Mark's Week Off Part 3

My last part of the series. On Thursday to Friday, Mark took Drew camping to Rolley Lake. Just the two of them. We packed up my parent's camper van and then in the afternoon, they were off. My cousin, Lance dropped in that morning. He was here for a vehicle drop-off/pick-up and maintenance run. He is a tow truck driver. The repair took much longer than anticipated so he got to come with us. It was great to catch up. A bunch of us joined Mark and Drew for supper at the camp site - Steve, Lance, Mom, Ethan, Sophia, Myself and later on, Dad.

Sophia, Ethan and I had to leave after supper so as not to disrupt their night schedule too much. Didn't really want a replay of Monday night, especially that I was going to be by myself. So you'll have to ask Mark for the stories and details!

Although just before we left Mark, Steve and Drew were on their way to take the canoe out. (Borrowed from Tina and Frank. Thanks guys!) Drew tripped and fell. Hardly hurt at all, but Drew is in this band-aid phase. He seemed all right at the time, but apparently whined/cried a lot of the way to the beach (on ground and in the canoe) because he needed a band-aid and they didn't have one in the canoe, surprise, surprise! Luckily they met up with Mom at the beach, who did have a band-aid in her van. Dad talked it over with Drew and then things were okay again. Let's just say the canoe ride back was a lot better. The rest of their camping trip was pretty good. As good as it can be with a three year old, namely Drew. Apparently it took awhile to get to sleep, including finding out how all the windows worked and three visits to the outhouse, after bedtime. All in all, they'd do it again. Drew even said a couple days ago that he'd like to go camping with Daddy again. So that's a good sign! Maybe next year the twins and I can go too! We'll see. . . : )



(Drew's latest thing is turning away from the camera when we want to take a picture!! Nuts, this one could have been so great!)
