Home Again Home Again Jigity Jig, Now Off Again Off Again to Lac La Biche
Barely home… back to work for the week, thankfully an easy one, no customers with “issues” this week, just very friendly people that make it a pleasure to go to work in the morning
Now we are off camping AGAIN, this time to Beaver Lake in Lac La Biche which is 2 hours north eastish of Edmonton. We went to this campground a couple summers ago with the same group of friends, we rent the site for the weekend and we can have as many people there with tents and tent trailers as we like! We also get our own private beach so the kids will love that. My girlfriend is bringing her parents camper van up, because she doens’t want to sleep in the tent, it’s got 2 single beds so I’ll sleep in it with her too and our dh’s and kids can tent it! Dh and I will also be driving her dd’s up with us since the camper van can’t take car seats…. 2 hours there and back with 5 kids 4-13 years old, give me strength…. ![]()
Renos seem to be on hold while we do this, just don’t have time to go pick out flooring and get organized! My house is such a sty from not having time to clean or get unpacked from camping properly lol I need more time in my week!
Oh and we bought a new car this week, well new to us. We had an old Daytona which I hated driving as it was so low to the ground! I am short and it was so hard to see around corners when turning. It also didn’t have shoulder belts in the back seat so it didn’t work to transport kids in booster seats. Dh has a “guy” at work who buy and sells used cars so he went on the lookout for us, we got a gold Corsica, no idea what year.. older, but with shoulder belts for $1300, good deal! It needs a radio, and doesn’t have any power extras but has all new tires and it’s just for me to tool around the city in, big trips we take the van anyway, so I am happy. And my insurance goes down about $300/year because it’s a 4 door sedan, and not a “sports car” like the Daytona, which was a piece of crap…. wasn’t even worth $500, but you know it’s a SPORTS car so I had to pay more insurance… whatever, at least it’s down now!
