Canada Day Long Weekend 2014

Canada Day fell on a Tuesday, so we took off the Monday to make it an extra long, long weekend ;)

Happy Birthday Canada!!

We met friends, John, Jenna and Clint and Chris, Sharla, Ty and Madison at Cross Lake Provincial Park.  The weather was great, except for approx 4 hrs of pounding rain and hail!!  Other than that rain, we had a lot of sun and were grateful for a shaded campsite.  The kids loved playing on the beach, swimming in the lake, tubing, bike riding, playing baseball, bocce ball, water balloon fights and just being free!!  We love the Cross Lake campground and they know their way around and were free to bike to the park and back by themselves.

Reese went for her first tube ride and did great!  Blake and Em spent hours on the tube!!  They have no fear and at one point after a tube ride they both decided to jump in the lake for a swim!  Scared the heck out of me but they were having a blast ;)  Crazy kids!!  They wanted to go faster and faster every time and on the last day Blake was whipped off the tube and thought it was the greatest thing ever!  lol!

Fun on the boat and tubing!!

The boys went fishing and caught a few but threw them all back.

It was another great long weekend and a great way to start off our summer!!  We're now looking forward to our 2 week holiday, starting this weekend!  Three nights at Ol McDonald's farm with my family, then we are by ourselves, spending 2 nights at the Calaway Park campground, 3 nights at Mount Kidd RV Resort and 4 nights at Whistler's Campground near Jasper.  Then we're back home for Blake's power skating camp!

Talk to you when we're back :)
