We had a great weekend with some friends at the KOA in Cardinal. The weekend was filled with excellent company, weather and food. There were lots of activities to choose from. We learned to make french fries, pancakes, bread and S’Mores over the fire. We played euchre, UNO, and did crafts. Can’t wait to do it again !!

“Ice Cream Cones” on the BBQ
Stephanie and I headed out to the Ottawa Champions Emergency Services Day. We set up a Paramedic Unit for the Kids to go thought and Stephanie helped throw out the first pitch….
Of course we both had to pose in the “Bail for Jail” setup.
Another great weekend of camping at Highly Flow. We were able to arrive on Friday afternoon. The weather was great. This weekend I was able to try Cookie Dough Brownies and Beef ribs in the cast iron. We dodged some major thunderstorms on Saturday. Thunder and lightening all around but only a little rain over the site. Sunday came to fast. We packed up a damp trailer and headed back to the city and lots of HEAT!!! A very hot week ahead.
Ben after a very busy weekend
I got a new dutch oven recipe book for my birthday. I had to try making bread. It worked great but next time I have to cut the recipe in half…….
I caught this beautiful site on the way to work at 05:30 in the morning. It`s a great way to start the day…..that and an XLarge coffee from Tim`s
It was finally time. The surface of the deck needed to be replaced. During the heat of the weekend, Stephanie and I started the “destruction”. It only took a couple of days but its going to look done when it’s done….including the 3 1/2 extra feet.
Stephanie and I decided to try something different this weekend. A quick check on the web and we found that our local guy was having a SUP (Stand Up Paddle boarding) class. The weather was great and so was the instruction from Jason, the owner of Jenda Paddle Sports was very informative. Stephanie only fell off about 3 times while I fell at least 6 times. Actually I stopped counting after 6. The course was held at the Baxter Conservation Beach.

This is one of my favorite pictures from Canada Day. The two Paramedics never met each other until the were both assigned to work the Barrhaven Canada Day celebrations. But both of them knew the organizer Darrell B. I know all of them! What do we have in common? We are 4 generations of Camp Opemikon Staff and Rover Crew Members. It is a small world.
