The Buzz Queen

The girls and I spent the last 3 or 4 days camping in the rain, so we had ample time to ponder all sorts of important issues.
We pondered such things as the best acne treatments, why the longest scrabble word we could come up with was ‘robin’ and how we could possibly blow dry our […]

Not often mind you, but every now and then I get lucky.

This was Kristanna’s first time knee-boarding in years. It took a few times to get up, but once she did she looked like a pro!

Next was Dad’s turn! (Would you buy car parts from a guy with a face like that? […]

… unless it keeps raining of course!
The weather at the lake has been beautiful all week, but started to change today so I decided it was a good day to come home and do some laundry. I checked the weather report and it doesn’t look good for the next few days, so we shall […]

We were talking out at the lake the other day about all the neat things you can cook around a campfire. One of the ladies mentioned these individual cakes which you bake in a hollowed out orange. I’d never heard of that one, so I looked it up, and found this recipe:
Cake in […]

One of my girlfriends won a party cruise a while ago and booked it for this past Saturday. There were eight of us Moms, who all left our kids on the beach at the campground, and we didn’t come back for six hours! It was so much fun.

At first we went up the […]

We’re back from the lake for a day or so to re-group, re-stock and most importantly, have a good bath!
Mikayla has been away at camp for six days, so Kristanna was more than happy to have the old (and now fixed) SeaDoo all to herself!

Mattie’s cot bed arrived a few weeks ago, but he has […]

The Mountie and the girls have already headed out to the lake with the travel trailer. Mattie & I will be joining them when they have camp all set up as soon as I get some very important last minute stuff done around here.
Actually I’m waiting for my rice to cool, so I […]

We had great weather for camping this weekend - the sun was shining and it was toasty warm! We picked a lakeside spot this time which was great.

The water was like glass! (Still freezing cold though!)
Mattie did really well again. I bought another fence so we can almost fence off our entire […]

One of Mikayla’s friends came out to the lake with us and brought a big pack of glow sticks with her. They were the bracelet size, and instead of using them as bracelets, they left them straight and taped them on to their clothes.

These pictures don’t do it justice, but it gives you a […]

We are heading out to the lake camping tonight after the Grad ceremonies are over. The Mountie is all dressed up in his red serge escorting the grads. I left after they all came out (there’s just over 30 in this grad class) one by one with their parents. I love seeing […]
