3...Can this be?

Here's another one...

We went camping last weekend. All weekend, Thursday-Sunday. And didn't have trouble finding a spot to camp in Cultas Lake at all. Know why? IT WAS RAINING...THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME (ok well, except for a few hours the first and second day)! LOL! The sun actually came out for a few hrs when we first arrived which gave us such high hopes that the weather would remain good. But that was shortlived as about 2 hrs after we were finished setting up, the rain started.

We did manage to have fun anyways though. We allowed the boys to take their Nintendo DS Lites and portable DVD player. We also brought up a generator so that powered the DVD player when needed. We have an awesome tent which stayed completely dry inside. YAY! We also put up a tarp so we had a sitting area and we had our easy up tent that went over the picnic table. So despite the horrible rain, we all stayed fairly dry when outside, except George. But that was his own doing, lol!

George was so well behaved during this trip. He never wandered off and if he did it was because somebody was leaving and he wanted to go too. But he was good when told to come back. He also kept busy playing around our site. We brought cars and trucks for him. As well, he discovered the last night we were there, that a bucket is great for playing with in steady streams of water flowing off the tarp! He got soaked that day but happily played for an easy 1.5 hrs!

This was such a great family trip that we've decided we want to go back next year in hopes that it doesn't rain. We originally planned to go to Golden Ears and camp with some friends of ours but at the last minute changed that to just being by ourselves. And in the end, we're pretty glad this time that we did that. Maybe next year...or next year we'll maybe go twice. :O)
