I love canoe camping! and all other camping, but canoe camping is the best. I also love going to BC(my home province, also the best one IMO) and camping, hikeing, exploring the seashore, and tidal pools. I also like fishing.
And this year me and my dad are going to get certified for diving, so that should be tones of fun to.
Have a good summer every one!

I miss the snow. Sad

The heat stroke, sun stroke, sun burn, mosquito bites, blackfly bites, wasp stings, stinging nettles, poison ivy, sand in your shorts, sand in your sandwich on a miserable picnic, sweating profusely, even in the presence of the Queen, cutting grass endlessly, watering stupid flowers over and over until some evil cat comes and digs them up. Loud neighbours with their smelly barbeques(I hope they all get bochelism), late night outdoor drinking parties when I have to be up for 6 am. Nasty people on their seadoos and water skiers running rampant near the only quiet spot I found, these are a few of my favourite things. Tongue

Sir Humphrey: The identity of the official whose alleged responsibility for this hypothetical oversight has been the subject of recent discussion is not shrouded in quite such impenetrable obscurity as certain previous disclosures may have led you to assume, but not to put too fine a point on it, the individual in question is, it may surprise you to learn, one whom your present interlocutor is in the habit of defining by means of the perpendicular pronoun.

Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister I must express in the strongest possible terms my profound opposition to the newly instituted practice which imposes severe and intolerable restrictions on the ingress and egress of senior members of the hierarchy and will, in all probability, should the current deplorable innovation be perpetuated, precipitate a progressive constriction of the channels of communication, culminating in a condition of organisational atrophy and administrative paralysis which will render effectively impossible the coherent and co-ordinated discharge of the function of government within Her Majesty's United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!

Love me or hate me, it's still an obsession.

BBQ'ing with friends. Camping/boating trips.

Used to love going fishing when I lived on Vancouver Island. Get up at like 4am. Be out on the ocean by 4:30am to 5am. And then by lunch we'd have enough caught to feed us well. Fishing in lakes is fun too, but just not the same.

I also miss the beach. And I'm talking real beaches - by the ocean - not these fake lake beaches.

Lastly - roadtrips. Random/planned excursions. I'm looking forward to seeing NB, NS, PEI and Nfld this summer.

This will be my second summer in a row in Canada... OK it's not that bad!  Cheesy
Windsurfing for me. I'd like to try kayaking maybe this summer anything away from noise. I'll be doing daily personal photo shoot... just for me! My pet project will be to give my granddaughter her best summer.... Horseback ridding is first on the list... anyone knows a good stable were a 4 year old could ride a horse?
