On Friday Nick, Mikayla and I headed up to Algonquin for a night of camping. We had planned on spending 2 nights but we didn't get off to a great start and Mikayla wanted to come home because of the unbarable blackfies. As most of you know Mikayla is highly allergic to misquitos and blackflies. So bad that after a weekend of camping for her 3rd birthday, her eyes swelled shut and she spent some of it in the hospital causing her to be late for her own borthday party. It was then that we discovered the allergic reaction. So this time we went prepared! We had a full bug suit that Granny bought her, benadryl (stick and liquid) and a cream my doctor gaave me to put on instantly in case of a bite. But the buggers still managed to get into the suit. She only got a few bites, and luckily not near her face. However the bites she did get seemed to swell quite abit but nothing like last year. We also got hit by the worst storm I've ever seen!!It started out as what seemed to be heat lightning in the distance but out of no where we got pounded!! The ground shook with thunder as it started to pour. The brand new tent Nick had just bought was missing pieces so it leaked all night and we ended up soaked! AND THEN to top it all off, me being the moron I am...locked the keys in the truck...along with everything we packed. Dry clothes, our food, cells etc. We woke up in the morning wet, hungry and with no phone to call a tow truck. So Nick headed to the ranger station to find out that the power was out so we were stranded! Luckily the gave him a coathanger and after 5 hrs of trying, he got the door open. We then changed, packed up and headed home. Aside from the bad start, we ended up having an awesome weekend! We spent Saturday Go Karting, at Chuckie Cheese and at Mikayla's favourite park in Aurora. Sunday followed with a suprise birthday party at Granny's. It was an awesome day:) Thanks to everyone who came and to Cheryl and John for throwing it!!It was a blast!! Here are some pics from the party.

It was a very typical quiet (lol) day at the Goodman household. I took Nathan in the pool and sat on the stairs with him. He was fine for a short while, the decided he didn't want to be held. Mikki got in the middle of a water pistal fight and handled it very well, she seemed to be who some were hiding behind. Me in particular. Andrew....wow, I asked what he does in his spare time because he sure looks like he might have some exotic dance moves under his belt....
Looks like an awesome party!! Good day to be in the pool with all the heat and humidity.
i think my rambo pik takes the prize
but the creepy one of andrew is pretty scary
HAHAH If you enlarge the picture of Andrew...you can really see the passion in his eyes LOL
