We're back from our camping trip - it rained most of the time but still had a good time. Our camping trip was interrupted 1/2 way through because my mom's cousin passed away. We'd driven into town where we'd get cell reception to call my parents to wish them happy anniversary on the 30th and when I called my parents were already in the car driving to southern Ontario. DH and I decided that night that we'd drive down the next morning. You don't exactly pack funeral clothes with you camping and we just figured we'd stop at the store to buy something on the way there... we were an hr into the drive when it dawned on us that it was Canada Day so all the stores would be clothes. The only stores allowed to be open are in "tourist areas" so we drove into down town Toronto to go shopping for clothes there. We stopped at DH's bro's house (who conveniently lives 1/2 hr from where the wake was) to shower and change (and visit with our 4 month old nephew for 1/2 hr) and headed off to the wake. Everyone was quite surprised we'd made it. My mom's cousin was only 59 but had been very sick with rheumatoid arthritis and colitis since her 20s and all the medication she'd been on had damaged her Kidneys so that's what finally took her...

Congrats to all the BFPs I've missed while away!
