Lakeside Baby!

What a great weekend we had! We got home from our camping weekend last night and we were beat, even the dog. Still it was a great weekend spent visiting the family lakeside at Great Central Lake.
The view from the boat launch at 7:30 am Sunday morning.

I didn't get to go wakeboarding but I did jump off the dock with my niece, who is 9, and let me tell you the water was freezing cold! The things Aunts will do for their nieces/nephew is crazy sometimes. Mostly we spent our time around the campfire chatting and having a great time. We even made smores!
Boating to the other side of the lake.

The weather cooperated enough to not rain on us all weekend. Of course it was hot and sunny yesterday as we were getting ready to head back to the ferry and home. We did get in a boat ride to the other end of the lake, where you could see snow. I have been coming to this lake for a few years now with my family and there is not usually snow on the mountains at the end of June. I really hope July is hot and sunny everyday!

I don't know about you guys but camping isn't about making a fashion statement to me. Its about campfires, good conversation, friends, family, puppies, fishing off the dock, long walks, smores, eating more than you should, and so much more. I don't have any outfit photos because I didn't take any. Maybe I should have but I was busy. Sorry guys!
Sunnies!
 
I had such a great weekend and I can't wait for all the other exciting plans my man and I have for this summer and I will try to get outfit photos for those. They'll probably be more exciting than my one sweater from this trip.

What kind of summer plans do you have?

Camping!



This weekend my man and I are heading over to Vancouver Island to go camping with my folks at Great Central Lake. The weather is not looking great but I have  my fingers crossed for sunshine! All I want to do is jump off the dock into the water at least once. On top of that things I am looking forward to for this weekend are:

-campfires! (mostly for roasting marshmallows)
-wakeboarding, I have been wakingboarding for a few years now and I quite enjoy it.
-riding bikes. My man is a super mountain biker, I plan to try to keep up.
-seeing my mom, we laugh a lot together.
-being away. I love my city and I love hustle and bustle but everyone needs some quiet sometimes.

Usually when I travel I am a terrible over packer but this time I have packed the smallest amount of items possible. I am after all going camping.

-one pair of shorts
-one pair of jeans
-2 tanks
-2 tees
-a long sleeve tee
-a sweater
-3 bathing suits
-a pair of flipflops
-pjs
-undies/bra

All tossed into the beautiful bag my man got me for my birthday. I think the reason I normally over pack is because I never know what I am going to want to wear or what we plan on doing. Camping takes out all the thoughts of  "Maybe I need a pair of heels?" or "Do I need a fancy going out dress?". No one at a campsite thinks "She wore that same sweater last night." You're too busy eating snacks, playing game, drinks beers, and laughing. So here's to a weekend of non fashion, every fashionista needs one!
