Deobald Family Camp

Every year the Deobald family gets together for at least one weekend of camping. Last year, because of mom’s 85th birthday, we gathered at the exotic Morse Campground, where we were serenaded by the ear-splitting blasts of hourly freight trains passing, only meters away. So this year we returned to Outlook Regional Park.

Richard & Lauren

Richard and Lauren (Cal’s nephew) came down from Calgary early and brought Steven with them. After they spent the night, we all travelled together to Outlook on July 27th. All Cal’s siblings made it out this year, and many from the next generation as well: Richard & Lauren, Cindy & Rick, Derrick & Rachel, Nicki & Aaron, Kurt & Judy, Steven, and Aaron. Regan & Maureen made it out from Saskatoon for one day.

Before we left for Outlook, I had spent a day making a “Kubb” set, an outdoor game purportedly dating back to the Vikings. It’s a great game in that it is incredibly simple to learn, yet it lends itself to some interesting strategy. The adults got about one game in before the kids claimed it for their own.

While some people took advantage of the proximity of the golf course, for most of us, the weekend consisted of eating, drinking, lazing around, a little shopping, some visiting, and a whole lot more eating.
