We did our 3rd anual trip up north to a friends place for a canoe trip. Basically, we camp in their yard, right on a nice quiet lake, we set up Friday afternoon, and then drink. Saturday is a few different events for the day, this year we did a little fishing tournament with mostly the dads and the kids, 3 boats, had fun even though I got skunked. After that, we went out skeet shooting, my first time doing it, and with a single skeet, it got pretty easy, but with 2 at a time, forget about it LOL. after that, more drinking hehehe, some swiming and waterskiing was put off due to lowsey weather Saturday so we drove some golf balls into the lake, dont worry, they go diving for them durring the summer. Then we drank some more, and did the bon fire thing all night. Sunday is canoe day, we loaded up about a dozen canoe's (smallest group in my 3 years going) and we do about a 4 hour canoe trip around a lake, down a river, stop for lunch mid river. We then go a little farther and the youngins (and me of course) do some olypic style diving off a bridge that consits of pretty much just jumping on my part LOL, then we hit the big lake and canoe across that to another river and then back to camp. After that, its pretty much NAP time. Next up is more drinking, and fireworks, but we dont have an asshole for a neighbour like 500blue had to deal with. Monday morning, we hit the hwy parking lot LOL on our way home.

heres a few pics from camp, I'll post up a couple canoe pics when I get them from my buddy, I dont bring my camera in the canoe since we flipped our last year and had it folded around backwords in some rapids across a big rock LOL.

Hey Greg, yes its a wild deer, but its been coming to their house for 5 years now, its so used to people on THEIR property that anyone there can feed or pet it.

Hey GECKO, what size did you build, I'm planning a new garage out behind the house. I was thinking 20 x 22 for the toys, maybe a little bar, and possibly some day a Harley.
