Nearly packed for the next trip.



Well we are off again on Monday so i had hubby help me put the trailer tent up the other day. I am sure i could do it myself but for the fact our back garden is sloped so it makes it hard to reach the top to zip the sides up, also i have height issues lol. I have to say i love the fact we have electric lift for the roof means that Lewis who is only 6 can do that all hubby does it watch the guide wire and tell him when to slow down, then we get the up a bit stop a bit etc til it’s perfect.

I also love the fact that when we searched we decided to get one that has a full length storage locker at the front it adds another 2 feet of inside space too so in that extra space we have an L shaped seating area and a coffee table with storage under brilliant.

This time the pull ups are packed i am not forgetting them again, setting the alarm to wake up at 2am then 6am just in case was hard work. At home Holly goes without and is mostly dry, well in the past 3 weeks we have had one accident so i think we are getting the hang of it. Also have to pack clothes and cool box of food. We take a huge cool box that can keep ice frozen for 5 days, and a smaller one that we just put bits in that then becomes the picnic hamper. Oh and need to buy some coolers too I dont drink much but i do love a nice cool alcoholic drink of an evening when camping :)

I just bought one of those ice cream maker ball thingy’s today they are on offer at Canadian tire, i only hope its as good fun as it looks.

The hard thing about this camping trip is we havent decided when we are coming home, we are booked in for 4 nights 2 at spruce grove campsite in Fairmont and 2 at a campsite in Wasa lake then we shall see if we do another night or 2 or not. So I have packed dog food in little baggies to last til Sat as i figure with hubby back to work on Mon we will want to be back for Sat evening.

Well i shall try and write before we go but who knows, its stampede on sunday yippee

    I saw those Ice Cream Ball thingies in the Canadian Tire Flyer this morning! I’ve been watching the flyers for neat camping stuff. I agree with the cool bevies while camping, I know I’ll be enjoying one or two as well! I hope you guys have a great week, I’d love to see some pics! ;)
