Lifelong friends in the least expected place....continued

Day 19 of my 365 day blog challenge.

Wright's Beach Campground in Penticton BC.  As I mentioned yesterday, 2011 was the first time we went to this campground about 5 hours outside of Vancouver.  We had an amazing time.  Though we were surrounded with trailers and we were in our tent, it was awesome.

The campground is so busy that you have to book your site a year in advance for the next year.  We couldn't wait for our trip in August 2012.  We had met some friends and were looking forward to seeing them.  We even stepped it up from our 4 person tent to an 8 person trailer! Friends of ours were kind enough to lend us their trailer for our 2 weeks.  They came up for a few days too, which was so much fun!. 

This summer at the campground was awesome! We saw our friends from the year before and met some new ones too.  Our trailer was on the beach and we really connected with 3 couples who were beside us.  We just seemed to have an instant connection.  It felt like we knew each other for years.  We are very much looking forward to seeing them again this August.

Sometimes in life you meet people and you just know that you want to know more about them. Meeting Deb and Ray, Tracy and Gord and Angela and Kyle really made our 2 weeks in Penticton memorable.  They are such amazing people.  I never imagined that I would love camping so much and that I would book my site 1 year in advance, but we have!

We feel so blessed to have met such kind, loving, lifelong friends in such a least expected place.  We are also so excited for Nathan to be able to grow up with his summer friends at the campground.  Now all I really need to know is, which one of you is renting the boat so I can water ski and check that off my bucket list!!!!

Building memories that will last a lifetime......

Thanks for reading, sharing and commenting.  Giving thanks and a whole lotta love.
