last night I had dinner with a trio of special women, two of whom I just met, lol…

I had soup and five mini crab cakes with roasted garlic mayo, apple salad and mixed greens… very tasty… everyone else had scallops…

after a relaxing meal we travelled to the Cirque du Soleil tent on Kenaston to see Amaluna…

it was excellent… I’m always amazed at the flexibility of the performers and what they can make their bodies do… it was also fun to see a performance under the big top, which reminded me again of my first time at Cirque du Soleil in Montreal many years ago;-)…

a wonderful treat…

was thinking about how our camping game has improved…

in August of 2015 we camped in two tents… one for the boys and one for the adults… we also had thick air mattresses and a tarp that covered both of the tents…

there was a humongous thunderstorm during the night and the tarp saved us from being drenched… after it started to rain again in the morning we decided to pack up and go home…

we camped the second night in the basement of the kids new house, lol…

August 2018… for the last ten days we were in this tent trailer… we bought it last year and after the first trip one of the ends broke…

the kids finished making repairs, painting and replacing the floor just before we left… so much more comfortable than the tents, lol…

it reminds me of the camping trips we made when the girls were young as it is very similar to the one we had then;-)…

my beloved would have enjoyed it…

camping, day 3…

weather wasn’t quite so cooperative today… we still had a good time…

woke up to sun at 5:30 but by 10:30 it was raining and it rained hard for a good part of the day…

did some reading in the tent… didn’t get any shots of the rain, too depressing…

we had a picnic there too… all 6 of us did very well together…

our plates were Kleenex… as we sat on the two air mattresses and a couple of chairs we brought into the tent…

here’s the sign to the campground which is beautifully lit up at night…

this was the view around 4:30 when some of our group went to the lake and picked tons of blueberries… sky was nice and blue at that time…

this  was one of the birch trees at our campsite just after 6… beautiful blue sky as we prepped our dinner…

then it clouded over again, and threatened to rain but it didn’t… yay…

here’s a view from the hammock… very popular spot that everyone wants, but few get, lol…

all that blue in the pictures make it hard to believe that it was overcast and rainy for the majority of the day…
