07/08: We're Going Camping

Posted by: The Agnew Family
It's hard to believe but we're actually taking the trailer and going camping. OK, we only drove a 150km but we did go away and we did take the trailer. Can you tell I'm excited?
Many, many, many years ago, Ed and I would go camping for weekends. We'd go and enjoy the park and we're quite use to all of the kids in the campground. Now, we're retired and in the "getting there group" (with there being old). Our camping for the past ten years has mostly been travel camping with the trailer being a glorified hotel room. So it was a bit of a shock to the old system to pull into a crowded campground full of kids --- mostly happy, but some crying but all in all noisy kids. It didn't take long for us to come the the conclusion that the two year olds created the most entertainment. Elliot was across the road from us and his name was being constantly called --- I think his goal for the weekend was to play with the stones in the middle of the road. Then there was the two year who was camped behind us. He found our trailer to be incredibly fascinating. We were inside the trailer and heard a noise in the cargo bay. Ed went outside to investigate. When he looked into the cargo bay he saw a drinking cup then he saw little hands playing with all the wonderful things in the cargo bay. Over the weekend this little guy played on our trailer steps, with our bicycles on the carrier on the back of the trailer, with the barbecue, with the heat outlet, with Zaph --- you get the picture. Each time the little fellow ventured over dad wasn't far behind, but he was a quick little fellow.
Pinehurst Lake Conservation Area. This is a very large park that encompasses a 23 acre lake. There are several natural areas with trails.
