Well, yesterday morning I made a spur of the moment decision to pull my 31/2 year old out of pre-school and take her camping to Turkey Point.
She's never camped before, so it was a pretty big deal for her. Also, she's never been overnight anywhere without mom around, so I wasn't sure how it would go. Nothing to worry about, everything went fine .
Arrived there around mid-day and set up camp.....she enjoyed that. Being a Thursday we had the place to ourselves which I enjoyed .
Mind you it was so hot it was like setting up in the Gobi desert!
My daughter took this pic
As fast as we could we hit the beach
She also took this pic of me
Roasted some hot dogs, then some marshmallows around the fire
She was so filthy, covered with ketchup, sand, dirt, soot, woodsmoke and miscellaneous goo I had to hose her off when I got home today . It never ceases to amaze me how filthy kids can get .
This picture with the yogourt and grapes is for my wifes benefit. Proof that I fed her healthy food .
(Actually, we pigged out on ice cream, popsicles and cookies, but that's our secret ).
Got her all nice and cosy last night and she slept great. Me?, not so good .
Stopped at Port Dover on the way home this morning and she caught a million little Gobies. Kids that age, a fish is a fish right? She loved it!
Messed around on the beach for a bit and came home
She had a great time (so did I!), and the best part is she can't wait to go camping again .
cheers, Mike
