Camping at Grundy Lake Provincial Park

Darcie, Mason, Mandy and I went camping Sept 11-13th at Grundy Lake Provincial Park. It was the weekend after the last long weekend before school so there was hardly anyone there. We got to pick a really nice site along the water. It was a neat site - it had to levels. The top level was back and away from the fire pit and picnic table so we put our tents up there which left lots of room down below. It had flush toilets and showers which was nice. Darcie and I hadn't been camping for a long time so it was nice to do it again. It reminded us a lot of when we were younger and all the times we went camping in BC. We had to pay for fire wood if we wanted a fire so we paid for a couple of bags but then cleaned up the forest floor around our site to keep it going the rest of the time. Just doing our part to help keep the forest fire threat down................or just trying to save a couple bucks. We went on some nice hikes, enjoyed the beautiful scenery and had a lot of fun relaxing, eating, and playing games. Mandy showed us how to play a game called dice. It's such a simple game but I liked playing it a lot. We found a spot on one of the lakes surrounding the campground where you could watch the sunset. We went there both nights because the spot was so beautiful. We played Yatzee one night. It felt really good getting out of the city and smelling the fresh air, smelling the forest. I love that. All four of us and all our stuff for the weekend went up with us in my car so it was packed soooooo tight but we fit everything we needed. We got to use our Coleman stove we got for Christmas many years back and it worked great. We were eating pretty good considering we were camping. We're thinking of going back there next year or maybe checking out a different campground although it'll be difficult going to another one knowing how nice Grundy Lake is. Sorry I didn't reach you on your birthday dad but glad I found the pay phone, even though the call was collect.
