Have Some Hotdogs And Relax

Here we are back at Marten River Provincial Park again. The previous weekend my brother and  sister-in-law went to camp ahead of me and set up the tents before I got there. This time it was my turn to set up the tents before they arrived. 
Picture
Once again I had reserved site 147 which is right across from the beach and a swing set. Originally I had planned to come here with my friends Danielle and Marvin and their kids, however, they moved to Alberta a few weeks ago and were no longer able to come. 
Picture
While I waited for Carsten and Penny to arrive, I had a little visitor come and check out the site.
Picture
It was a Grackle. The white eyes and shiny metallic blue head feathers make this an impressive bird in my opinion.
Picture
I met Carsten and Penny up at the park office. Penny and I both purchased a new hoodie that had moose on it. Mine was grey and Penny's was green. They are very soft and comfortable. 
Picture
We made a small fire in order to cook our supper. 
Picture
We had the traditional camping fare .... hotdogs. 
Picture
After supper we played board games in the dining tent for awhile until it got dark. There was a chill in the air and we were all tired so we decided to go to bed early.

Tomorrow will be busy so, best to rest up!

    Our family members have always been avid campers. It's in our genes. Rain or shine or sometimes wind and occasionally the odd snow fall, there we are with a tent and a smile.

    Thanks for taking the time to read about all of  my adventures! 
    I hope you are out there having your own adventures!
