Ah.....May Long. That is all I have ever called it - like saying May long weekend is too much for me (well, maybe as a teenager it was)! Anyway, for this glorious weekend, we ventured out on our maiden CAMPING voyage!
We heard that the place we were going received several inches of snow, but that didn't deter US! So, late Friday afternoon, after spending pretty much the whole day getting ready, we headed out. When we got closer, we were able to see that there was some random patches of snow, but nothing serious. At the park, it was very similar - a couple of piles in the shadows. BUT, the SUN was out and it wasn't freezing and that was all that mattered! We set up camp and made supper - which took FOREVER! I think we ended up eating at 8pm! Of course, we couldn't go to bed right after supper - our friends had arrived (oh yah, of course we went with our buddies, the Mays). I think the kids might have been asleep by 11pm - oops!
Saturday was a fabulous day. Lots of biking, walking, mini golfing and even some YUMMY ice cream! I love ice cream and if there is ice cream some where - I am definitely the first in line!
Saturday night, the raosting of marshmallows was on and it seems that I became quite proficient at it! Yep, all my little dudes wanted a mallow roasted by yours truly!
Sunday, we headed back in to town to go to church (and get CLEAN too - in more ways than one). Then, we invited grama, grampa and some other friends to come and spend the evening with us. It was a lot of fun! It's too bad that it was so windy though! We ate outside and I think our supper was cold within the first minute or so!
Monday morning we awoke to a HUGE amount of fog! The boys thought it was pretty neat. I thought it was SUPER COLD! We had a yummy breakfast (INDOORS) and then packed up and went home.
We love love love camping and hope to go many more times this year.
On another note, there has been a new development on the job front - details to follow!

I love camping but I am afaid of the cold so I have yet to go the long weekend in May....we are in Alberta. Sounds like you had a great time. I did get to roast a marshmellow on Saturday though does that count? I am glad to hear that something may be coming down the line in the job area! Let us know.
It was our tradition to camp every long weekend for years, up until last year. So, now we've missed 2 in a row. But I'm not super sad about it. I'm an old lady who gets cold easily LOL. Anyway, I'm glad you were able to get away and have some fun.
I hope the job prospect works out!
That camping trip sounds so fun!! We have got to get a camper one of these years. OUr boys would love outings like that! Your such a fun Momma of boys! I am so glad that things are looking good on the job front! I will keep you in my prayers! Love you guys!
