It took me a week, but I’ve finally got the highlights of our camping trip organized and ready to post!

You know how I’m notorious for posting a million pictures, well I really tried to pair it down this time…if you can believe it.

So…here are the highlights!

Sometimes husbands are very thoughtful. My husband is usually thoughtful only when it comes to booze. He knew how much I love the Jack and Lemonade they serve at Memphis Blue, and found this stuff at the Liquor store. Yay!

We always go gourmet when it comes to camping. Dinner for 6 – Flank Steak, Baked Potatoes, Caesar Salad, and all the fixings!

There was some very interesting conversation that when around the camp site including a comparison of the male genitalia and the Canadian/US border.

A photo ruined by a classic Beer Pass.

BEST FRIEND SHOT

Every time Mike went to pee, Elise would throw rocks at him. She successfully hit him several times.

It started to rain Friday night so we had to adjust our seating.

Chad braved the rain with a home made water proof vest (garbage bag) and Colin brought out his Golf Umbrella.

Chad and I had a Beef Jerky Tug-O-War.

Neil sat in his chair after it had rained for quite a bit and got his ass wet. The solution? Warm it by the fire.

Elise was clearly not impressed by this.

Dario made everyone Flaming Etna’s. Chad had a hard time getting it down so Neil had to help. You can clearly see how Steve felt about it.

Pat resists 2010, Bitches.

Chad left his shoes in the rain. Classic. He tried to warm them but ended up burning them.

What happens when you have too much ice in the cooler? Frozen Eggs.

Steve was too lazy to get a fork so he used tongs to eat his eggs. Ha.

Dario doesn’t believe in Ketchup. Well, maybe not ‘doesn’t believe’ but he doesn’t like it. Therefore, he does not have any in his house. Now, this poses a problem when friends come over for burgers and expect to find it. Solution – buy Dario Ketchup for when we come over!

What is the smartest thing to do when you are massively hung over? How about eat your most hated item of food! Thats what Neil did! Eggs and Baileys nom nom nom.

The Pouwel/Tyrrell McMuffin.

Neil spent most of the day like this.

No need for words.

You can blame us for global warming. Sorry Al.

Thank God for this toque.

Most successful hat of the weekend goes to… The Fort Saint James LED hat! Woot Woot

THANKS MARLEE!

The Family Photo – minus Colin who would not get up.

Another successful camping trip.

Most of the quotes from this weekend are R rated, so they probably won’t go up on the blog. THANKS STEVE!

Camping was a success.

We didn’t write down all the amazing one liners this time so I’m going to have to try to remember everything.

It rained 70% of the time, but that’s OK, we made it work.

Ranger Danger attempted to kick us out (apparently) on Friday night, but that didn’t happen.

They totally left us alone on Saturday night.

Mike and Anthea had to relocate their tent 3 times.

The park rangers tried to screw us over, and Pat almost lost is Crown Royal and Apple juice shit on them, but we prevented it.

Stick Ball has never had so many rules before.

All 300ish pictures have been uploaded to Flickr, and no, I won’t post them all on here.

It’s going to take a while to recover from this weekend.

Heading out Friday Night to Manning Park!!!

The whole Family came along.

Stopped in Hope at McDonalds where we dinned with Alicia & Adam who were headingup to Meritt.

It took Chad 2 hours to put up this tent the first time he did it. This was his second attempt and he had to do it in the dark. Thankfully he had Ryan helping him.

I think this is how he recked his wedding band.

Damn you camp fire band!!!

Booze was the only thing we had to keep us warm since we weren’t allowed to have a fire.

Elise says this reminds her of Montana. I don’t think shes ever been to Montana.

Ryan McMuffin all the way!

Manning Wildlife.

Living the life at Lightening Lake.

Elise got a Bee Sting. We think anyways. Something attacked her and she was bleeding.

Local Pit Stop to get some Ice & Essentials.

No shade meant our camp site was a shocking 30 degrees in the middle of the day. Unbearable. You could actually feel the sun burning you. This is why we spent all our time at the lake.

I think he thinks he is a Rock Star.

Elise fell asleep like this. I think she was protecting her face from the bugs.

Skin Cancer? Ha, no chance…

Ryan fishing.

Love.

Burgers for Din Din.

I was so damn excited about these!

Ryan & Chad reenacting an awkward scene from the lake that morning that involved a naked 4 year old boy, an asian tourist, and a lizard.

Lantern Launch at Lightening Lake. The Pirate Ship caught fire and burned.

BEAGLE! I was so excited that I spotted this little guy, it was like I had spotted a celebrety.

Ryan then spent the rest of the trip trying to convince Chad not to buy me two Beagles. MEANIE!

So cold that Elise and I went to bed at 10 and the boys came to bed at 12. Such temperature extremes.

He clamed an animal came to visit us in the middle of the night.

Time to scrub the pits?

Our deoderant actually melted because the campsite got so hot, so we didn’t have any deoderant.

I always told Chad he reminded me of a bear.

Reading to us about England shipping chicks to Vancouver Island so they could be married off to the English Settlers.

Lazy Lakers

Extra gooey grilled cheese.

Under the Shade of a Dodge Ram.

I feel like we look White Trash here.

More time for reading.

The strippers gave them Ice.

Showing Elise the ways of the Italian Wife.

After days of listening to The Boneyard on Satellite Radio, Ryan thought it would be more appropriate to listen to Classic 40s Jazz while enjoying a romantic dinner of BBQ’d Chicken, Tortollini, and Ceaser Salad. Unfortunetly, that Sun & Smoky Bacon Chips had caused me to feel a bit under the weather and I was hungry as I wish I had been.

Ryans chair broke in about 5 places and this is how he tried to fix it.

Conn & Francesca joined us for the evening.

Clearly Elise is cold.

Broke again?

I think so…

That seems more sterdy.

The boys affectionatly named Ryan & Elises tent ‘The Love Nest’ and Chad & my tent “The Boneyard”.

We were technically suppose to be Ryan & Elises chapperons, since you know, they aren’t married yet, and are already ‘Vacationing’ together.

Anyone up for some expired Jiffy Pop? I should have video taped this whole thing. It wouldn’t pop, and then it burnt, and then it tasted like trash.

The final resting place.

All packed up and ready to hook up with the rest of the family.

Thank you suite 84 at the Hampton in Montana.

You served us well.
