So, as I said in my last post we went camping yesterday at Byng Island.
It was great. We had to stay on a trailer site because there were no more regular sites left so it was really open. But it did mean there were a lot less bugs!
We brought the dog with us. He hates driving and he made it all the way to the conservation park just fine then puked just before we pulled into the site. Poor dog. He loves the outdoors though so he really enjoyed when he finally got out.
After everything was all set up everyone spent time eating munchies or taking it easy. I decided to start reading. I used to read all the time but it has been a long time since i finished a book. Maybe that should be a goal this summer.
We had steak and hot dogs and baked potatoes for dinner mmmmm. Dad brought a little bbq for the steaks, and did the potatoes and hot dogs on the fire. After dinner we went fishing until the sun went down. No one caught anything. Maybe we are doing something wrong? No one caught anything last summer either. It was still fun though.
After fishing we went back and sat around the fire. We made s'mores, played mad libs, visited, relaxed the boys put on a light show in the dark with some glow and the dark sticks my bf bought. it was a good time. We went to bed around 11 but there was still alot going on around the park so he had a hard time falling asleep at first. I have never slept well at a camp. I usually start feeling pretty sick too from the cold and lack of sleep. This time though I curled up in my new warm sleeping bag inside his arms, buried my face in his chest and fell asleep. When I woke up at ten to seven I felt so relaxed. The sun was shining in and there were so many birds singing!
We had breakfast and cleaned up a bit, we then went and did a bit more fishing. I thought I caught something just before we left but it got away. There are so many types of fish in the river I'm surprised no one caught anything. Check out time was noon so we came back and packed up. It had gotten really hot by then so everyone was getting pretty tired.
All in all, the point is, I didn't have a panic attack, I didn't have problems with my stomach, I DID sleep the bathrooms were super clean and we had great weather. I even only have a little bug bite the doesn't really itch. It was a pretty good night.
oo also...little story. My sister, mom and brothers gf and I were walking to the bathroom and just as my sister went to open a door something popped out of a hole in the roof and she ran back outside to us. No one was sure what it was, mom said it was a bird, my sister said it was a bat. No one knew so we just ran into the washroom as fast as we could. When I was leaving I opened the door a touch and saw something peak out of the whole, at first I was startled and closed the door, then I peaked back out. I'm pretty sure it was just a squirrel. It was gone the next time we went to the bathroom.
So anyways!
It all went well.
Also, just to share, I applied for a new job. I love the station but there is no where for me to go there right now, this job would give me so much more responsibility and be much more interesting to me. I will let you know how it goes.
k thanks for reading!
