As the long weekend approaches my preparations for a camping weekend begin in earnest. The background is that my girlfriend shares the kids with her Ex in the summer and this year she has them for July and he gets them for August. Now they just returned from Norway last week and I promised them we’d go camping this summer. Since there is only one weekend left in July it’s going to be this weekend in Drumheller.
Camping on my own I can handle.
Camping with my girl friend I can handle
Camping with the girlfriend, her three kids (yes three), her friend and her 2 kids and potentially her husband, I am not so sure about.
Let me be clear we are not all cramming into the Westy. I think three kids will sleep in the Westy and I’ll sleep in a tent with my girlfriend. My girlfriend's friend and her husband and her kids will have to fend for themselves (and they don't have a Westy.. Mwaaahahahaha)
I’m sure it will be fun but also a little chaotic. I guess the good thing is that in Drumheller there is a lot to do. Hiking, swimming in the river, the muesem, etc. I’m just a little apprehensive because not only am I new to this camping thing (again), but also haven’t had that much experience with that many kids for so long.
It scares the shit out of me!
So far I have had 3 different leaks in the Westy (fuel twice) and hopefully this weekend goes without a hitch as it’s the furthest so far I have ventured from Calgary in the old van. It’s only about an hour and a half, but it’s further right?
