Camping that Night

After a day of boating, we found our campsite and pitched a tent. I discovered earlier on, J-P had forgot my overnight bag and I was left to my own devices.....a.k.a my bathing suit and cover up. I was about to send J-P to the nearest store when I decided I can make do with over sized men's clothing. Not that J-P is over sized, just that his clothes are for me. I wore his shirt and shorts and I looked like a man with a huge beer gut and long hair. You know how vain I am, I'm not posting any pics. The pregnant ones are bad enough! We roasted dogs, had s'mores and ended the evening with a hot cup of chocolate! As we settled into our bags ,we noticed that the campsite next to us was still running their generator. J-P completely annoyed by the noise, started fussing about how no one was going to get any sleep. I volunteered to go over and ask when they were going to retire it for the night. To our dismay, we found out that they were running it for their father who was on a respirator.....it was going to be on all night long. Just like Lionel Richie's song. We did fall asleep...eventually, but I did hear J-P murmuring in his sleep "How of all the nights we camp." We awoke at 6:10 the next morning to Calvin urgently needing to go potty. This woke the whole contents of the tent up and when we decided that we were all awake for the day, we heard the generator go off! Isn't that just beautiful irony? J-P did complain as we checked out that morning and found out that those campers had told reservations that they were going to plug into the bathrooms that was just right across from them. We also discovered that morning, as we were driving away, that they had a box around their generator shielding the noise from their camp site and sending the noise straight to us! Despite all the little nuisances, we did enjoy ourselves for our one night of camping.

One of the many Canadian geese the boys fed......they were mean, they hissed at us when we ran out of food. They started after Oliver who had only a crumb left in his hand.

Nothing like a cup of hot chocolate to start your morning off right!
