LAST WEEKS OF SUMMER

The last few weeks of summer seems to be slipping through our fingers. I am feeling the weight of summers end and have been feeling very tired and emotional the last few nights.

So many fantastic memories have been made this summer.

Some really great ones last week while camping at Fitzroy Provincial Park with the Lougheeds and the Salvages. Truth be told I glamped..... I didn't actually stay the night at the site. After a gorgeous dinner and birthday cake (Ang's birthday cake) I packed up the wee ones wished Steve and Connor a dry nights sleep and drove the 35 minutes home to sleep in our own beds; we were back up the next morning in time for breakfast and to see Connor's big catch of the day, an 8 pound pike fish, he was so excited and so were we.  The Gillespies must have fishing in our blood because we all  caught a few. Dan was very patient with us while he taught us the art of his first love. Thank you Mr. Lougheed! Steve cooked up a delicious Navajo breakfast, a recipe out of our JO USA cookbook. It's was great for camping. We also packed up some enchiladas and wrapped them in tinfoil to heat up over the campfire. A few of our friends at the site had campers and I had some camper envy mostly because it was a very rainy weekend.

Romilly & Euan enjoyed getting muddy while scouring the waterfront for treasures and waving to us in the boat from shore.  They were so good. Too bad my bugs are both getting some heavy teeth in and I thought it was best to take them home. Sharing a tent with them is not my idea of a quiet night in the wilderness.
