Lazyeeman Lake

Friday we set out on our little journey to Sangudo to do a little camping. Of course I dragged my feet the whole way. I may have grown up in the country, but being in Edmonton these past 8 1/2 years has made me a true City Girl. Don't get me wrong, I love the fresh air and beautiful scenery, but I also love hot water and electricity. Well this City Girl had loads to complain about. We were only in camp for an hour and I had to use the ladies room. What would be our bathroom..AN OUTHOUSE!!! I plugged my nose and went in. Came out of the outhouse and right away got stung by a BEE!!!! Then a storm blew in and flattened the tent and soaked everything. Things sure didn't start off on the right foot.

The kids had a blast. (with the exception of Riley and Bella being sick the whole time.) They were gone the minute our van was turned off. Fishing poles in hand and big smiles. I have never seen the kids so happy. We didn't have to worry about them at all. They played in the paddle boats, caught fish, made tye dyed shirts, played dime toss, and jumped on the trampoline. The skies were beautiful at night. With amazing sunsets and stars you could almost touch. Saturday night we enjoyed wonderful fireworks and Sunday we ended the trip with the most delicious pancake breakfast. We will definitely be going back next year.

Ok now the scary moment we had with Bella. She had been on the trampoline all weekend. Sunday we were packing up the van getting ready to go. She was off jumping on the trampoline. One of the grandkids of the owners of the campsite was driving around the property having fun. He drove the cart into the trampoline. Bella happened to be on it at the time. She went flying into the air and landed first on the bar of the trampoline and then onto the ground. Bailey happened to see it and went running. Dwayne took off after he heard screaming. Bella landed pretty hard and has some bruising on her side. Thank God there was a nurse on hand. It was a pretty scary moment for us and everyone there. Today she is a little sore, but it looks like she is on the mend.

Well that is a condense version of what happened. I do have to admit it was a very enjoyable weekend and I'm looking forward to next year. Just don't tell anyone. I have a reputation to uphold. I'll post pictures later for those of you who are not on Facebook.

A Nice Picture FINALLY!!!!

Storm Watching

The kids watch the storm for about an hour this evening. Bella was freaking out of course. She kept asking Dwayne and I when the storm would be over.

It's Baking Time

For Bella's Birthday, we got her an Easy Bake oven. (What was I thinking) So this afternoon we baked our first cake.

Patiently waiting for the cake to bake. I just realized that I forgot to put a picture of the final product. Opps.

She's 7 Today

Flowers

Just a sample of the flowers Dwayne and the girls planted in the backyard.

Rollerblade Fun

On one of the rare sunny days this Spring, the kids strapped on their blades. Riley seems to have the hang of it. The girls on the other hand still need some practice.
