School is back after a ten week summer vacation. We have managed to do a lot of what Ontario and Quebec has to offer and I guess we've been busy and not blogging!! We feel as though we have travelled many miles but when you look at a map the trips we have done barely cover a few fingers width!! We have discovered that Canadians think nothing of a four hour car trip to their cottage for the weekend!
So, the first trip we did was a camping trip with our friends John and Kathy and Nathan and James to one of their regular favourite summer hideouts at Palmer Rapids. This trip was one of Daniel's favourite for the summer -mainly the camping (OK, we had the camper trailer and it was pretty comfy), rope tieing, and being chief fire lighter.
We had a couple of car hiccups, but met a new friend who let us swim in his pool while we awaited car assistance on Hwy 10, 999 or something. He also happened to train animals for movie roles and had a resident Raccoon which kept us entertained. We eventually got to Palmer Rapids -about a six hour drive, and the weather was kind to us for most of the week. We had a great time jumping off a rock in the middle of the river in to some gentle rapids and paddling canoes. If you ever get to Palmer Rapids, we've heard the cafe there has a great Red Squirrel Pie!
