Okay, fair enough, I spend a lot of time over on the weather website to begin with, but I&#8217;m spending even more time over there lately.  Environment Canada comes out with their updated forecasts around 3:30 each afternoon, so I&#8217;ve been clicking over once in the morning and again late in the afternoon to watch the weather trends for our <a href=\"http:\/\/koa.com\/comecampwithus\/\">free camping weekend<\/a> this weekend.  Since its been within the 14-day extended forecast, they&#8217;ve called for sun, rain, cold temperatures and moderate temperatures.  Of course, last year they called for <a href=\"http:\/\/momm-eh.blogspot.com\/2006\/05\/if-its-raining-we-must-be-camping.html\">nothing but rain <\/a>and it turned out to be <a href=\"http:\/\/momm-eh.blogspot.com\/2006\/05\/roughing-it-in-bush.html\">perfect <\/a>so why the hell do I bother?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, speaking of last year, you all gave me the most excellent suggestions on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.haloscan.com\/comments\/mothership\/114721927716576109\/\">your favourite camping food<\/a>, which I am continuing to mine this year.  But of course, I still need you.  We&#8217;ve got a three and five year old, plus our two year old nephew, to entertain for two days with no TV and (gasp!) no computer.  There is definitely a trip to the dollar store on the agenda for this week, but you can only get so far with disposable crap and colouring books.<\/p>\n<p>What are your favourite camp-type games?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.haloscan.com\/comments\/mothership\/114721927716576109\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been spending a lot of time on the weather website these days.
