School's Out!

Hello sports fans. Well the 'nucks may have lost their bid for the cup but the Lions are already showing their game faces. Our family is ready to 'play' too! 73 nights of summer break is officially here for the girls and on Thursday Scott and I get to join in.
We'll be hitching up the trailer and spending 33 nights 'camping'. I always use that word loosely cuz it's not much like the camping I did as a kid - usually in the backyard with my comics and a flashlight, sleeping cozily in a tent... A good time. The last time I slept in a tent it was alongside the Kootenay River in BC. Scott and I were enjoying our 2nd 100km rafting trip down the river - it took 3 days and good times were had by all. The food was amazing! The tenting time prior to that one was hard to forget... yup, I incubated an ants nest; eggs and all. The person who set up the tent for my cousin and I accidentally (I want to believe that!) placed it on an ant hill. Over the course of the next 3 nights they entered the tent and yes, my sleeping bag. I don't want to think about it anymore. Yuck.
Positive thoughts... back to our July adventure. 6 States, 3 Cities, a few lakeside spots and some a little more unlike the areas we have here in K-Country.
I've asked Scott to ready his laptop so we can attempt to keep the blog up to date on our adventures. Watch for more soon!
Have a great summer!
