We're back today, sort of, and enjoying Canada Day. For the past few days we've been staying at Brother and Sister Stussi's resort called Qualicum Bay Resort. It was good and the kids enjoyed sleeping in tents. We discovered that the kids tents re indeed waterproof as Meghan threw up in the middle of the night. Every mothers dream whole camping.
And it was HOT!!! I mean, 36 celcius in the tents does tend to make you get out of bed. There's a fantastic swimming hole, more like a man made lake really, and you can take out your boat, inflatable, swim, paddle, splash to your hearts content and it's huge so nobody really bothers anyone else.
There was a pancake breakfast this morning and we all went including the kids in between trips to the park. I swear, as soon as they made friends, we hardly saw them at all except to ask us about food! Lol! I did miss Chris though. It was weird being out without him. He's working for Grandad this weekend at the Mini-Golf.
Steve and I had a nice visit with Hans last night and chatted for ages about how he basically bought a swamp with water rights to his spring and a ramshackle motel, and now it's a lovely resort thanks to a series of lucky breaks but more importantly, 16 years of hard work. It's awesome to see one man's vision come true and that hard work really can pay off.
I've gotta run but more details later about the new self-sufficiency stuff happening in our lives.
