Silent Lake

We ventured out to Silent Lake Provincial Park last weekend, wanting to take advantage of at least one camping trip before summer was officially over. It is a beautiful park and we enjoyed perfect weather! Here is a snapshop of some of our activities at, shhhhhhhhhhh, Silent Lake.

We set up camp and did some reading.

We canoed around the lake, taking in the lush green scenery, smooth water, and peaceful surroundings.

We built campfires and roasted marshmallows. Yum!

Kelly whittled.

Until next time...

In Summary

These last few photos could not be omitted from our last moments with Curtis & Jill. First, Jill & I made cherry perogies the Czech way (known as Cherry Verenyky). And the boys stuffed themselves full!

Second, we mini-golfed. Despite spending some time in the bush, I believe Curtis came out on top! Taking golf in university has obviously paid off :o)

Finally, no visit to Ottawa is complete without a visit to The Works, Ottawa's custom burger joint, where there are, apparently, over 400 ways to make a burger "your way!" It was a treat!

Thanks for coming to visit, you two!

More Fun, Cont'd

What can we say? Perfect summer weather followed us wherever we went! We did a 5km hike (a good portion was quite steep!) up Chutes de Lusk in Quebec (Lusk Waterfalls). It was beautiful and the lookout at the top was well worth the effort!

Stopping to view the backside of Parliament across the Ottawa River came prior to making our last destination of the day: the Governor General's residence. Curtis & Jill make two comedial guards!
