15 JULY 2011: day 196 (week 28)

our first ever camping trip - CAMPBELLFORRD!!
my brother and his friends do this annual camping trip. they have a friend who owns a cottage at campbellford and she rents it out to her friends. this year we got invited to join their camping! i thought we would be in the middle of wilderness with no electricity and bathroom. but i was so surprised that the place was fully equipped with everything..but was still in the middle of wilderness.
as soon as we arrived, my brother helped nitz set up our tent. eventhough there were rooms in the cabin, we opted to sleep in the tent.


after we have settled in, the owner of the cottage arrived with their boat and gave us a boat-ride around their area.


this is the view of the cottage from the lake..



we caught the sunset on our way back...beautiful!


we ended the day with a bonfire..

i am so proud of both my kids..they have done well for beginners. rafael showed a very big potential and even the teacher said he has the correct swing. i think we will definitely enjoy tennis this summer!!
