Halfway Lake

Hello everyone, we are back from a 10 day camping trip to Halfway Lake. It is our fourth year going to this Provincial Park and our longest camping trip ever. We stayed in our favourite campsite, site 162.

The weather was so so this year as we had a couple of days of rain. It was quite cold on most nights with the mercury dipping to single digits many times. I spent quite a bit of time reading Game of Thrones and then Clash of Kings.  I'm hoping to watch the first two seasons on video this winter with Alex.


We were joined by my brother Rhéal, his wife Mélanie and their two daughters, Eve-Marie and Arianne. Jasmine and Adrien spent most of their time with their cousins biking around the paths, on the beach and in the park. Julianne spent most of her time in our campsite with us as she was a little too young to be with her older siblings and cousins.  She was homesick about halfway through the trip, she wanted to see Jacynthe. Louise took her to the park a few times to change her spirits. Next year we might bring her a little friend.

This year we took part in a few park activities with the kids. For those who know me well know how much I like snakes but I touched one for the first time in my life. Next step is putting one around my neck. I am working hard at overcoming my fear of snakes.

Louise, Jasmine and Adrien took part in a nature walk before leaving yesterday. We got home at around four and opened up our camper in our yard. It looks like this will be our last camping trip for Summer 2014. We'll probably camp out in the yard with Adrien and Jasmine for the remainder of the summer.

With one week left in our holidays we are looking at one last adventure. Looks like we are heading over to Wonderland sometime next week. Then it's back to reality as I start work back up on August 18th.
