| First the car ride |
Sir John gets around. He's been here and there. Today he went to Murphys Point Park. I rented a canoe at Murphys Point Park, surprised the kids. They have been camping for the week on an island.
Here are my blog posts:
Packing, unpacking,
filtering water,
setting up the tent,
cooking lunch, beach time!
I've learned so much about camping, never having been. We cottaged July and August in Muskoka every year.

| Next the canoe ride. |
Like learning a new computer, it helps to have a pro or mentor there to give you pointers. Many of our Ontario parks have
Learn To Camp programs. Two-day events to teach you the basics.
It was a delightful trip on Rideau Lake.
I interupted breakfast. That was OK. Caitlin and Isabelle shared some bacon with me!

| Early morning, fisherman in the background. |
We washed the dishes, examined the damage from the raccoons. (Two beer cans punctured- they loved them and put punctures in the water filtration bag. Note to self: put everything fragile in the tent!)
Everyone was going to the beach.
First up: get dressed, brush teeth, pack up lunch, assemble in the canoes.

| Water and sand play - nothing better |

| Isabelle is so happy she did a headstand or 'Downward Dog', happy as a clam! |

| Mother/daughter moments |

While we prepare for beach time,
the girls play by the water.
Caitlin took these photos with my camera. |
 |
| All done for the day. |
 |
| Push harder, Isabelle! |
 |
| Bug watching |
I took Sir John home, but first we popped into the Visitor's Centre.
 |
| Au revoir! |

Looks like a great time.
We used to go camping in wonderful, remote, and primitive spot but it has since been 'discovered' by campers who seem determined to turn it into a KOA campground. Fine if that's what you want, but why tear up a primitive campsite to do it?
So much fun! They kids look so happy!
Great way to tell us about your outing.
