Cold and Wet

Three years and minus 1 dog later, we are out camping again! It definitely was bittersweet for me, our beloved Samantha was not with us but at the same time it was our baby boy's first time camping.

We went camping over Memorial Day weekend, back to our favorite camping spot - Fish Creek Pond Campground. It was not a good weekend for camping at all. It rained on our way up. It rained when we got there. It rained all night Friday night. It rained all day Saturday...you get the idea. It was wet and windy and very cold. It felt like camping in the winter time minus the snow! But we made the most of it while we were there. We stayed inside the camper most of the time but managed to get out to start a fire for cooking Friday night and Saturday night. We packed up and left a day earlier than planned. Oh well...camping in the rain is better than no camping at all, that's the way I see it. We will be doing more camping this year, so, fingers and paws crossed that we will get good weather in July and September.

We just love getting out of the house - regardless of the weather. Hopefully your next camping trip will be drier.

Sam is right, it is still good to have a change of scenery and pace. And your little one will have even more to look forward to on your next trip - this one with sun:)

Hi YD - I'm so sorry you had a rainy camping trip and it was a difficult reminder of how much you miss your Sammie girl. It is so hard to get over the loss of our friends when we share so many happy memories.

I was so happy you stopped by my blog :) I will add you to my reader and keep checking in.

Best wishes for a happy summer!

Thank you so much for your kind words. We know you understand how much it hurts to lose a much loved pet.

We want to thank you so very much for your kind words of comfort and friendship after our very sudden loss of Thunder. We are all still very sad, but the support and love from all of our friends from all over the world is helping to heal our broken hearts. We are sure that Thunder Dunder is now in a very happy place and also very thankful to have so many wonderful friends.
