Thank you for all the kind words on T.J.'s Jiggy Jiggy report. I thought I'd add my two cents in. T.J. has been posting reports on the camp for a while now, and no one appreciates his hard work more than me and the kids. So THANK YOU HONEY!!!
I have to say that this last trip was one of the best family vacations up there.
Yes it rained a lot, but that's what rain gear is for, and yes the bugs were bad (I have more bug bites than there are stars in the sky), bug shirt and bug juice came in handy…I guess LOL. But you can't buy the fun and memories that we had on our last trip.
Not only did we laugh and spent quality time together but we actually caught fish!
While T.J. and Avery ventured with the 4-wheeler, Jaden and I stayed at camp alone for the first time. We had a blast…we did arts and crafts, watched a movie, listened and danced to music, fished off the dock and somehow she managed to talk me into a very cold swim in the river.
A few new things that T.J. added for us this trip that makes our lives much easier, the Instant hot water heater from Canadian tire - what a marvelous toy, makes washing dishes a lot easier, and hot showers at night are a welcome.
Here are a few things that T.J. does for us that make our trips awesome….
1 - He does the majority of the work outside so we don't get eaten by bugs
2 - He sets the minnow traps so we have bait
3 - He lights a pic in the outhouse in the morning so we girls are more comfy
4 - He placed a curtain in the tent for privacy when we are changing
5 - He's outside at night filling the buckets with hot water so the kids and I can have a hot shower before bed, he's always the last to have a shower
6 - He's always the guide when we are in the boat with the kids, he let's the kids and I fish while he runs the boat, the only time he'll fish in the boat is when Jaden or Avery are tired of fishing
7 - He always cleans the fish, I refuse to learn how LOL
8 - He always cooks the fish cause he makes the best batter in the world
9 - He's our tech guy, with the tv, projector and anything else that has a remote.
All in all he does a great job to make sure everyone is happy and content.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from our trip……

In conclusion….I hope that everyone that reads this post ends up bringing the family or a loved one out fishing or camping because pictures are only the reflex ion of great memories.
