Weekend recap

I just loooove camping.

I got out of work on Thursday and headed straight to Normandy Farms. Ate dinner when I got there - John and the kids had already eaten - then I cleaned up from dinner and relaxed.

Friday turned out to be a craptastic day weather-wise but still a great day. We all had more time to relax. John took the kids swimming in the indoor pool while I cleaned / organized the camper (I am SO Type A when it comes to the camper lol) did the dishes, etc. Then I sat down for a while and read. A book. Yes, quiet time for reading. I actually read two books over the weekend. Didn't watch any tv at all. Just sat and caught up on some reading. BLISS.

Saturday's weather absolutely made up for Friday. It was a gorgeous, perfect pool day. We got up in the am, had breakfast, cleaned up and hit the pool at 10am. We didn't leave until 3pm. John ran back to the camper at lunch time to bring food over so we could just stay at the pool. We took turns going in the water with the kids....it was great. The pool that we prefer was SO much less crowded than the other two which was super nice. I get kind of nervous when the pool is jam packed because I like to keep a close eye on the kids. It's not like I need them attached to me but when there are SO many people trying to swim and so many kids I get anxious.

Saturday night Susan, Rob and "RG" came to NF to join us for dinner. We had fresh veggies with ranch dip, burgers, dogs and spicy fries. We are addicted to the spicy fries from the snack shack. After dinner Susan, "RG" and I stayed at the camper while John, Rob and the kids hit "Casino Night" at the Rec Hall. Susan and Rob left around 9p and I hit the Rec hall for the ending of casino night. We were up waiting for the auctions to end until 11pm. Needless to say it was off to bed after that.

Sunday morning we got up, ate cereal, I washed the dishes and we hit the road. It was super easy to pack up and get going because it was just the five of us. All three kids wanted to ride home with me so John got a nice truck ride home with the dog lol. We got home and then just started doing laundry (have to strip all the bedding from the camper for our next trip) and cleaning the house. A very productive day. Early to bed for the kiddos last night because they were up until at least 10p all weekend long. That's about it. Another great weekend.

We're camping again this week - headed to Canoe River on Thursday and we'll be joined by the Wronski and Studley families. Can't wait!!!
