Third Annual Camping Trip with Dad

Todd and the kids went on their third annual camping trip to Beaver Mines in Southern Alberta this past weekend.  This is the one where I am not invited; it's their special time together and what a tradition it's become.  I, on the other hand am quite productive while they are away. This year I went for two morning runs, donated 7 garbage bags full of clothing, cleared out part of the garage, put up a new shower rod and curtain, returned a bunch of recycling, built a desk for Todd for Father's day, cleaned the house, celebrated a friend's birthday (although I would have liked Todd with me for that one), as well as the regular laundry, groceries, etc.  I enjoy having time to purge and get somewhat organized, but am glad when they come back home.

Because it's such a great time, they had friends join them this year.
