I actually wanted to blog all our goings-on, but the thought of "Who really cares?!" crossed my mind a number of times. But then I thought "Hey, everybody posts pictures on Instagram. Why can't I post on my blog?!" So let's do some catch up, shall we?
Way back, like a month and a half ago, our long anticipated camping trip arrived. Here in Ontario, if you want to camp in a nice park, with hydro, you need to book months in advance. And so, after booking in March, then waiting 5 months to enjoy it, we couldn't *wait* to set up at the park we chose this year: Bon Echo Provincial Park. We arrived on a Monday and didn't have to go home till 12 days later!
Oh wait - the week before we left, I kind of had a soccer injury, which resulted in a chipped bone, wreaked ligaments etc. So a boot and crutches were needed for a bit, but I do believe Keziah used the stuff more than I did as I found it so cumbersome.
The doctor's orders were to keep my foot up, so camping was the next best thing for me! Nathan would be there for the next two weeks to help me out, so really, the timing was "perfect". Sort of.
Onto an onslaught of pictures from our camping trip.
Trying to catch the above little creature by setting up a trap! It almost worked!!
We LOVE it when people go home and leave behind some wood!!!
Ah, childhood. I love it that they spent hours filling up cups and water bottles with dirty water from puddles. Such simple fun yet they were so content.
My love. My partner. The one that still makes my heart have an irregular heartbeat.
Spending one of the coolest days (16 degrees) hiking and canoeing.
They noticed Nathan and I were pretty tired of canoeing, so they figured they'd take over. I do believe we moved 3 metres in 3 hours. :o)
We hiked up this rock pictured below - the rock that Bon Echo is known for. The kids did very well!!
Learning to ride a bike!! Love Lincoln's face as well as Nathan's thumbs up for his son!
Every camping trip, we have a Story. This time is was my turn to tell it.
Keziah sat there with her finger in her mouth and Lincoln didn't move a muscle. Let me tell you, my story was quite riveting!! :o)
After a wonderful two weeks together as a family, we headed home. The weather going there and coming back home was exactly the same: pouring rain. Thankfully we didn't see that during the two weeks we were camping (during the day anyway).
We love our camping trips. We leave all devices at home (even Nathan!) and enjoy our moments together as a family. We are thankful that we had this time together and pray that we have many more years of making memories on a campsite!
