Banana Boats

Just a couple pictures of one of our favourite camping treats (especially Mr. A!).
Delicious banana boats warmed up over the fire :)
Just take a small chunk of the peel off the banana, then fill the banana with deliciousness.
Our version of this consists of peanut butter and chocolate, but you can use different flavours of chocolate chips, different fruits, marshmellows - basically anything you want.
Replace the peel that you had taken away and wrap the whole thing in tinfoil.

Cook over the fire, flipping occasionally :)

Unwrap and enjoy! Careful - it's quite hot at first. We use a spoon and spoon it all out a bit at a time :)

I envision making these with my kids one day and I can't wait! 

If you've had these, you'll know what I mean. 

If you've never had them - try them on your next camping trip!

Final Camping Weekend

Final camping weekend. 

How sad!? I love getting away for the weekend and it feels like my summer has come and gone so quickly this year. Since the weather is starting to cool off, we made a last minute decision to grab our gear and head out camping for one more weekend. 

While there I also realized that it will be the last weekend camping with just us. 

And the dogs. 

Next year we're going to have a little he or she to take along with us! I'm sure this won't deter us from camping (even with a tent) but it really was nice to have one final memory of camping with just my wonderful husband. This weekend we ventured out to Pipestone, a camping park only 30 minutes from Grande Prairie. It was close to home, and neither of us had ever camped there before so we thought it was a great last minute choice :) 

The weather was nice (aside from two 10 minute spurts of rain), and the atmosphere was great.

Here are some pictures from our adventures:

Healthy morning yoga :)

My man whittling away - making boats!

My pregnant belly, hanging over so far I can barely see my feet now!

And of course we spent some time by the water :)

The boats made it to the water! Mine won the race of course...

Late night campfire with some visitors :) That's the great thing about camping close to home!

My rainy day plans.

Already looking forward to next year's camping fun :)
