up early now...usually around 630am. Yeap. Early. And we went with Ksenija, Dave, and the girls. And with Jim, Annabel, and the kids. So, very busy but lots of fun and the kids all did really well.

So, Jake started Friday off with a few beers. He apparently has a soft spot for Corona, just like his parents!!

The kids were so cute eating their meals. We had little camping chairs for them and they were all so darn cute!

We got a bit of rain on Friday night but it didn't stop anyone from roasting marshmallows! The kids loved the roasting part but they weren't so interested in actually eating the roasted marshmallows. So, I ate alot! I love them. Yummy!!

Saturday we all headed out to do some hiking thru the woods and along the water. It was a bit overcast in the morning which was a nice break from the heat. It's been quite hot lately so the cloudy weather on Saturday was perfect for hiking.

We had to stop so the kids could pick some flowers. It was really cute. That's Shamus hangin' with Helena and Nina (Ksenija's girls).

Breagha and I chillin' while the kids and Belle enjoyed the water. Breagha as usual was laid back. Especially when she's with Mom!

This was soooo cute! Dave started to read to Helena and slowly all the kids started to flock to him and the book. They were all so quiet and hanging off every word Dave said. It was adorable.

Saturday night - got all the kids in bed around 930pm. We were relaxing around the campfire when Belle took off into the woods. She came back within 5 seconds and something came back with her. A not-so-pleasant smell. Yeap, Belle got sprayed by a skunk! Oh, it was bad! The whole campsite was smmmmmelly! So, after some debating, Jim and Darryl drove the 40minutes back to Beaconsfield to get a Skunk Spray....worked really well. Thank God. After the skunk, this raccon kept caming to the site and wouldn't let up. It came right up to the picnic table and was trying to go thru our stuff. We had to "shooo" it off about 4 times! So, Saturday was our "experiencing the wild" night! This was Ksenija's first time camping and I hope this didn't scare her off!!

We went to the beach on Sunday. The hot, sunny weather was back so it was the perfect day for the beach. Too much excitement for Breagha and Jake though! They were sound asleep by the time we got to the beach. It didn't last for long though as there was just too much going on around them!

Darryl and Breagha and Shamus. Breagha is definitely like her big brother....she loves the water too. Her and Shamus will be starting swimming lessons again in September! Shamus is already close to swimming so I'm curious to see how he does.
