Camping: It Totally Rocked

Not sure if I’ve made it clear, but all in all, camping rocked. We drank. We slept. We went for long walks… And on the drive home we found THE ONE AND ONLY NON-DISGUSTING OUTHOUSE in all of British Columbia THANK GOD oh my GOD I thought I was going to DIE if I had [...]

Camping: My Yogi

While we were camping I decided that I wanted to take the opportunity to get a little meditation back into my life. That’s right: Meditation. Some version of the following is what generally runs through my head when I “meditate”: Ooooooomm… Ooooommmm….. ommmmmm… Om-I forgot to iron my pants for today…. ahem… ok- ooommm… You [...]

Camping: Connoisseur Only Different

Ok. So I would definitely recommend this wine- it’s organic, it’s Chilean… it’s all good. I also like it’s name: Cono Sur. Like “connoisseur” only different and easier to spell. Get it? I did, which might have been part of the reason I bought the bottle in the first place. But the real reason I [...]

Camping: Mickey Crashing Out II

Apparently all my dog does is sleep. Here is Mickey Crashing Out I. One of my Little 2nd Cousins: Is Mickey sleeping again? Me: Yup. Little Cuz: Mickey sleeps alot. Me: You guys chase him around a lot. Little Cuz: Does Mickey want to play right now? Me: I don’t think so. If you liked [...]

Camping: Cruisin’

At one point my uncle took my mom, dad, aunt and I on a Boat Ride. Capital “B” capital “R” because boat rides are Wicked. Boat rides are the kind of thing that makes you feel like you’re cruisin’, and the only things cooler than cruisin’ are the following: being a black belt in some [...]

Camping: Tin Foiled Goodness

See that tinfoil in the background behind the fire pit? So did Mickey. Actually, he smelled it before he saw it and he was compelled by a force not unlike The Force to investigate. At which point he was scolded to within an inch of his life. And so now he is doing the dog [...]

Camping: Kayloo & the Thong

Camping was HOT. Holy-Crap hot. Speedos-Aren’t-A-Good-Idea-Unless-You’re-Michael-Phelps, hot. Thong-Bikini-Bottoms-Are-NEVER-A-Good-Idea-Oh-My-God-That-Image-Will-Be-Burned-Into-My-Retinas-Forever, hot. And I forgot my bathing suit. You know, this should not surprise me. The last TWO work trips I went on I forgot my glasses, which is a serious problem considering my contacts dry up like potato chips and I am blind enough to run into [...]

Camping: Mickey Crashing Out I

I think this photo very nicely captures our camping experience. It was lazy. It was sunny. And sometimes after all the water and hotdogs and laughing and sunscreen the only thing to do was crash out on the floor. I love summer. Stay tuned for more “Mickey Crashing Out” pics… If you liked this post [...]

Camping: Darn Near Perfect

Our 8 hour drive ended up being closer to 11 because we stopped 50 billion times to let the dogs out/eat/humour Shauna and let her get close ups such as this one. If you look closely at this photo you’ll see a dew drop and a wee little ant on this darn near perfect wild [...]

Camping: Flushing Toilets ROCK

We went for a long weekend camping trip last week. Camping is wicked. I’m NOT talking about roughin’ it in the wild with only a loin cloth, gun and strip of burlap to get us through. No, no. I’m talking about a cabin, running water, electricity and a cushy bed to cuddle into after a [...]
