Camping in August

It’s been a while since we were camping at Buffalo Pound Provincial Park near Moose Jaw, but I just realized that we haven’t posted any pictures.

We had a great time. The kids handled the drive without complaining and we can’t complain about our campsites. Saturday morning we were happy to still be at the same campsite after the rain/wind storm during the night. K did alot of complaining at the wind and flapping tarps during the storm so she wasn’t the most rested Saturday am, but she was a good trooper. Saturday we went for a short hike and did some off roading up and down the hills. It was a good hike as long as you didn’t step on a cactus.

Sunday morning we went for a bike ride, it is getting to be a bit of a custom for us to ride our bikes down to the shore and then back up and down to the campsite. This bike ride cannot be described as purely enjoyable it is more of a battle between wills and muscles. Apparently we are all stubborn!

The afternoons we spent at the beach; Saturday it felt a bit cool down by the water, but Sunday was very hot and it felt good to cool off. Something clicked for L this time in the water. He trusted his life jacket, let his feet come off the ground and practiced his swimming. Now my boy who hates baths needs to over come his fear of having water on his face. Having so much fun is hard work though.
