Camping May Long Weekend

     We have had great weather for the last few weeks, so is it too much to ask for good weather on the long weekend? I guess it is. The May long weekend is known for having crappy weather and this year was no different. BUT, we decided to go camping anyway. We decided to camp at one of our favorite little campgrounds in Fort McCleod called the "Daisy May". The kids love this campground because it has a free outdoor mini-golf, basketball hoop, park, beach volleyball court and an outdoor pool. The Boys love to ride their bikes around the campground. Justin and Jeff decided to camp with us as well. As we were leaving Perm stopped by and we invited him to come as well. So if the weather was going to be bad, at least the company was going to be good.

     We left Friday right after school and got to Fort Mc. in enough time to set up before the rain started to come down. The Kids are funny because they do not even seem to notice the rain or the cold. They still wanted to play outside and had fun riding their bikes in the rain. Tyson is a little hard to handle because he is always on the go and he is into everything. He is good at disappearing if you do not always have your eye on him. I will have him in front of me and I turn around to talk to someone for two seconds and when i turn back around he is gone. So there was a lot of "wheres Tyson?"

     We had a great time just hanging out with each other and joking around. Jimmy was the cook of the camp and everyone was calling him Chef Boyardee. He made a wicked breakfast every morning and was the main cook for the dinners. I am happy that he like to do that, cause I wouldn't want to cook for everyone, but he seems to like it.


     The biggest downfall of the trip was the "Fire Ban". Coming into the weekend the weather had been nice and warm so there was a fire ban in effect. Even after it had rained a couple of days the town would not lift the fire ban. So our nights we finished by gathering around a couple of lanterns. This does not have the same effect while camping.






 





  Jeff and Rae will be celebrating their 20th anniversary soon and so the renewed their vows at the campground.
