Well, I had to eventually, didn't I?
The autumn just rolled over me like a wave. I admit that I did have a bit of a hard time getting my head around "regular life" again but here I am. (As momma Nadyne would expect).
We did our Thanksgiving camping from Oct 8-13 out at Cultus Lake Privincial Park-Maple Bay. Such a great place with the added advantage that there are also cabins available to rent for part of our family that doesn't have a RV. We do our "big" dinner on the Saturday of the weekend. We have been at this particular park for 6 years. We have actually done our Thanksgivig camping since 2016. Jasper mentioned that he has never had a Thanksgiving at home. He is 10 years old. I guess that makes it our 10th year!!
Weather started out lovely.
Our lovely little trailer "Rusty" (not cuz he's rusty though!)

Last of my little friends
We love this big field behind us.
Great spot for the kids, big and little, to hang out.
Unfortunately, this weather was short lived.
Parade permit almost needed for a group this big!
Our annual "Stuffing Splash" is a highlight. Whoever is brave enough is welcome to join us! It was a small but mighty group this year. Surprisingly, the water was not as bad as one would think for this time of year.
After this it was time for the really favourite part of Thanksgiving and that's the EATNG part! Unfortunately, this is when the rain started. I mean really started. I can't remember it pouring quite this much while we were prepping and eating dinner. This is only a very small portion of the trenches that had to be dug. Thanks Josh.

A hungry Holden!

You know these two scalliwags...
All in all, another successful Thanksgiving camping weekend. We always have fun, no matter what the weather.
A few weeks later we made our last trek of the year to the Kootenays to visit Teagan and Rudy. One always has to have one eye on the weather through several mountain passes. Looks good so far...
The "famous" foot shot!
And 4 days later, the beginning of "winter" on the way home.
So, now we are pretty much caught up. Sorry for my absence. I'm sure some of you will forgive and forget!
Hope this find everyone well. Take care.
Peace out friends!
Thought for the Day: People who enjoy salt and vinegar chips are a sturdier breed, more prepared for life's challenges.
