The 2nd part to our vacation was spent camping with the hubby’s parents. When we got home from B.C. we only spent 24 hours at home and then we were off again! It was pretty hectic! We had to unload and then reload to head out to my in-laws the next day. We store our trailer on their property when we are not using it.
When we got there I needed to clean out the camper and then we went to town and got a some groceries and few other things we needed.
We went camping to a place called the Hummingbird. It is kind of out in the middle of nowhere Alberta. It was also a little chilly at night even though it is July. We had the heater on in our trailer every night! During the day the weather was pretty nice but at times windy.
It took us about 2 hours to get there from my in-laws place. A good part of the drive was on dirt roads. It was so darn dusty! The inside of our trailer had a film of dust on everything and I spent an hour cleaning when we got there!
But after everything was cleaned and set up we were all set! 
We were camping with a bunch of people that the hubby’s parents camp with every year. They have quite the set up and it does not feel like roughing it at all even though we were technically “dry” camping (no water or hook ups for the trailer).
Here is a shot of our camp town! Most of the people also bring their horses along to ride the surrounding trails with. My in-laws brought their horses as well. The hubs got back on a horse after YEARS!
He got on his Mom’s horse Cash and went with his Dad down to the river to water the horses. Not a long ride but a ride non the less! He had to wear his rubber boots since he forgot his cowboy boots!

I also got on Cash to make the hubs happy! He wanted to snap a picture of me…of course!
I was not the happiest person…since I am not really a horse lover! I sat on Cash for about 5 minutes and then got off!
J also had a seat on the horse with Daddy….
It did not last very long. J did not like it very much…hmmm..maybe it will grow on him??
Most of our days camping were spent around the campfire and chatting with everyone and just relaxing. I did a lot of reading and managed to finish a book for once!
J looked so cute sitting in his little chair. He was a good little camper.
He had a lot of fun. He went for rides in the cutest little wagon. I want to get one of these for him.
He loved it!
He played outside a lot!
We tried our best to keep him out of the dirt! He played with the rope for like an hour..too funny!
Such a cutie patooie!
We also had great camp food of hamburgers and steaks but breakfast is always my fav. We had eggs every morning with either bacon, sausage or pancakes. Yum!
It always tastes so good when cooked over the fire.
We also took a little trip and did some very short hikes to see Hummingbird Falls and Ram Falls.
Hummingbird Falls
These Falls are really pretty and a little smaller than Ram Falls.
We could not go too far since we had to carry J in his chariot.
We stuck to the wide trails.
The hubs did a little 4X4 with J in his Chariot!
Next up we went to Ram Falls.
Much bigger!
With a bit of walk down to the platform to get a closer look.
Walking down was easy but coming back up was a bit of a workout!
There were also some mountain sheep soaking up the sun on the side of the hill.
Walking back to the truck.
All in all we had a relaxing vacation. I sat on my butt most of the time…but that is usually my intention while on vacation. I like to relax since when I am home I am mostly on the go all the time with J. I read, played cards did a little hiking and just enjoyed the quiet it was great.
Now we are home and back into the swing of things. I got my butt back in gear, did a mountain of laundry with still more to DO and got back into our routine.
I also got my lazy self exercising again! I will post more on that later.
Ta for now!
