Soon we will be piling into our new-to-us 5th wheel and heading to another beautiful area of BC, to camp and play soccer. My hubby will be manning the campsite with the two littles, while I huff and sweat around a soccer field for the weekend. It is usually 35 degrees at this time of year there- dry heat that I am not used to, so this will be something! I was going to be in prime shape for this, but I am still packing my 15 extra pounds, and have my eye allergy/infection back. Instead of being the sleek, speedy red head, I will be the sweaty, wild haired, red faced, panting, four eyed creature sputtering around the pitch. Actually, I am looking forward to it- our team is going up with the attitude of having fun, so we should get a few laughs and some exercise to boot. My oldest two will be dropped off by my ex to join us- it will be so nice to all be together again!

I am off to soccer practice and then to the store to stock up on camping dishes and marshmallows! Ta ta!

Have a safe and fun trip! My four are nearly 6, 4, 2, and 4 mo. so we haven't gotten to the camping stage of life yet. I long for a little more flexibility to leave home. Enjoy your fun family time!

I so miss camping.
We did this all the time when I was growing up.
Since we have been married we have not gotten to do this often enough.
Now we have a camper and we don't really have time.
But I love camping with a tent.
Cooking over the camp stove and not worrying about what I looked like.
So go ahead--be a wild woman. Enjoy!

Have a great time! I can't even fathom 35 degrees at this time of year! Oh well, heat helps to burn the fluff better...LOL!

Have a fantastic time! The heat wave seems to be stretching clear across the country. For the past week the temps have been in the 40's and 50's, with the humidex!!

And please, for the sake of others, don't be the Maniacal Double Tow-er I posted about the other day!
