Labour Day Camp Out

For Labour Day weekend Tim and I headed out to Gull Lake to camp with our amazing friends. Aside from the rain, it was way fun to be outside enjoying good company.
I made a list and tried to be super organized but for those of you who know me, know that this clearly didn't happen. First of all, Tim and I don't own much camping gear so the night prior to leaving we spent the day pillaging the Wright's garage for sleeping bags and wood. We then drove around calgary looking for hot dog roasting sticks and camping chairs. We could only find $50 chairs!! Seriously we were NOT paying that!! The next morning after loading the car and dropping the puppy off at the Wright's we tried again and found sweet connected chairs with an umbrella! We were all business while camping. We then picked up the last of the groceries and ended up in and out of the store 3 times as I forgot plates:)

After finally reaching Gull Lake we went to a corn maze that was wicked and had loads of other fun things to do.
There was an amazing sqash/zucchini/tomato gun! Seriously, so cool. Breanna was the only one to listen to the nice guy helping us to aim the gun and managed to hit the target, aka the bus!

Tim is actually shooting the potato gun.

 

Jordan was a tether ball champ but I plan on having a rematch at some point! There were also animals, pedal carts and a weird jumpy thing.

 

 

We enjoyed the campfire for a night but couldn't handle what felt like constant rain. Fall seemed to sneek up on me as I was grossly unprepared and only brought one pair of pants! It had previously been so sunny and I couldn't believe that change. Sleeping was a bit chilly but I am not complaining as Tim chose to snuggle with me!! (Seriously Tim freaks out if I touch him while he is asleep!)

 

The next day we decided to pack it in and drove to Edmonton to continue the party at Jordan and Julie's. It was fun to sleep, watch movie and eat delicious food. 

We hit up Whyte Ave the next morning and found this....

Outside urinals!!! Seriously, Edmonton?? Real classy. There were toilets but they were just sitting outside. Weird. I guess it is to prevent sketch things from going on in the bathroom.

Thanks for the fun weekend and we look forward to next year just in August or else I will be more prepared with a few extra pairs of pants.

 

ps. we also bought a new car!!! woohoo!! It feels so good to have two good cars that we know won't break down. It was a bit spur of the moment but it was a good deal and we love it. It is a pontiac vibe. Obviously we are filling up at Canadian Tire. Tim is saving up to buy a gun and will gladly take donations! Thanks Heyland's for about $2 in Canadian Tire money. It is harder than you think to save it up!
