Weekend

Was supposed to go camping Friday night but that ended up not working out. I then decided to make the most of the weekend so I just pretended we were on holidays. Out the door before 9AM Saturday and dropped Linda off at the Cancer Relay Stadium by our place. Me and the 2 kids headed to White Pine Beach about 15 minutes away from home and since we were there so early we got our pick of spots and overtook a large area for us to play in. The weather was fabulous and hot and spent a bunch of time in the water and making sand castles. The place was packed by the time we were ready to leave 4 hours later. We then headed to Camp Howdy where Carter is going to this summer. Really nice people and camp area. I hope the weather is good for him. Big field to play in, canoeing, crafts, games, archery, rock climbing. Fun stuff for a 7 year old.

We then headed to the stadium where Linda is spending 14 hours of her Saturday raising money for cancer. She’s doing this for my late Aunt Sally and some of our friends parents who have passed or have cancer now. Her team was great and raised over $12,000 – 11 of them !! The event raised over $750,000. Thanks to all who donated to Linda’s fund raising.

Sunday was another hot day – biked around with Carter and ate DQ Blizzards and then popcorn at the theatre watching the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It was good – almost 3 hours. I wouldn’t run to see it again – kind of confusing but good big screen movie. Not as good as the first 2 though. We’re Pirates, Disney and Johnny Depp fans though.

The rain is back this week – sigh
