It's finally summer

Isn't it exciting?? Mostly!! I'm not a fan of the high heat, I'd rather be indoors in the air conditioning. But it it much better than the "should I put my furnace on in the middle of July" kinda weather. We did get the bench put on the deck. It was pretty easy, and again, my hubby and I worked well together!

We've been camping twice since the beginning of June, only twice, ya. Compared to our 9 times out last year, it's nothing. This past weekend, we decided to do a spontaneous trip to Lake Diefenbaker to see the Gardner Dam, and go to the two Provincial Parks that are on the East side of the lake. We stopped at Danielson, to find they really had nothing we were looking for, which was a place to picnic and a place to swim. Off we drove, south to Douglas. We go there, and they had a HUGE beach and a decent picnic place to roast wieners and have supper. What a day, it was so awesome, I loved every minute of our time away. I wished we didn't have to leave. It was fairly windy, as you can see from the first picture!!

This was such a neat site, I just had to take a picture! Of course, I had to do it, the sand was sooo nice! Emmalee said to me "Mom, this must be the sand they use in hour glasses" It was so fine, and soft!
A picture of my feet in the soft sand!

Look at what the wind did to the sand, beautiful!!I love this picture, my little family!!Breanna, my baby, walking along the shore.
I absolutely LOVE this picture, look at those sun rays!!!

We are hoping to go camping this weekend, we'll see how it goes. I've been keeping busy catching up on laundry, and scrap booking! I have so much stuff, I need to start using it, so I don't feel so bad buying new stuff!! Right? ;)

Yes, you need to use the stuff you have to justify the new purchases. Looks like you have some great photos to work with. We've been wanting to get to Douglas as well, the beach looks great!
