Packing

We are heading out tomorrow for our first camping trip of the summer! Usually we start our camping season earlier in May, but with family visiting and yard-work projects we are running behind in our playtime.

This weekend are going to camp at Lapie Canyon just outside of Ross River. We haven't camped there yet, but we drove through the sites a few weeks ago and it looks to be a quiet and peaceful spot. Some friends will be popping out to visit and we hope to just sit back, poke at the fire, chase little boys through the woods and eat yummy food over the fire.

Packing though is proving to be a real pain in the arse!! I have rubbermaids totes in the house that I am filling to be taken out to the camper. The boys believe their mission is to take everything out of those totes and to either hide the items or launch them over the stairs. Hunter even filled an entire tote with his stuffed puppies. He is going to be heart-broken when I tell him he can only bring one. Once the camper is loaded for the season it will be much easier. After that I only need to throw some food and clean clothes in and away we go.

Other summer plans with the camper include four days up the North Canol, overnight at Liard Hot Springs, a week at Francis Lake, and exploring around Mayo while Matt works there in August for two weeks. I am sure we will hit a few more spots especially in the fall for hunting season.

I love camping season!
