Ramblings of our weekend.
Being the camping nuts that we are, and that the forecast showed sunny days and a nice enough days, albeit a little chilly at nights so we decided to brave the chilly nights and bring extra blankets and off we went.
We have been to this camp ground once before but it was busy and a lot of people, being a provincial camp ground we were not allowed to let Maple off lead so it wasn't a huge success the first time. What a difference this weekend was compared to the first time we went. There were only a hand full of people in the whole park, the warden/sheriff in town didn't hound us to put Mapes on lead, and because we didn't have any neighbors it was very peaceful. Our site was on the river so at night we could hear the water (and want to go pee every hour on the hour) and very relaxing. It was awesome! It was too bad that I forgot my camera, there was some definite kodak moments. The river where we were was very shallow it only went up to our ankles/mid calves so Joël got on his gun boots, grabbed a chair, went out into the middle of the river onto the flat rocks and parked himself. Maple was in heaven because she found a stick and kept giving it to Daddy to throw, it was funny because when the water splashed in her face she would wince, sneeze and shake it off.
Yes it was very cold during the night, my nose was cold. I don't know how many people can sleep with their nose being cold, but I can't. So I put my sleeping bag over my face and voila problem solved.
Sunday my parents came up for a fire cooked meal for Mother's day! Yummy!! Chicken over the fire with baked potato's over the fire, it was great! Earlier during the day J and I went for a hike, the trail starts with a beautiful water fall, it is only a 2klm hike, so J calls it a "Patti hike". I whooped some behind in backgammon, I think we played like 10 games and I won 9 of them. J made up for it when we played two person Euchre.
Sens are really on a hot streak! They won the last two games against Buffalo, only two more wins to go. Then they play either Detroit or Anaheim for the Stanley Cup. This is all very exciting!!!!!!
There is a rumor out there for the cut off date this month, I don't want to jinx it so I won't say anything yet. Just know that it makes me a very happy person right now if this comes true.

Hello and Happy belated Mother's Day.
I hope next year you have a babe to celebrate it with.
I'm glad you stopped by our page. It is always nice to hear from new people esp. people that are about to embark on a trip to China.
I can just relive our Gotcha Day thru their eyes ...
Take care,
Andrea

I can't sleep with a cold nose, either! Yuck! Or cold feet. Or cold anything. And your weekend sounds lovely! (Except for the camping part....) LOL! I'm not a big camper, but I like to do day hikes and picnics and stuff.
