Camping in Goderich!

So I’m finally getting a spare moment to write a little bit about our WONDERFUL camping weekend. To start things off I have to say that John did an excellent job of packing up all the stuff and coolers while I was at work Friday morning. When I got home we were ready to go and hit the road by !2:30. It took us about 4 hours with one strop to get to Goderich. We stopped at this awesome bakery called Zehrs Country Bakery/Deli. It’s owned by Mennonites and the pepperonis, sticky buns and jams are all great! When we got to our campsite James was ready to stretch his legs so we walked down to the park while John set up camp. James was on excitement overload but we managed to feed him dinner and get him to bed for 8pm. John and I had a nice steak dinner later on that night. No beer or wine for me though.

Saturday morning we were hit by some bad thunderstorms and hung out in the camper for breakfast. We got our rain suits on after that though and James and I walked down to the beach. John hadn’t slept well the night before so he had a rest while James and I had a fun filled morning throwing rocks into the water.

Later that day our friends Angeline, James and their daughter Adelaide came to visit. They got there around 1pm, and we all went to the beach to enjoy the now very sunny day. The kids were great and loved the water and sand. We hung out there for a few hours and then headed back to the site for some hamburgers and sausages.

Sunday was just as nice, just cooler. We went for a nice walk in the morning and then while James was napping I headed out for a run. It was great, I felt like I could keep going forever. It’s nice to sometimes get a more scenic run in. I ran along the water and on some other trails for about 40 minutes.

Later on Sunday we headed back to the beach and then James had his first ice cream cone. He’s had ice cream before, just not in a cone. You wouldn’t believe how proud he was of himself walking around with his ‘big boy’ ice cream. Too cure.

Monday we packed up and headed home, but not before taking a break at Park’s Blueberries on the way home. We all had blueberry tarts that were very yummy and some other snacks. We got home around 4:30, tired and ready for bed. We are still unpacking and probably will be all week.

Well that’s our trip in a nutshell. Nothing else really new, just busy at work now and my freelance work just keeps coming in. The pants are getting a bit snug on me now… I may have to move into stretchy pants soon or at least some of my bigger sized pants. Hopefully I will post some pictures in the next few days on this post of our trip.
