As is to be expected we spent the first long weekend of the summer out camping. It was a rough start since Remy worked all through the night on Friday night and didn't get home until after 11 am on Saturday. We went just South of Kamloops with a couple of friends - Mayumi and Remco, and Jax of course. First of all... haha everyone who stayed in Vancouver for the rain! It was sunny and beautiful, if a little chilly at night. We camped next to a boggy lake (Remco promised us fish for dinner Sunday night!) in a nice quiet and secluded forest.
Mayumi hadn't been camping too much, at least not recently and we're hearing 2 sides to this story... but... Saturday Remco ended up buying a 120 square foot 2 bedroom tent and an air mattress with a folding base. Whether it was princess Mayumi's idea or his own, we had our little 2 man dome tent up and the beds set up and were building a fire by the time they had the frame for the "villa" figured out. It was massive! They also brought mats for the floor so it looked almost like a hotel room. Rem and I had the last laugh after all though since they just couldn't keep the heat in that thing, i was peeling layers off and they were snuggled in toques and mitts :)
The boys tried to catch us some fish Sunday afternoon. Jax got all worried when Remy started paddling away from the shore and started to swim out after him. I thought he'd give up after a minute but I had to call him back when he got half way across the lake. He's a really good camping dog. He always keeps watch over us and accompanies anyone who leaves the main camp for a pee or to get more wood. Maybe he scared the fish though because after hours on the lake the boys came back empty handed and we had to have hot dogs for dinner.
We got back yesterday afternoon and Rem went to work for a bit that afternoon. I cleaned the camping stuff.
Tomorrow I'm going for an ultrasound appointment so I'll post the pic as soon as I can.
