I love a good camping weekend, because I appreciate the great outdoors…. even when the great outdoors consists of stormy weather that pushes our festivities inside. Because I also love the great indoors.

Luckily, the storm passed by morning, and so instead of playing another Go Fish tournament, we spent our Saturday tubing the calm(ish) waters of Lake Arbutus. We were all so brave. And wet. But mostly brave.

Camping is my favorite! We eat good, play hard, and sleep well… except when an angry neighbor pounds on the door to awaken us because our boat’s bilge pump was shooting rain water onto their tent. (Whoopsie doopsies!) Usually we like to make memories instead of enemies, but besides that little snafu, we got what we came there for: quality family time, hosted by nature.
