To celebrate Mother's Day, Kelly and I took her mother camping. This is something she has wanted to do for some time but, until now, has been unable due to health reasons.Early Friday afternoon, we packed up the trailer and made our way to Canyon RV Park (just 30 minutes from home). Stephanie and Isabelle hitched a ride with us, while Kelly's parents, Don and Marie, made the trip later in the day. Our niece, Alisyn came with Don & Maire. This was Alisyn's first time camping, and I think she had a great time.
Stephanie was really looking forward to the trip, and Isabelle was so excited to "go camping" although she had no clue what camping is. We had great meals, ventured out on long walks, took Isabelle to the playground, went swimming, and Alisyn and I hiked into the burned out areas. Oh yeah, the ladies competed in miniature raft building. The building part was pretty easy, a little bamboo, some dental floss or yarn and they all thought themselves ship builders. The launching of their mini rafts proved to be more challenging. I think three got hungup in the brush, two crashed on the rocks, and two made it safely through the rapids. We ended our last night with some board games under the latern light.
This was such a fun weekend, and so close to home that Kelly's parents could share it with us!
Happy Mother's Day!!!
