Fabulous Summer (#3)

The Civic Holiday Weekend is set aside for camping with the Aunts, Uncles and Cousins on my father's side. Although we don't always make it out (because it is held in Cambridge...6 hours for us but 1/2 hour for most of the others) we LOVE it when we are able to make it fit in our summer schedule.

We went up a day early and treated the kids to a day at African Lion Safari, and honestly, FABULOUS is the best word to describe our day. It is such a well laid out park, with lots to see and do, and our children seemed to be just at their targeted ages. They, well, actually, we ALL loved the bus tour through the game reserve, the different animal shows, and especially the splash pad which made a fantastic cool down intermission.

Camping was equally great, with only a few quick showers on Saturday afternoon (it's all about the rain this summer!) The boys made fast friends with their second cousins and spent the entire weekend playing Star Wars in the bush, or riding their bikes down the paths, leaving lots of time for us to sit and chat and catch up with the adults.

Family, Fun, Fellowship....FABULOUS!!!!!

You'll REALLY like the water Daddy! Come on. PLEEEEEEASE!!!!!

Couldn't NOT put in a picture of the Lions!

There were 4 more boys similar in stature already in the bush posing as the Jedi...
