Lightening Lake Camping

Cold Cold Cold
And that was just the first day/night of camping in Manning Park. Thank you to Papa Paul for the use of his propane fireplace! Kept us toasty when the sun disappeared.
But I must admit that the campsite and lake were simply beautiful and so peaceful.
We planned on staying three nights in E.C.Manning Park with Aunty Joy & Uncle Scott but settled for two chilly overnights. I am not exagerating when I claim it was cold... there was actually ice on the picnic tables from the morning dew when we woke after the first night. Really!!!
JMan & Daddy even went fishing & he caught his very first trout (only one that weekend). I think we were more excited than he was when he was reeling it in.
But Jackson did not notice the cold one bit. He loved every minute of chasing squirrels & chipmunks, jumping off logs & stumps, playing frisbee with Mom & Dad and just the novelty of sleeping in a tent outside. He made the cold not so bad and all worth it.
