Canada Day and rain - what gives?

We headed out on Wednesday for our 3rd annual multi-family camping trip. We decided this year to try a different camp ground, thinking that maybe the rain wouldn't follow us - wrong. The group was smaller this year, especially since the Jimmo kids were sick and they had to bail at the last minute. It ended up being a good size group and the kids got along really well.
We got there on Wednesday and we actually had nice weather and went to the beach for a late afternoon swim. The kids loved it - well Andrew was upset since the little ones were in the hole he was digging. Then it started to rain. Thursday we spent most of the day under the cover, at least it wasn't too cold. The kids still had fun running around in their raincoats and boots and it wasn't until close to noon that we pulled out the DVD player. I know, not really roughing it but I don't care.

Friday was better, we headed over to the playground and it was actually getting warm. Just when we thought it was going to be a nice day, a big cloud comes by and dumps on us again. It still turned out to be an ok day with another trip to the park in the afternoon.


We packed up on Saturday and drove home to sunny Toronto and had a sunny weekend at home drying out and cleaning up all our camping gear.
We still had a fun trip with lots of yummy food including; bacon wrapped trout, pizza stuffed pork chops, grilled veggies, onion rings, roasted hotdogs and brats and s'mores.
