One Froggy Night

Well it took me a week, but I'm finally putting in an entry for our trip last weekend. You'll be able to tell from the pics that it was one foggy weekend, or "froggy" as we like to say! It was extremely mild, and we had a wicked time! I'll just comment on the pics..which were provided by Scott, thank you Scott..here goes.. This is sparky, the fire we built after many trips of hauling our gear in and lots and lots of shovelling (eh Nick?)
This pic was taken in Scott's yard on Saturday, as you can see it was 5 degrees at the time, the fog was just setting in, the temp reached 12 degrees that day!
This is Scott's firepit, just a pic to show how foggy it was! Freaky!
Here's a pic of Nick and I, we were both soaked, it was raining by this point. Still having a blast though!
And here's a big pile of snow that came crashing down off the roof of the camp, it sounded like an earthquake when it fell!
Here's Nick and Kari by the fire, I think that's Dahlia in Kari's lap
Here's Scott and Vince, Vince has a camp down the road from us.
This is Vince's four-wheeler with the trax, really cool rig! This thing just plows through the snow!
Of course we have to have a pic of Jake, this was actually taken while Scott was holding a chip in the air, he was begging big time!
And here is Nick and Kari's dog Dahlia, look at those cute little teeth!

So that's about it, there were some more pics but I'll put them on another post, another day! We're heading back up this weekend with Jen, Aaron, Autumn, Mary and Chris. Should be a fun weekend, we plan to go sliding if there's any snow left! It's been raining so much and staying really mild! Till next time, Liss

Jack and Jill Party

Hello again..this is Liss (I figure I better start saying whether it's me or Darcy). I had the urge to do another post before our camp trip tomorrow. But before I say anything more, I must give a huge THANK YOU to our buddy Dean for these awesome pics! All of these pictures have a common theme, they were taken last spring when a bunch of us headed to the camp for Dean and Jade's "Jack and Jill Party". It was such a fun weekend! Here's a list of who attended; Dean and Jade (obviously), Darcy, Pregnant Colleen, Danny, Scott, Jen, Aaron, Michelle J, Cleve, Darren, Michelle M and myself.

Because of the time of year, the weather was kinda crappy, very wet, but we still managed to have a fire outside, and take a four-wheelin' trip all day Saturday. I'll let the pics speak for themselves...Here's a pic of the whole gang, we decided to park here in front of the many "Inukshuks", I think that's how you spell it! They were just sitting there on the hillside, kinda wierd, but pretty cool.
Here's Scott passing through a huge mudhole, one of the many obstacles we got to drive through that day!
And here's Scott drying his ass by the fire, heh heh! The funny thing is, he got wet when he tried to drive by and splash Aaron! The fire was built beside a lake where we stopped for a break to get warm, and quench our thirst. Just us standing around, waiting for Darcy to build the fire...
Same thing..waiting to get a move on back to the camp! This is the girls having a "hen party" back at the camp, the boys were outside getting soaked in the rain...I think there was too much estrogen in the room for them...Dan's getting ready to bail out!
Here's a proud moment, Jen's leading the pack, and crossing the pipes, you go girl! Heh heh!
And here's the happy couple! Aren't they sweet?
And finally, here's Dean, Darren, Scott and Cleve out by the fire.

We have some great memories of that weekend, it was such a blast! Until next time,
Liss

One Week To Go!

Well with one week to go, we are getting very excited. Last night we spoke with our friend Dean on the webcam. He currently lives in South Korea with his wife Jade. Dean, Jade and our friend Scott own the camp next door to us. Last winter they were here for a visit and Dean sent some pics. I decided I would post them now, that way I won't get them mixed up with future ones. Here goes!This pic pretty much speaks for itself, it's our dog Jake playing around in the snow. Check out those crazy eyes!
Mitch and his friend Trenton built a snowfort-igloo in our yard, here is Jade and Mitch checking it out!
This pic is taken in Scott and Dean's yard. Mitch just threw a snowball at Jake and he is about to catch it. Can you see the snowball in mid-air?
This is taken at their firepit, where Scott is working away trying to start a fire. Meantime, we are all relaxing on the snowmobile..heh heh!
And finally, Darcy and Scott are having a say...enjoying the beautiful mild day that we had.

Well that's it for now..there'll be more to come real soon! Chow!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow....

Well, it took a while, but we finally got the snow we've been looking for. It all landed on Boxing Day, and we are thrilled! Now, we are getting ready to head up for the first winter trip with the ski-doo! Woo hoo!
We will be heading up on January 13th, and then two weeks from then. We'll have to pack the trails down real good this trip, because we'll be having company the next trip. Jen, Aaron and Autumn are supposed to come up for a sliding party. It should be a good time! Anyway, till then, I'll post a few pics from the camp, and of the snow....can't wait!
