FVE weekend at Camperland - April 24-27

This last weekend, we headed up to Camperland at Bridal Falls, BC to join the Fraser Valley Explorers for some fun. We headed up there after work on Friday to join the other members in the clubhouse for Happy Hour and then dinner.  There was no campfire that night because of the rain so a movie was in order before an early bedtime. Allison and Tony arrived in time for the groups meeting that came right after breakfast in the clubhouse.

FVE's at Camperland

There was an open house for a few new rigs recently purchased by some members and we also opened ours for a few people thinking of downsizing. After some snacks and refreshments it was time to head back to the clubhouse for “The Amazing Race” FVE’s style. We spent a couple of hours racing (quickly walking as there was no running allowed) around the campground following clues and doing the required activities. All I can say is that I’m not a great colourer but I did memorize the rhyme and got the correct answer, Dale “sucked” at the candy sucking, and we both got the croquet balls through the hoops making us FIRST to finish and winning!

Allison and Tony came a close second but now have the 2nd. place “Cup of Shame” to hold onto until they can earn First place at another outing and pass it on to us. Happy Hour was next on the agenda, followed by a Pot Luck dinner where I won $57. in the 50/50 draw - not making our fellow FVE’s to happy. They say if a Warcup wins it again we’ll be ousted from the club! I won’t even tell you what John (the 50/50 organizer) is going to do to us! A fun campfire that evening and then off to bed.

Campfire!

After the continental breakfast in the clubhouse Sunday morning we parted ways and headed down to Silver Reef Casino for the Seniors day on Monday. A nice afternoon spent shopping in Bellingham and then off to Silver Reef in time for Happy Hour. We spent it with a nice older couple, Laurence & Mary from Merritt, BC that we met in the Parking lot. A little bit of “entertainment” and then off to an early movie/bedtime. Seniors buffet for lunch the next day and then home in the early afternoon so that we could celebrate "Gramps" and Ivy's birthday's with a dinner on Tuesday.
