last year around this time we went out to Falcon Lake for some camping fun…
I picked up the cutest magnetic screen protectors, shaped like butterflies… I put the three of them on the patio screen door…
recently I caught this picture of an actual butterfly on the screen…
wondered if it was having a visit with its magnet friends, lol…

yesterday my grandson picked me up at work and we drove to the lake to meet up with the rest of the kids…
a lovely drive and time to catch up with the oldest…
when we arrived at the campsite folks were starting to prepare dinner… perogies, garlic sausage, onions, mushrooms, corn on the cob, French beans and yellow wax beans…
and, as they nearly always do, cooked over the fire… takes a while, but was delicious…
not sure if the slightly murky looking skies are due to the wildfires in BC… have noticed that the sun is often behind a haze…
it was entertaining to watch the two men in the group as they had fun chopping wood for the fire…
they are brothers and worked so well together to get the job done, but were clearly enjoying every minute…
family time…

beach, big girl pants, boating, camping, camping day 9, Falcon Lake, family, noise, stargazing, widow
spent a couple of hours stargazing from the comfort of my bed… worst night of our entire trip for noise… people beside us talked loudly until about 2 am and then their baby cried for quite a while after that… to top it off they woke up early and made lots of noise… sounded like they were there for the week so we were very happy to be leaving, lol…
last shot of our lakefront spot…
then we had a busy day… got up, had a quick breakfast, packed up, spent some time on the boat with friends… and then headed to Falcon Lake for our last night of camping… hot day…
set up one tent and went to the beach and met with family and did some boating…
had a little tour around the lakefront and took the boat back out of the water… lovely ride down the canal to get there…
rode back to the site in the boat on the trailer, which was kind of fun… ate our dinner around 10, as it was getting dark, and we are now heading to bed…
well, after a bit more stargazing;-)…
