Me and the older two girls took a 3-day trip to Bon Echo park in Ontario. It can get get kind of buggy this time of year, so we didn't bring Lucie along. The mosquitos were bad in places, but nothing that a little Deep Woods Off (or anyone whose hunted during teal season on the Gulf Coast) couldn't handle.
The park surrounds Mazinaw Lake (the second deepest lake in Ontario). There are actually quite a few Algonquin petroglyphs on the mountains that go into the lake, but you can only see them by canoe, and we were unable to rent canoes due to COVID-19.
Nevertheless, the water was refreshing, so we swam quite a bit.
The chipmunks at Bon Echo were also very friendly.
The girls used the fallen timber to practice their balancing skills.
Maggie was a little more daring.
Fallen logs also present a good opportunity to practice your jump-kicks.
The girls braved the mosquitos long enough to go for a few nice hikes around some of the many lakes in the park.
Maggie also crafted this colorful bouquet out of the wild flowers.
And of course, dad found time to enjoy some scotch by the camp fire.
