Mr. Mom:
Linda is off to London for 10 days and it’s just me and the 2 kids. What to do what to do ?? I know, let’s take them camping !! Dropped Linda off at the airport Friday night and drove for 5 hours to Lytton area to find my buddy Dave. Well being dark, it sure was tough finding my way around and I drove right by the site on a gravel road and kept going for 15km. Asked some locals where the sites were and then backtracked to the site. Still couldn’t find Dave after searching for a bit. About to leave as Dave is no where to be found and found another site and yahoo, Dave was there.
Dave also brought his 2 girls. 2 dads and 4 kids camping in the bush. Are we crazy ??
Dave has a brand new tent trailer and it’s awesome. We stayed up til 3AM and all slept in the trailer. It was great.
We had a great weekend, spent 3 nights there and the kids had a blast as well as Dave and I. Eating, kids biking, drinking, eating, boating, fishing, drinking, eating. That’s about it.
I’m still sore though from hurting myself. The kids were about a hundred yards from us and one of them started screaming hysterically and it was a blood curdling scream. I started to think the worst and ran down the gravel road in my flip flops as fast as I could. Not a good idea. Don’t try this at home. I tripped and came tumbling down on my hand on the gravel and then that gave way to my elbow on the gravel and then my left shoulder hit and I just tucked and did a somersault. It was quite brilliant looking. Looked like I knew what I was doing. A witness commented that I sure knew how to take a fall well. I bounced back on my feet after my somersault in one fluid motion and kept running towards them.
When I got there, the kids were safe and sound. It turns out the screaming was due to a grasshopper. Relieved that the kids were fine, I could focus on me. Hands all cuts up and bloody and bad road rash and blood on my elbow. My shoulder is still in pain today. Sigh.
Got home and unpacked everything into the living room and proceeded to mess the house up in an out of control fashion. No Linda for an hour and the house is a wreck. I’m such a guy. Washed up everyone and did 2 loads of laundry. Never done a load of laundry before. How sad is that ? I’m so spoiled.
Dropped the kids off at daycare Tuesday morning. Haley would have none of that. She was so sad and clung to me non stop. Everytime a helper would come over she would cry. It was so sad, I wanted to just bring her home and not go to work. Finally I had to let her go and walk away and a few minutes later, she was fine and ended up having a great time. Carter was easy as usual and just wanted to play.
