Camping? Again? YAY!

The last two weeks have flown by! One minute i was just getting home from camping and the next i'm dying to be out of this polluted, busy, headache-inducing city as fast as i possibly can.
Paul Lake or bust!!
So tomorrow morning, bright and early, i'll be up and ready to go. Only i'll probably have to wait around for Heather to finish packing her bags and then i'll probably be stopped by Dad and made to help lift the boats onto the back of the truck, by which time it will be noon, and then i'll probably remember something important that i've forgotten to pack......oh it could take hours!
And speaking of hours......i'm not really looking forward to the drive up there. mind you, the weather is cooler than usual. and thats good. but still, 4 1/2 hours? minimum?
THIS IS GOING TO BE FREAKIN AWESOME!!!
see you in two weeks!!

Home

So after 7 hours of boring travel i finally arrived home again on Friday night. Why 7 hours? Well for starters, Becs and I were stuck in traffic from Abbotsford to the Port Mann for 3 stinkin hot hours, and then i had to drive all the way through hot traffic infested Vancouver to Kitsilano to drop Becs off at home. That part wasn't so bad, just the traffic was horrible, and then i had to brave the roads of Vancouver AGAIN and drive all the way back to Burnaby, stopping at Lordco for a fuse, to my house.
One highlight: i actually changed the blown fuse in my car and had music for about the last 15 minutes of the drive. so good. i was pretty impressed with my mad skills (thanks to Sam).
Camping was exhausting but really fun. Volleyball every day and Cribbage! The weather was hot and sunny the entire week, i burned my shoulders and got about a million mosquito bites but it was so worth it. Laughing Circle, the lighthouse, the waterfalls, the new dock, swimming, sleeping in the middle of the field, walking, taking stupid pictures, hardcore hemping, the sports and game tournaments, the lack of bees and grasshoppers (and the presence instead of mosquitos), campfires at night, chubby bunnies, killer bunnies, dogs running circles around each other and knocking down stuff (grrr), relaxing and doing nothing, capture the flag, so many awesome memories!!!
And to think, in just 11 days i get to do it all over again at Paul Lake!!
hope to see you there!
