Camping August long weekend

We decided to go camping as a family for the August long weekend just south of Strathmore, AB at the Eagle Lake Campground. Friday was a wonderful day and we took full advantage of the weather. After feeding the animals in the petting zoo we headed into town only to find out the Heritage Day festivities were over already. Back to the campsite we went. The Riders were playing football that afternoon so of course we couldn't stray far from the campsite. Chad got out the chairs and we played with the kids while listening to the game.

Sunday came and we did much of the same. We enjoyed some relaxing time together and vowed to get to the beach the following day. One problem! Over night on Sunday it started to rain and continued into the early afternoon on Monday. It took no time at all to discover our rain gear was in a bucket outside being filled up and that we would have to find ways to enjoy ourselves inside the trailer. I tried to teach Averi how to play Go Fish but she is too young for that still. She would rather play her own version of 52 Pick Up. Chad and I got some much needed RnR and we had a wonderful time as a family. Can't wait to do it all again this weekend with the Nielson Family.
