....guess it's been a while!!
I just realized I haven't blogged all summer! How pathetic is that?? It's not that there hasn't been stuff going on, I just haven't blogged about it. No excuses. Just...haven't...blogged...
I'm sorry!
Well, to catch you up, we went camping in July with Mom & Dad, and Phil & Sarah and the kids. Lots of fun!! We got to try out our "new" tent - not new as such, but new to us. You see, when Mom&Dad got a new trailer, Phil & Sarah took their old trailer. Phil & Sarah then gave us their larger tent in exchange for our smaller tent. It was beautiful! Can't wait to use it again!
The week was great, we camped at Pog Lake in Algonquin Park. One of my favorite spots! We even rented a canoe for the week, which was great. Pog Lake is a great jumping-off point for canoeing, you can go in 2 different directions into a couple of different lakes. Phil&Sarah also rented a canoe, so we were able to go out on a couple of excursions together. I'll post some shots on my photo blog soon for you to see.
One of the best things about the week was being able to hang out with Micaela and Ethan. I don't get to see them nearly enough, so it was great to be able to get to know them a little better. They can be so much fun, especially around a campfire. Ethan was a hoot, using his "spooky" voice to say good night every night. Between that and re-naming a restaurant "The Egg Pooper"... (the restaurant is actually called "The Mad Musher"...not sure where the connection is...)
Earlier this August, we celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. 6 years?!?!?!? Where did the time go???? It only seems like we've been married a couple of years!.... We had a nice day, we drove up to Huntsville via Collingwood...yes, I know, that's just a bit out of the way, but I'd never been up to the Wasaga Beach/Collingwood area, so it was fun to explore. Once we got to Huntsville, we had supper at one of our favorite "casual fine dining" spots, called 3 Guys and a Stove. We even sat out on the deck to eat, and it was really nice!
It's now the Labour Day weekend, and just about every year we've gone camping at Arrowhead Provincial Park. Except for this year. We've stayed home this time, Doug is hoping to get some serious work done on the house, so we can hopefully list it in September. Yah, I know, how many times have I said that?...(don't remind me!)... But seriously, the end is in sight. We've been able to get a lot of work done this year, and it's actually possible. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can actually get it done this time, before the housing market falls any further.
Well, I think that about catches me up for now. For those of you who know about Marked By Love , we're at Eastwood Corps in Windsor next weekend (September 6-7) for their Rally Day Weekend. We're really looking forward to it! Might we see you there?....
