Another camping adventure

Relaxing Monday start to the day. Once caffeinated I watered my planters. Then marketing to catch up many days. I filled the salt mineral tub in the far paddock and opened up all paddocks tot he horses. Switch and Timba are doing very well on the recently grass growth. S chatted with Craig and put on the new lawn mower blades.

Tracey L arrived before noon. She and I got a good visit in. S joined us for pizza. She was off at 2:30 as he got started mowing the lawn. I started packing the trailer to go camping. We took a quick run to town to mail my Etsy parcel and grab camping groceries. A fridge clean out was our supper. It was a beautiful evening. Perfect for pulling weeds. S started a fire to burn all the dead trees. He sat round the stinky fire while I uploaded all the concert videos. Hopefully you enjoyed watching them.

Tuesday morning was a crazy sleep in for S. 9:45 we woke. I was up though at 230 for some chips then let H out at 6 then to garage before 7. Coffee and quickly water the garden/planters, pack up all the last minute things. We pulled out at 11. Camp was set up before 1. We had one of the last sites available; C3. It turned out to be a lovely shaded site.

We enjoyed time out on the boat with stouts, Cards games at our site. Harley loved their new pontoon boat. BBQ supper and campfire at Krista’s site. We have yet to see Baby Thea whose schedule is missing us. She was a wee baby last year when we met here camping. Like our little Renn is now.

Wednesday we were woke by fighting birds very early then at 7:30 a nearby site had a construction crew start up an air compressor and they spent the day building a shed!!. Not long after the vacuum truck started up cleaning tanks of trailers beside us!!! WTH. This is crazy for a campground. We had our coffee at the beach.

It was a great camping day with beauty weather. Games, beverages, boating, BBQ and snacks. S caught 2 fish. Sharon, Sheldon and Darren all knee boarded.

Harley helping spot and below as it rained on our ride back in Sharon gave her a towel too xoxo

A sprinkle of rain started at 7 as they were fishing but a huge lightening strike ended that in a flash. Rain came down on our way in and for a bit more. S and I ventured back when it let up to BBQ ribs then played games inside as it rained again. Once it let up we drove over this one time to the campfire. Back at the trailer we watched a bit of FUBAR till S dozed. I was dozy the night before watching.

Thursday was an even hotter day. Today we were woke by wood chopping at 8 followed by weed eating by the staff. WTH are there not quiet rules? I walked H around our loop with my coffee. Only the tenters across from us who were chopping wood were up as 3 workers roared around.

Finally saw Thea at the beach. Harley loved all the pets.

S had a good nap in the shade

Seeing so hot, we took Harley to the dock to get her swimming for the first time.

her swim videos.. I think she liked it but I did have to push her out to S

The afternoon was spent at our campground in the shady trees. Stouts, Lowes and Stan & Mabel enjoyed the shade seeing it hit 33!!

We headed out on the boat before 5 to fish and the fellows knee boarded to cool down. S caught 2 more fish and was the only successful fisher. 

He even caught 1 pike with a hook in its mouth. It got away with his but left the big spoon in the net.

oops he got away! video

Once back we cooked up a delicious steak supper. The skies looked to be getting dark so we drove over to the campfire. It did not last long as the wind picked up so we went inside S&D trailer and played a card game till after 11. On the way home rain started but not allot.

Friday is home day. It was quiet for a change when we woke. And it was heating up fast. We had coffee then took H for a walk. I jumped in the shower quick. Then we loaded H and set off to check out the Bassano dam. On our way home thru town we stopped to get lunch at a food truck.

Back at the campsite we packed up most everything. A quick swim for H and S. Sharon and I visited while they did. Few last packs up. Then we all set off for home at 1. Once home S hit the couch for a nap and I watered planters and the garden. It turns out none of the rain ever hit here. I cut a few white peonies when B arrived just before 4 to drop off Cooper. She is going camping this w/e with friends.

The trailer was unpacked and unhooked. A quick trip to town to buy some gifts, get fuel before price goes up and grab a blizzard. I started a new series called Glamorous after finishing the blog.
