And That’s….the Truth

Now that the weekend is finally here, the kids have been looking forward to another camping trip.  But, due to the weather, this is not going to happen.  I personally don’t think it’s a real big deal that we can’t go, but the kids are quite disappointed.  They really do look forward to these trips and usually have a great time when we go on them.  Oh well.  I suppose I can’t hope for sunshine every weekend now can I?  Well we will just have to find something else to do this weekend.  Maybe I could clean my house??  Yeah right!  That’s not going to happen.   But I’m sure we will have a good weekend anyway.

Although the first of the summer wasn’t very good for camping, I have to say that the last couple of weeks have been super.  We were able to get away again this weekend (that’s why there were no posts) and once again we all had a blast.  The kids were able to play at the playground, go down to the fish pond, go swimming and go to the drive in movies.  Not only are we having so much fun because of all the activities the kids get to be involved with while we are away, but also because of the brand new trailer that we purchased.  So we will be all keep our fingers crossed for another great weekend this upcoming weekend.  But if that doesn’t happen that will still be OK as there is still plenty of time left in the summer months to enjoy camping when we can.

So for the past few months all I have been doing is posting about wanting to go camping and going camping. So I thought I would treat you all to a few pictures that we took over the weekend of us camping. As you can tell the kids were having an awesome time and hamming it up for the camera like they always do. And although I was not impressed with having my picture taken, I was happy to be out at the campsite and relaxing. Because hubby was the one taking the photos you can’t see his big grin on his face, but trust me..it was there.

There were be more camping trips this summer so there will be more pictures as well. Hopefully the next batch will have my hubby in them and then you can all see what a wonderful time he was having as well.

We had such an awesome time camping this past weekend. If my husband hadn’t have had to go to work this morning we definitely would have stayed an extra day. The weather for once cooperated with us beautifully and we were able to enjoy all that the campground had to offer. The kids were able to go swimming, play at the park, have a bonfire and see some fireworks. We didn’t go to the drive-in movies like we usually do as they had no kids movies playing. I would have to say it was our best trip ever. And sleeping in the brand new trailer that we bought was just heaven. We were only able to go for one night as my husband had to work Saturday morning, but this weekend we will be going for two nights because it’s his weekend off. Cross your fingers for me guys that the weather treats us good this weekend as well.

Since the weather man is predicting sunshine and temperatures in the range of the high 20’s this weekend, we are finally going to be able to go camping. A couple of weeks ago we bought a pop up camper trailer and haven’t been able to use it because the weather has been too crappy to go camping. But this weekend is different. Tomorrow after my husband gets home from work I will be putting away the Ladybug steam cleaners, packing up the trailer, locking up the house and heading out to the campsite. The kids are so excited that we are finally getting to go that they are already packed! Now all I have to do is get off my butt and pack up the stuff we are going to need.

Today we are going to be able to go on our first camping trip of the season. Finally the weather is going to co-operate with us and it’s suppose to be sunny all weekend. So I probably won’t be online much this weekend as I won’t be able to take my laptop with me. I am planning to take my computer with me on upcoming trips, I just need to get a memory stick for it first. But since I’ve been on the Internet constantly for the past few months, I think the break from my computer may be a good thing. It would be nice to have something to do after the kids go to bed, but I’ll just have to find something else to do with my time.

By this time every week I am usually posting about our upcoming camping trip for this weekend.  Then on Sunday I am usually crabbing because we haven’t been able to go due to the weather.  Well I’m here to report that we now have no plans on going camping this upcoming weekend.  We were going to, but my youngest son kind of messed up that plan.  But in a good way.  One of his best friends at school is having his birthday party this weekend and has invited Daniel to go.  Since this is a boy that Daniel plays with a lot and talks about a lot, we have agreed to let him go.  So for the first time in about a month, I really don’t care what the weather will be like.  But, watch it be nice.  lol

One of my best friend is headed on a three week vacation this summer to France. And although I couldn’t be more thrilled for her that she is able to take part in this wonderful vacation, I am also a little bit jealous as well. What I wouldn’t give to jump into her suitcase and arrive at a destination like Morbihan. This is definitely one of my biggest dreams in life, and mark my words, before my time on earth is finished, I will be headed out to France for my own once in a life time vacation destinations.

There are so many places for a person to go see in France that it would take a person a life time to experience all the experiences that France has to offer. But if it were me going to France instead of her, one area that I would definitely be exploring would be the Orne area. From pictures that I have seen on the television and in newspapers this spot looks so inviting and relaxing.

If I were to go anytime soon though I would probably end up taking my kids with me. If I ended up taking the children, then a definite stopping spot would be in Perigord Pourpre. They have so many activities going on in this area that there is definitely something that the whole family would enjoy.

But until I am able to realize this dream of mine, I’ll just have to be content with looking at the pictures that my friend will take and bring home to us. I really do hope that she has a wonderful time, I just wish I could be going with her.

Well it doesn’t look like we will be headed out to the camp grounds today. If you recall today was suppose to be the day for our first camping trip of the season. But, the weather is pretty crappy outside right now. It’s cold and we are suppose to be getting some rain later on today. Hopefully the weather improves and we will be able to head out tomorrow morning. But as things stand right now, there is no real point in packing up the swimsuits and heading out. It has to warm up a lot before we are going to consider it. But if we can’t go, that will be OK as it is just the start of the season and there will be many more weekends during the summer for us to go camping.

Well a decision has been made.  We have decided to venture out to our favorite camping site this weekend.  The campsites officially open tomorrow and we getting ready to go.  This morning I went to the motor vehicle branch and registered the trailer.  So we are good to go for another year.  On Friday I will head out to the grocery store to purchase all the groceries that we are going to need for the weekend so we will be good to go when my husband gets off work Saturday at noon.  I plan on having the trailer and car packed and ready to go so all he needs to do is take a shower and hop into the car.  The kids are already packed. lol  So hopefully the weather holds up and we will get to enjoy our first camping season of the year.  We going to give it our best try.
