camping weekend at the Hinko farm

 We are getting all official and  becoming hard core campers.  We even had our first highway blowout to start our weekend off, boo!  Some nice samaritans stopped to help us out, so that was super kind.

 

Oh it is getting pretty fun around the campfire, we have been trying a few new things. Super awesome was a waffle cone with marshmellows and chocolate chips inside, yummy. Beth joined us with her gang and had her first smore! What?! Thirty-three and having her first smore?  It was a blast to play with baby Grace and visit around the campfire.
 

Stony Plain has a Farmer's Day parade and it was super great.  We joined Beth's friends and ended up getting a spot right next door to where my Great Auntie Rosie and Uncle Herbie live. My Great Aunt Joan and Uncle Leo came by too.  It ended up being a mini-family reunion of sorts.  There is something so special about family, it was lovely to get to visit and see them.  Growing up, in the summer when I would stay with my Grandma and Grandpa Hinko at thier farm we would see our great Aunts and Uncles, I have a great love for them.  Most were able to come to our wedding.  It was just lovely!
 
The parade was pretty rad and the ladies had a blast.  So many great floats and groups represented in the parade.
 


 Also special about the weekend was Grandma Lorincz's 80th Bday!!! We paraded in the day and partied in the night, we are busy peeps and totally enjoyed all of the family time.



 One of the highlights had to be the petting zoo!!!!!!!
Our girls were in LOVE with the bunnies.  It was adorable and sparked an idea for growth in our family.  We spent sooooo much time in there cuddling and petting.


 A big reason we chose to camp at the farm this weekend was because the Farmer's Days had a rodeo which our cousin Willie was bull riding in.  I have to say although interesting, I am not such a lover of rodeo...it kinda makes me feel not so good inside for the animals.  It was a cool experience though, fun to get to go with Grandma!
Another weekend in the camper! Yeah us!!!!
