This weekend is the Abbotsford Air Show. Hubby flew in yesterday morning because our plane is on static display (parked under a B52!) and he's working the CASARA booth. I had to work at the train station yesterday morning so I resorted to driving over.
Barb and Jerry, our friends from Quesnel, have flown down for the air show and are camping on the field. We decided on Friday night to join them. So when Hubby left yesterday he packed all the camping gear in the plane.
Well almost all. He forgot the tent! He packed the poles and the pegs, but no tent. How do you forget the tent? Kind of the most important part of camping.
His first suggestion was that I drove home and get it. Yeah, no! So Hubby and Jerry MacGyvered a tent.
A bright orange tarp, some bungee cord and a few pegs, all borrowed from Barb and Jerry and my car = a tent.
Of course it was a hot day yesterday, but once the sun went down it was chilly. I used my yoga mat for a bit of extra padding between me an the ground and a picnic blanket for extra warmth. My work fleece was also still in the car, I wore it over my pajamas. There is something to be said for leaving random items in the car.
It was comfy and we slept well. So all's good in the end.
Oh, did you notice that Hubby's sleeping mat, sleeping bag, and t-shirt are all safety orange to match Jerry's tarp? Hubby may be forgetful but at least he matches!
