Family Camp
We had a lovely weekend away.
Trailerboy was concerned as we drove down to the campsite. We were towing a trailer but NOT the camper trailer. He doesn’t understand the difference between “camp” and “camping”. It was beyond him to understand rooms full of beds instead of sleeping in the camper trailer.
He was very excited to sleep next to one of his buddies. Even more so that they were wearing IDENTICAL pj’s. They looked so cute!!!! And I didn’t take a photo???? *sob*
In fact, I took the camera (and even remembered to recharge the batteries). But didn’t take one. single. photo. 
I had my own little cabin next to the main campsite. Not quite up to a complete weekend of people with no breaks in between yet. Plus I need lots of sleep. Not really conducive to a campsite environment. So it was nice that I could go and be a part of the camp but have my “respite” as required.
Friday night we began the camp with some excitement. The kind a mother can do without. Trailerboy (who is 4) decided to chase a boogie board that was floating out to sea and got out of his depth. He ended up being fine but was most upset about the boogie board so Farmboy went for a swim to try and recover it. Not an easy feat given how quickly the wind was blowing it out to sea.
Saturday was overcast which was great for being on the beach throughout the day. We had a number of canoes as well as a boat with a biscuit (okay, I don’t know if you spell the ski “biscuit” the same way you spell the eating “biscuit).
For those who don’t know what that is, it looks something like this and gets towed behind the boat.
It was a lovely relaxing weekend of being together as families and enjoying the warm weather at the beach. And of course, eating too much food!!!! 
We seemed to avoid too much sunburn other than a few of the kids getting sunburnt right under their eyes (the part where you can’t really put cream).
Coming home wasn’t much fun as it’s about 10 degrees hotter here than where we were staying.
Although it WAS lovely to come home to all the lovely comments and participants in this week’s Smiley Saturday. Thank you everyone!

Wow, sounds like a great weekend. All mothers can definitely do without the sort of excitement that you had on Friday night. Glad it ended up OK.
And how good that you had your own cabin - the best of both worlds.
Hope you’re taking it easy today.
Wonderful you had a great time. The kids sure love those ski tubes, I know ours did LOL
Your own cabin….wow sounds like bliss.

Glad trailer boy is okay - it is scary that disaster can happen so quickly.
Sounds like a great weekend!
