Camping at Candle Lake.

I hope all you die-hard Jude fans have survived a week without new Jude pics! We have been busy camping at Candle Lake with Jason's sister Angie and her family. It was so much fun. In fact I don't have many pictures of all the fun stuff we did because I was busy having fun. (It was also probably due to the fact that it is hard to take pictures with a beer in your hand.)

Here's Jude "on the rocks".

Jude loved the beach and the sand. Here his is busy playing with his very expensive sand bucket and shovel.
I think puckering your lips helps to build better sandcastles. Jude found out that sand does not taste as good as it looks, even after the 30th handful....sheesh.

Puckering your lips also seems to help your boating skills.

Jason and Jude playing in the water. What a colour co-ordinated couple they are!

Me, Jude and a big cooler bag of Kokanee, everything I need to have fun at the beach.

Jude and his cousin, Karissa. He had so much fun playing with her and all her girlfriends, what boy wouldn't?
Here's Auntie Angie and Jude playing a little soccer.

It appears soccer can be a sit-down sport as well.

Here's all the gang around the campfire. Jason's mom, Sandi, and Glenn joined us out at the lake. We ate bush pies and smores, yum yum.

Here's the final photo before we left. This photo makes me smile because it reminds me of the kind of photo my parents always used to take. They would wait till the last minute to take a photo of all the visiting relatives with us kids, so there we would be with bleary-eyes and bed head standing in front of the departing car of the visiting family. So here it is, pajamas and all!

We had such a wonderful time, it made the long car trip worthwhile. I have to give Jude (and Gravol) a lot of credit for being so good in the car. First family camping trip was a success!

Now I must go and tackle the heaps of laundry. I hope your long weekend had you enjoying some sun and sand.
