Having next to no data left on my cell phone plan in the last billing cycle, I wasn’t able to share any pictures during our last camping weekend. So, here I am, showing you all the pictures I have! The weekend was frigid, but we still had a ton of fun! I love it there. We all do. I hope you enjoy our photo dump!
Our first day there, I unpacked, and Brady worked on a few more little fixes. Because there’s likely always going to be something to tweak and adjust š
That evening, we all walked down to the water and took pictures. It was SO pretty.
I don’t know which one I like best so you’re getting them all!
It was super cold and wet. We brought the kids jackets and splash pants, toques and mitts, etc. Wavy wore one of Dekker’s old coats and man, it was SO cute!
Everything was thoroughly soaked after our first day outside, and it wasn’t enough close to being warm enough to dry. We really need to get an outdoor drying rack or system next season, lol!
The rain did nice things for Wavy’s little mullet though!
Solomon is SUCH a Brady, but he was channeling his inner Uncle Simon this weekend. Hanging out in his shorts in the cold, lol!
Brady premade a baked oatmeal and we reheated it on the barbecue. SO delicious!
The pizza buns weren’t bad either!
The kids love to help with camping life. They bring wood, fill the water jug, take out garbage, etc. Its cute.
When Carrie and her family showed up for a day, they invited us to join them on a challenge course in the bush. They know their way around significantly better than we do, and it was such a treat for us to be shown around by such good friends. Carrie and her husband, Braden, have this beautiful knack for including our kids in their family, even though ours are more cautious than theirs. They don’t hold back with our kids, even when ours get worked up or upset. They love our children, and we love theirs. They’re an amazing family.
It was SO beautiful out, despite the temperature.
We got the go ahead to clear a few little trees out of our site, and I got some Christmas vibes, lol!
My mom came for a day!! Woohoo!!! She had such a riot with the kids, and they LOVED having her there.
We did lots of walking and lots of playing.
Our last full day there was just so cold and so smoky, and Wavy struggled SO hard. She finally calmed when I rocked her like a baby. I didn’t mind that one bit š
I was pretty in my element. We all were. I am so grateful for this opportunity we’ve been given to have a true home away from home. God knew what we needed. He always does.
