    Timpooneke Camping

    No Comments

    On Sunday after church we drove the 33 minutes back up to the campground and hung out with our peops again! Joel and Megan made dinner and we just chilled out!

    On Monday morning we had a breakfast of F Toast provided by Kelsey and then we packed up camp. We got to watch 2 moose down in the stream for a morning drink!

    After packing most of our stuff up the camp hosts came to let us know that during the night people wanting to hike to the top of Timp had parked and blocked the road so we wouldn’t be able to leave until they got the cars moved! That gave us time for another game of Rook while the kids did some Parckour in the river and some Sardines hide and go seek. We had tons of fun with Kelsey adn Joel and Megan and the little kiddos.

    We came home exhausted and contented. We cleaned up the camp stuff and chilled out and let Benji and Ben go do soccer practice. While up camping everyone was riding Tiago’s balance bike and Millie caught the biking bug. It took all of my mothering power to get off the couch and help her get a bike out and learn to ride! She took right off!!

    Timpooneke Glamping

    No Comments

    Only glamping because we went up Saturday but we came home and slept in our beds and went to church on Sunday!

    The river ran through the back of the campground so Saturday afternoon we played in the FREEZING cold water and then played some games and chilled with Shannon, Tommi, Kelsey, Shae, Ty, Joel, Megan, Gus, Dag, Mae and Jan and Von.

    We brought dinner for Saturday night. I precooked stuff for Tin Foil Dinners and then let everyone create their own and warm it up on the fire. We also roasted corn on the fire, yum. Megan brought ginormous Mallows that my kids were loving!

    After dinner we had a MOOSE come in our camp! He stood by the tent and ate the tree branches for 20 minutes and then he wandered over to the restroom area and eventually made his way out of camp. It was neat to be that close and watch him. We all jumped under the tables when he started moving towards us. Some of the kids were scared but by the end they thought it was neat.

    We enjoyed a nice campfire and then went home around 10-pm. Ben needed to conduct at church so it was good to get home for that.

    Goodbye Raymond and the Pineapples and being undefeated. Goodbye Pink Panthers and incredibly loooong field that we do not like. Goodbye Cali playing for coach Steve and getting 2nd place in the tournament. Goodbye Benji and Greytness, beating everyone you play.

    Packer didn’t play soccer this year but he took some sweet pics for us. Now we start a new season, new teams, new jerseys, LOTS of the same kids and parents, friends and fun!

    We couldn’t end summer without a trip to Trafalga. The fun part was that we used to do everything except rock climbing and laser tag but now that we are ALL older we mostly did Rock Climbing and Laser Tag! FUN

    We of course went on the frog hopper and fit in a little miniature golf.
