Before I talk about my weekend, I just want to thank everyone for the overwhelming response I received regarding the new layout. I don’t think any of my older layouts have gotten as much praise as did this one. So for that, I am utterly grateful. It felt that all the hard work I put into it really paid off.

So, during the weekend, my family went camping in Sauble Falls provincial park. My mum actually told me that while she was making reservations online, there was only one unoccupied campsite left in the whole park, which was pretty lucky of us. On Friday morning, everything was packed and put into the van. At first we thought all our stuff wouldn’t fit in the car and that it wouldn’t be able to handle the weight of all our things plus seven humans, but with a little more piling, stuffing and some swearing, we managed it. Let’s just say that my legs were numb throughout the whole three-hour ride and that I couldn’t leave the car without kicking someone’s face or else toppling over boxes of food, clothing and other unnecessary things we packed.

When we finally got to the campsite, we were all, YES! WE GOT HERE WITHOUT KILLING OURSELVES! I think my family can agree that the worst part about any trip is the car ride. Being inside the van was just so humid and claustrophobic, not to mention having to hold up the piles of boxes that could’ve flattened our faces if it wanted to. Anyway, after we set up the tents and everything else, to celebrate we decided to have an early marshmallow roast by the fire! Too bad mum forgot to bring the chocolates and graham crackers…

We were all feeling a bit better after that so we went to the beach to watch the sun go down. My mum kept bugging us to take pictures of her posing cheesily in front of the sunset like she was in a postcard, but I guess I don’t blame her. The view was quite breathtaking.
