It's been a few years since we've been camping at Slave Lake and it was really nice to be back.
We went camping for 4 days and even thought it was a LOT of work for me and Jess, we all had a lot of fun. The weather wasn't super hot and was pretty windy most of the time but it could have been worse. There were barely any mosquitoes and it only rained on us once.
One day at the beach, Shae and Connor decided to build a teepee out of driftwood. They worked together for a long time and their finished product was VERY impressive.
Once they were done, all four kids played in it and pretended they were shipwrecked on an island and they had to build a shelter before a hurricane blew in.
Naptime at the beach!
One day at the beach, Maira's gum fell out of her mouth and the wind blew it right into her hair so here she is getting a couple inches chopped off her ends to get rid of the gum.
Minnow catching was an ever popular pass time.
My favourite thing to do was to sit at the beach and enjoy the sound of the surf and the sound of my children playing nicely together, while I knitted or read.
We discovered that our eating tent was missing a few pieces when we went to set up camp so Jess rigged up this lovely tarp shelter for us to keep us warm and dry while we ate our meals.
Every evening, we gathered around the campfire for stories, songs, and marshmallow treats.
We really had a lovely time, and can't wait to go back!
