Annual Family Camping Trip....

Day 1:
The first day it was sunny when we left but rainy in New Brunswick. It felt like a really long trip....and I guess it was (4-5 hours). When we got there it was not raining long enough for us to set up. As the family is, everyone was there to help set up the tent. It was kind of fummy having a tent because the whole family camp sites were grouped together in one area and they all had these:

Day 2:

When we woke up there was lots of rain on the ground because it rained ALL NIGHT---SIGH!!!! But, I got some nice pictures of raindrops on the nature. The guys went golfing after breakfast as it was a tiny bit suuny so my Aunt Trudy and I had the adventure of driving into Miramichi. I never dribe anywhere, let alone in a different province!!!!! It was nice having Trudy...she watched the road signs and never swore once,LOL!!!!
Everynight the family takes turns having the campfire. This night it was at Nanny and Perki's site and they were having mussels and clams (GROSS)!!!! It had been mentioned that fabric softener sheets would keep mosquitos away so we tried it. I wanted of a pic on Nanny cause she had it sticking out of her hat but when you'd aim the camera she moved qiocker than I expected and removed it. I caught just theis one of it!

Day 3: It rained and we went to Moncton with Eric and Trudy. No pics for this day!!

Last day:
Uncle Kevin had showed up during the week and he used a Tent. He flooded as Trent and I had. He was using a pot to scoop up the water from the tent. His luck had run out, not only did that happen but the bottom of his case of beer made the box soggy so when he was moving it...it dropped and lost about 6 of his beer. Now, the Perkins men love their beer so there was some mourning happening by Kevin, Perki, Trent etc... while picking up all the broken glass. Then Kevin moved his tent to a drier area but didn't peg down the tent yet, the wind caught it and it started cartwheeling away...boy can Kevin run when he wants to. That happened so fast I couldn't get a pic :( but it was soooo funny!

Miscellanous:

Baby Adrian arrived the night before we left. He is very sweet and well tempered! The squirrel became part of the family while we were there. Trudy could even pet the little thing and it would come up to all of us to get nuts all day.
