Head Tale

We spent the weekend in Weyburn getting our seasonal site ready which is why I didn’t post for the past few days.

Here’s a few memorable moments from the weekend…

Highlight: Sasha blurts out “This is the best day of my life!” as I push her on the swings.  Then, the next day, she says the same thing again.
Lowlight: Sasha’s claims the top bunk from her brother (who usually sleeps in a tent anyhow though we didn’t get it set-up this cool weekend) but manages to fall out of the top bunk, land on the ground unharmed *and* still remain sleeping when Shea rushes to her side! (And she still doesn’t hold the family record as Pace has managed to fall out of bunk beds in campers twice in his life – once in Shea’s parent’s motorhome and once in our rPod as well!)

Highlight: Pace ends up climbing every tree he can find.
Lowlight: He tries to swing down from where he’s climbed but grabs a dead branch that promptly goes “snap”.  As with Sasha’s tumble, he luckily walks away unharmed.

Highlight: Shea’s dad brings out a new outdoor cupboard he made us to fit on top of the other one he already had with shelves, electrical outlets and a built-in fridge.  This new unit is possibly even cooler with places to hold your Dixie Cups, shelves that slide out, a paper towel holder and more.
Lowlight: After nearly killing myself on the ramp he built last year, I wouldn’t be surprised if I find a way to injure myself on his latest project! 😉

Highlight: Get to have Mother’s Day Brunch with Shea and her mom in Weyburn then Mother’s Day Supper with Shea and my mom in Indian Head.
Lowlight: The road between Weyburn and Indian Head is like going on a free fair ride, taking vehicles up and down and sideways!

Highlight: Beautiful weather for most of today!
Lowlight: It’s rainy and cold on Friday night (in fact, we just manage to get our camper into our site before it starts coming down) and Saturday is cool and windy.

Highlight: We picked our camper up from a compound in Weyburn where it spent the winter and I was nervous it might have mice in it.  Luckily, none!
Lowlight: We did get some mice into our shed at the campsite though the only damage they caused was gnawing into a couple Dollar Store Canada Flags I hadn’t been able to fit into a sealed tub.

Highlight: Asking the compound owner if we got a half-price deal since our camper is half the size of every other camper in his lot.
Lowlight: His quick-witted response that we could have a discount if he could stack our camper on top of another one! 🙂

Highlight: Shea and I run into Weyburn for a few errands on Saturday afternoon.
Lowlight: As we’re starting up our bar for the summer from scratch, our booze bill is higher than our grocery bill!

So we’re off to a good start and as long as I manage to keep all my limbs intact this year, it should be a great summer!
