well, the excitement carried on last night… as we were getting ready for bed we almost walked into the kitchen tent where a skunk had taken up residence… we hadn’t taken out the garbage;-)…

it had started raining at 3 pm yesterday afternoon and it didn’t stop until 7:30 this morning… soggy…

I was a bit tentative about going into the tent to make tea when I got up,lol… happily it was gone… I spent the next half hour cleaning up the garbage that was strewn all over…

when everyone else got up we had a lovely breakfast and packed our snack bag before heading down to the boat launch…

we prepped our minnows ahead of time… apparently they should be dried out with salt…

we took a friend of the boys’ and had a great time…

only caught two fish but lots of fun was had… at the end we were fishing from the front of the boat and swimming from the back, lol…

once back at our site, everyone played a game on one of their phones;-)… very unusual as the normal pattern is for everyone to play on their own device…

fun to watch…

supper and a campfire and then early to bed as there were no naps today…

camping, day 4…

busy day today…

didn’t get up till 7… big sleep-in for me…

then we had pancakes with freshly picked blueberries and bacon… make a bacon sandwich with mine, thanks to my son-in-law’s suggestion;-)…


saw this cute little mushroom which popped up overnight…


then, as the sky clouded over, everyone helped with the packing up and there wasn’t a single hissy fit…

we had a leisurely drive toward our next destination and stopped at Rainbow Falls… pretty, and likely beautiful in the sunshine… wasn’t any when we were there, the wind was blowing, and there was a bit of spitting…


back into the caravan and we moved on… found the campground and our spot… happily no one was in it so we could unload and put up the tents… 


the site is right on the water, without electricity, and the wind was crazy strong… took four of us to get the cover on one of the tents, lol… upside, there haven’t been any mosquitoes… we have a second spot across the road which does have electricity so we can charge  the various technology, and also heat water for tea and coffee in the morning, lol…


all set up, required groceries and drinks purchased, and we sat and had a lovely quiet time reading… bliss… 


sun was shining, screens and doors were open, and the kids went for a walk…

only downside, no showers or Internet… but the boys have found a spot that we can walk to and connect…
