Out before the sun sets

Properties of the Lake

The beginning of the end of the new deck. The end is the hardest as plans continuously change.

Todd's little baby tent.

"Do we have to go home today???"

Sarah likes fire and taking pictures!

My favorite God Daughter/Niece...

"I am finished cleaning your dishes, let's get to the party!"

The rain was not making up it's mind on what to do.

Waiting for the right cooking flame.

This was our favorite meal all week.

"Leave me alone, I just woke up. What? You want me to cook, too?"

Notice the lack of PEOPLE in the water! There were people on the beach, just not in the water. Although, 3 days later, everyone was in.

Brrrrr...it's a little chilly in the water.

Is it or is it not going to rain?

Taking a short break

First time Kayaking. DEFINEITLY not our last, loved it!

One of the man-made Osprey nests we saw on our Kayak tour.

Late night stroll, before bed.

I know you can't see it, but this frog was about the size of Todd'd head.

" Which room are you sleeping in?"

"CAMPING ROCKS!"

"Just let me be"

"After 6 Mooseheads and 6 Alexander Keiths, I came to the conclusion Keiths is VERY MUCH a better beer."

"Who wants chilli?"

Len was going to hold a meeting inside the vestibule.

I love waking up to the smell of bacon.

Todd's taking a night shot of the new tent, the tent that can fit his tent in side it.

"ohhhhhhh....fire and burgers!"

"I've got food in my mouth!"

We have arrived.

"Yes, we got the new tent up with no problems"

12:19 am August 1. Everyone is getting out of there wet clothes.

12:15 am August 1. I woke up almost 2 hours of driving and we were in Orillia. I have no idea how many Tim's my brothers stopped at, but I needed out (in my underwear) in front of some carpet and tile store.

10:22 pm July 31. Within 12 minutes we tore everything down, put out our fire (burnt some clothes from the wind), our neighbors fire (as they were out to the store), swam into the car and started our journey back to Ottawa a day early!

10:09 pm July 31. As myself and Len were trying to get some beautiful lightning on camera, we turned to each other after a blast of wind that almost knocked us over, ughhh...somethings brewing here!

10:07 pm July 31.

10:06 pm July 31. Yes, this is the colour of night with loud and bright lightning.

9:53 pm July 31. Bottom of photo is the roof of the car, middle is more cars in a field, top is BLACK clouds and some white sky from lightning.

9:52 pm July 31. We ended up getting out of the Family Reunion pretty early, as the rain started coming down in torrential downpour. We were happy to get back when we did as we had some work to do to our campsite. As we were working, loud cracks of thunder and major lightning was starting!

5:12 pm July 31. Someone's going on a solo dance!

5:11 pm July 31. "Hey....it was NOT me!"

5:10 pm July 31. We just can't get enough of the Aunt's. They are a blast!

4:52 pm July 31. The first ones to greet us are always "THE AUNTS". Great aunt's to us.

4:54 pm July 31. We made it to the Bridge Family reunion. There is the famous Uncle Allan.

11:19 am July 31. Todd is grumpy because, well, we really don't know why. Maybe because I caught him waiting for his water to boil on his second coffee.

11:18 am July 31. Rain was coming down lightly, so we moved into cover. It was an extremely well done cover, even camoflaged!

8:35 am July 31. Caught Todd just waking up.

9:48 pm July 30

9:47 pm July 30. Not much going on here, guess we were full of burgers and beer.

9:09 pm July 30. Action shot!

9:08 pm July 30. Just finishing supper.

8:17 pm July 30. Cook was back in the woods, so I took over flipping duty. It was on the way to the cooler!

8:03 pm July 30. Len is the designated chef.

5:53 pm July 30.

5:50 pm July 30. Now we're talking! This is where the smarter people come to go in the water. Sandy Beach, across the Bruce Peninsula from Lion's Head, on Lake Huron where the water is 100 times warmer and a wonderful shallow sandy beach.

5:29 pm July 30. Downtown shot of Ferndale, Ontario. You all know where that is!

5:05 pm July 30. Lion's Head Marina.

5:04 pm July 30. Smart ones are sunbathing!

5:03 pm July 30. Todd was really fond of the anchors. He begged me to take a photo of them.

5:01 pm July 30. This is, well, it's what it says it is. People come here to, get this, "go IN the water". The smarter ones just lie on the beach.

4:51 pm July 30. Somewhere up there, once was a Lion's Head formed by rocks (hence, the town's name). Years and years and years and years have gone by and the Lion's Head fell away

4:48 pm July 30

4:46 pm July 30. Standing at the end of the pier at the Lion's Head Marina. Water was so clean and clear, I just wanted to jump in. But did not, knowing it would probably stop my heart from cold shock!

4:17 pm July 30. As we were looking, we ran into someone (Dwayne Lougheed) who knew all of my family so......chat chat chat. Notice how his granddaughter was afraid to step in the wrong spot!
