Was it a holiday weekend for you, Linds? Scott's parents sound boring! (Don't let Scott see this). They should use the lake!

Yes it was a holiday weekend here. It's just called "civic holiday", basically an excuse for another day off
I love my province for all of our statutory holidays lol! We have one long weekend almost every month.
I think Scott knew they'd be building a deck but I didn't know that. His dad has a bad back so Scott helps out with stuff like that, so almost every time we're there Scott is doing something with his dad that requires lifting. Scott's brother-in-law is a champion muay-thai fighter so I think he helps out a lot too. Compared to him, Scott is a string bean!
I really don't mind just sitting around and relaxing but I really don't understand why they don't take advantage of everything! I guess maybe it's just our backgrounds though. They are city people, so maybe sitting outside their campers (they decided not to build a cabin, just brought out two campers) is enough for them.
I'm from a tiny little town and even before we had a cabin my parents would take us to the lake all summer long. I didn't swim in pools growing up! It was lakes, beaches, campfires. Even now I don't consider it "camping" if there's electricitiy
I told Scott that when we first started dating because he has always been in electrified camp sites so they can plug in laptops, and cook in an oven inside the motorhome! Haha I made him go "primitive" camping last year in the mountains
We made popcorn over the open fire and had to warm up our PJ's before running to the tent at night. It got to -2 degrees C overnight, and we just had to snuggle closer to stay warm
So I guess it's just different lifestyles! I can sit in my yard anytime, but in the city it's not private and quiet in their yard so maybe that's what they like. If I had a beach in my yard at home, I wouldn't be complaining lol!
