Camping

The sun is out,

and seems to have made 

up his mind to stay the whole day.

We plan on BBQing tonight

and watching the Canucks game.

This afternoon I opened

the door to the patio.

Time to get it ready to use!

I put out the chairs,

set up a little corner

for our charcoal grill.

It made me excited to

sit out there drinking 

Iced SWEETENED tea

(none of this American iced tea.)

and read a good book,

just enjoying the sunshine.

I also went through

our camping gear 

and made lists

(one of my favourite things to do!)

of what we have,

and some things we need to get.

All this sunshine and thoughts of summer

made me want to get out there

and use our camping gear this weekend! 

Try out our new extra roomy tent,

and eat hot dogs cooked on a fire.

We are going in 17 days for 2 nights,

but I can HARDLY wait that long! 

What are your favourite summer activities?

where we will be camping in a couple weeks.
