::family camping trip::

we went home for the labor day game/long weekend. our family was going camping so we tagged along. let me tell you i am happy that we were just tag alongs! who the heck knew that you needed so dang much stuff to go camping! gosh. i sure am glad that my dad and les had everything!!

here are some photos of all the fun we had!!
and by all the fun we had. i mean we took some pictures of our nephew doing cute things! haha

enjoy.

this is why i am glad that my dad and les had all the camping stuff! could you imagine if we had to bring camping stuff. yikes.

we got to steal the little nugget!! i love me some ashton! that little face can make you happy no matter how bad you feel!!

this is ashton playing his favorite game of the entire weekend!! drive auntie's car! not just auntie's car. any car would do! you could just put him in the front seat of a car close the door and carry on with having fun!

(no we did not leave him alone in the car. for too long)

i did that once and came back and all the dirt that was on the floor ended up on my seat. hmmm thanks ashton! that kid is lucky i love him!

this picture just makes me laugh!

dad and les brought their cat, who decided it would be great to climb up the tree.

i didn't see any of this happen until les was about to jump off my dads back. here i come running and yelling. 'wait, wait! stay like that i need to take a picture!'

so this was the best shot i could get without my dad getting crushed to death! (not that les is big enough to crush him. cause shes not!) but he is 'old' and he did just have knee surgery a few months ago..

here he is playing his favorite game again!

this little nugget was cranky! he decided that he didn't want to have a nap. we were camping after all! scott(my brother) was laying down with him in the tent forever. i went in to have a nap too. ashton decided that nobody was sleeping. he was too busy being a cranky 19month old fighting sleep like he was going to die if he closed his eyes! well i had just about enough of that! so i asked if he wanted to go drive my car. he was all over that in seconds! so we (scott, alex, ashton and i) went for a car ride. it took him .7km to fall asleep. he slept in my car for almost 2 hours!

tina was 'tired' and 'cranky' too.

we may or may not have started drinking 'soda' at around 9-9:30am that day. tina was in a serious need of a 'nap' at around 4:12pm she 'fell asleep' for a couple hours. and let me tell you i love this girl to death. but i am pretty sure that anyone of us would have been almost willing to kill her! i love you tina... just not when you are that dru... 'tired'

oh yes. there was a football game! a football game that we won! let me tell you. the drive from calgary to regina and back again is long enough. never mind when we keep losing football games. that makes it worse! and frustrating! thank goodness we didn't have that problem this time! it was a good game indeed! i say we keep going like this!

look at my poor nose! it got so burnt. my face hurt for a couple days after this game! and I even had spf 45 on my face. i don't get it.

all in all we had a great weekend. filled with family fun. and a great football game! what more could a girl ask for??
