A Few Camping Highlights

I briefly thought of backdating a bunch of photo posts, one for every day of our recent camping holiday but realised that’d be a lot of work (not to mention more evidence of my self-diagnosed OCD regarding my “must post daily” goal.)

Anyhow, I thought I’d post just a few highlights in a single post instead.

Went on a trail ride at Kenosee Lake…

Shea’s parents celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary during our holiday by joining us on the trail ride and then a relaxing day at Kenosee Beach (well, as relaxing as you can be in a place that recently had a confirmed Covid diagnosis!)

My parents surprised me by visiting for my birthday weekend (dad broke his foot about a month ago kaboshing their plans to bring their own camper but meaning we got to test just how many people could sleep in our new camper!) 🙂

I’m not sure what I’ll call it but if I ever release an Americana album, this will be the cover image (luckily my father-in-law brought out his log splitter one day so I didn’t have to risk losing a toe using any of these implements!)…

The lesser known “BBT” sandwich – Bannock, Bacon and Tomato – one of numerous amazing meals we had during our trip including a seafood boil, steak, fish tacos, bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin, fresh-made hash browns and of course, endless hotdogs!

Enjoying a beautiful hot day on the boat…

Having a birthday in mid-July means I often get to celebrate it while we’re camping…

I’m biased but I think my kids are pretty darn cute!

Pace has come out of his shell a bit.  I’m not sure he’d ever let his sister and two friends do his hair any other year!

Pace’s love of parkour and “flippy shit” has never changed though!

I was fascinated by this guy and his homemade DIY fishing boat.  It even had a remote control so he could leave it idling on the water while he got his truck to load it then bring it right up on a trailer!

No doubt camping is a very “white” activity so very happy to see the increasing diversity in our campground and doubly so since we’re in the heart of Saskatchewan’s conservative oil patch where I think they issue “Fuck Trudeau” bumper stickers right at the dealership!  We saw people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds during our holiday including a group of Filipinos who entertained a group of lucky passerbys by flying a large remote controlled airplane over the boat launch at sunset one evening…
