Our two weeks is over. it was a ton of fun with moments of craziness and frustration. The weather was not up to par and we were a bit laid back when we should have been on our toes, I 'll tell you all about it when I get home to Canada later next week.
The butterflies were everywhere. They gathered on our trail to the water and as we passed, they would fly all around us. There were at least 50 in the bunch. When I got my camera, this is what was left.
Have some business to take care of, some painting to do this weekend. Then next Tuesday I go to Vermont for a sleepover with my husband's sister. I hope to meet a myLoter there if there is time for both of us. Heading back to Canada on Thursday.
See you later....

Sorry that the weather wasn't the greatest for your camping venture. I hear of the camping woes that so many campers faced this year. Not a good year for it weather wise.
Love the pic of the butterflies!

@PainsOnSlate I guess if you have waterproof canopies you should be fine. I am not that much of a risk taker though. I want to be dry.

@PainsOnSlate , I agree, spring and fall are my favourite seasons. Summer is too many bugs and winter nights are no fun.

My sister-in-law was not up to par, I stayed with her and spent the time with her. She is the oldest of our generation. Elusive understood...

We always have a lot of fun while camping, we have learned to laugh a lot, at our self, and at any insanity that happens at Camp Insanity, and it does happen every year.

I love butterflies and wonder if you'll be painting them when you get back? Glad you're having a good trip and looking forward to hearing all about it.

I have painted butterflies but I've moved on and just use color and shapes now. First story is up - about the river.
