The kitchen awaits

Our other big summer project has been our kitchen. We have slowly been ripping out flooring and cupbourds and are down to just a sink and appliances. We're just extending our camping experience into our home. Our plan for the long weekend is to put in the new flooring and at least get in the new sink and then slowly add the rest of the cupbourds. Every job takes way longer than we think it should, but we are having fun and enjoying the adventure and learning lots.

Chasing Sandy Beaches

This summer we took off to BC with the tent trailer and no reservations or specific plans. We ended up at Shuswap Lake, Okanagan Lake and then Nakusp. We got very good at setting the tent trailer up and down and learned how important it is to not bring too much stuff. (You never know when you're going to need a 3 axes and a full size shovel). But in all our adventures we had lots of fun and enjoyed our last camp ground right off the Lake and an amazing sandy beach. Unfortunately the water was ice cold, but it didn't stop us from taking a plunge to test it out. Because our plans changed so many times, our original plans for church didn't work out and we ended up waking up at 5:30 to try to make chhurch in Golden, forgetting that there was a time change and arrived an hour late. So we kept on going into Calgary and managed to hit church at 2:30. It was a long day.

Our First Triathlon

Patrick and I have been wanting to do a triathlon for a few years now and finally found one that we could do on Saturday. So last weekend we did our first sprint triathlon in Fort Macleod. It was lots of fun and we had a whole fan club cheering us on and I was only 10 minutes behind Patrick, which I was proud of. We enjoyed our training leading up to the event and hope to do another one next year. It was a fun way ot keep ourselves active and challenge ourselves.
