Camping

Unfortunately our big plans for camping over the summer never worked out. With the weather looking good this past weekend, we decided to head out for a one-night camp at the Ottawa Municipal Campsite, located only 10 minutes from home. This was surprisingly a nice campground with lots of services and unserviced sites, a playground for the kids, and modern washroom facilities.

I took the kids out just after lunch on Sunday and we setup the camp and made supper. As Alana was working we were on our own until we picked her up at 7pm. We had a nice campfire, cool evening for sleeping and then headed home just after lunch on Monday. What a great way to relax before the kids go back to school!

Here is a picture of the kids resting in the shade of the mini-van. We camped in a nice, albeit open "unserved area" that is great for tenting. There were a few shaded sites in this area, but they were taken by the time we got there.


I have placed the rest of the pictures in our Picasa album (click here).

Enjoy!
