May Long Weekend Camping

For many people May Long weekend kicks off the camping season – this year we got a head start – but this weekend we headed out with our friends. We were back at Mount Kidd with 4 trailers, 4 families, 8 adults, 8 kids – 3 of these newborns.

We had a good time in spite of the weather. Saturday afternoon – rain, Sunday morning – rain that turned into snow, Monday morning – lots and lots of snow.

Adam and Brutis - we woke up Saturday morning with a dog that had a very sore leg - barely walking, so Adam took him into a vet in Canmore - nothing broken looks like a sprain - so here are some drugs and keep him off his feet for a few days. Yeah - how do you tell a dog to stay off his feet for a few days especially when you are camping - well - Adam came up with a solution - looks funny - but it worked.

Jazz and Brutis - last May Long Jazz and Brutis were both puppies and the same size - they got along very well and still play great together - this is Brutis' girlfriend.

Me - I am always cold - and this weekend was no exception, you can't see it in the background - but there are kids with no jackets playing in the field - I have on a tank top, sweatshirt, fleese jacket and my winter jacket on - finally warm.

I had Adam snap a few shots before we left Monday morning - the trailer is packed up - but look at the snow.

The Volleyball court - for someone who is always cold, why do I camp this early in the season? Trust me - I would never do this without the furnace.
