This campsite was about an hour out of town, way out in the bush. It's crown land (government land), like most of the bush around us, so it's free for the using.

Labour Day Weekend
This is how we do things in Red Lake:
One of my favorite parts about living here is how socializing is so laid back. Once or twice a summer a location is chosen and a big general invitation goes out. People show up with their campers or tents and set up for the weekend or just for the day. There's lots of sitting around the fire, beach time and campfire cooking. The big kids play all day long, perfectly entertained, and the little kids get dirty.

Yes, that gourmet food Lydia is eating is a plain ol' hot dog. Mmm...
This is Lydia's best buddy, her 3rd cousin, Tirzah. I am unsure as to the reason Lydia thought it would be helpful to feed Tirzah her mac and cheese. We found Lydia feeding Tirzah another time or two over the weekend as well.

Now not only do I see an immediate need for your boys to have walkie talkies, but you are in even MORE need of a 1 year old's life jacket I see. LYDIA IS IN A KAYAK AND NO ONE IS FREAKING OUT?! :) But I digress. Canadian Labor Day activities look like much fun. I love sitting around fires and campfire eating. Fun!
For sure some of the things we miss about the north! love the pictures, Lydia is becoming a real little servent! Bless her!
Love the last photo!
Karen, I loved the photos.

That's Lydia's way of showing you how helpful she'd be with a little sibling... Just saying ;) enjoy your visitors! I'm jealous!
I also loved the last picture of Lydia in a boat, AND felt some concern at the same time. :) Looks like a nice relaxing time. I'll have to remember the boat trick next time I need some peace and quiet. Just tie them up and kick back! :)
Karen, I love the camping pictures. My favorite is Little Miss Lydia feeding Little Miss Tirza! Mom
I think that little girl likes the water. The last time I went on a walk with her, she wanted to take me into the lake. Grandpa
By the way,that comment about being helpful to a little sibling. I think Lydia could very helpful to a little cousin. Grandpa
Yeah, Karissa! Give little Lydia a cousin to feed! Come on. Grandpa knows what he's talking about. I've been waiting 20 years for this. We must have another 3 year old Karissa around here. I'm dying for that mischief to be rebirthed. ha! (I think I'm a safe enough distance away to write this.)
