We are back from our 5 day camping adventure.
We’ve been back since Tuesday, but I haven’t made it back to blogging until now. And guess what, I didn’t take a single photo while we were gone!! Not sure what was up with that. I try not to stress about capturing everything (especially when we’re on a trip), and I obviously was pretty relaxed this time around. LOL.
Camping was great though. We went to White Lake, about 3.5 hours from home. We did a lot of swimming, biked to Rainbow Falls a couple of times..both to wade in the falls as well as some fishing for Jonas, a few volleyball games and evenings around the fire. It got pretty hot towards the end and with unserviced sites and no air conditioning, sleeping at home that first night was a treat!
You can check out our 2009 White Lake photos here and here, and 2008 here.
After we got home Jonas spent the next 2 days at Winkler Bible Camp. I think he absolutely loved it. One of the reasons being he had a male counsellor (Jonas loves hanging out with big kids) who seemed like a pretty awesome guy. Jonas seemed pretty attached to him. The groups were small…2 campers per big buddy which is perfect. Their days were jam packed and J was so tired by the time I picked him up each evening that he was doing and saying some pretty funny things. Yesterday he told me the reason they have Bible Camp is because it’s more fun than reading the Bible.
Ok, I wasn’t expecting to be so long-winded. LOL.
With no camping photos to share I thought I’d share some house photos. I haven’t really posted a lot of them since we moved in. For the few of you that have asked, here is a start.
This is our upstairs bathroom, right now primarily used by Jonas. (Also upstairs is J’s bedroom, our family room, and the guest bedroom…so this is technically the guest bath too.)

The paint in this room is the darkest color in the house. It’s not dark at all…but I love things clean and airy. So to keep it feeling lighter, we went with white painted maple for the vanity and the matching framed mirror. It cleans like a dream.
Because this is the kid’s bathroom, I wanted to make it fun and a little funky too so I chose to do that with towels and accessories. (easy to change up in the future!)


We (John) put this blind up in here not so long ago. Just from Sears, but it does the job, and I like the texture it adds to the room.


Here is a rundown of the room:
paint – Benjamin Moore coventry grey
polka dot rug, towels, face cloths, soap dispenser & tooth brush holder – Target
shower curtains & white rug – Superstore
framed print – Urban Outfitters
bamboo shades – Sears
So there you have it folks. Congrats if you’re still reading….have a great weekend!
