Life!!!

Camping life, that is. :)

It was an awesome weekend. My wife works 5 days a week, mostly from 4pm to 10pm, any day of the week including weekends. This was the first weekend in the 3 months she started that job that she did NOT work on Saturday and Sunday. Since my own day job is from Monday to Wednesday, I can do anything I want on Fridays. I called my boss, explained my wife went back to work this afternoon, so I could take today off.

The camping has a little river, no more than 3 feet deep, and that's only for a short part, the rest is mostly 1 foot of less, so a little floating canoe is a very funny ride on it. With campfires at night, marshmallows, hundreds of children running around, it was a perfect family weekend.

My and son Dave got sunburns in the back of our necks, nothing serious, just a bit annoying. We had brought mosquito repellant, and that was useful. There was a thunderstorm last night, but we still were able to do our campfire between rain showers, the rest of the weekend was perfect.
