Now the vacation starts!
I'm back from being bear bait! Yay civilization!!!!
There were 12 bears roaming the park.
How did they know it was 12?
Apparently Parks Ontario thought it would be a good idea to shoot the beggars in the butt with different coloured paint balls.
Yeah, let's piss off a bear by giving it a neon pink tattoo.
They managed to catch 2 bears while we were there and of course they weren't multi-coloured so that that meant there was really 14 bears at least. We couldn't leave anything out in the open. Even toiletries had to be locked up in the truck. Not only locked up but covered with a blanket because the bears are smart. They'll peek into your vehicle and if they see something they like, they'll break the windows to get at it.
Made me feel real safe in my "deluxe" canvas and tin can homeless shelter.
We did see a lot of deer and foxes, not to mention being swarmed by Canada's national bird, the mosquito.
I can now play connect the dots on my legs. Nope, Deep Woods Off and Muskol are no match for gazillions of bugs that decide I'd make a wonderful entree.
Fuck.
Not to mention it rained for 10 of the 12 days we were there.
Including the morning we packed up.
Laundry?
I've got a mountain.
A clean house?
My baby boy, despite having friends over (with our permission) 4 or 5 times had the house spotless and the pool sparkling.
He has told me he's never going to have his friends over again because it took him too long to clean the house afterwards. He even steam cleaned my carpets because one of his friends dropped a pizza.
Holy shit there are a lot of empty beer bottles in my garage.
Now I get to plan my baby girl's 12th birthday sleepover this weekend.
I'd rather take my chances with the bears.
*sigh*
