Let the good times keep rolling

The beautiful sunny weather continued into the second half of our vacation and we enjoyed every little bit of it.  Jason's mom was able to come and join us for the last few days before we headed home and we tried to fill every minute with fun.  We had some lazy mornings but we had lots of adventures as well.

We headed out to Inglis falls, we hadn't been there for a few years but it is very accessible for Sophie.  We found some new trails too which we didn't have time for last visit.

 Lucas loved searching out the glacial potholes which are really awesome to discover in the woods.  We have hiked a few times closer to Tobermory in search of glacial potholes and it was kind of funny that we were so close to a cluster of them before and didn't even know it.  It is amazing how they are such perfect circles.

Sophie was able to join us on some of the trails here and she thoroughly enjoyed being wheeled around by her Oma with Lucas leading the way.  She was full of smiles, my girl is quite the adventurer.

It seems I can never get enough of exploring the Bruce Peninsula and luckily my family indulges my wishes for more hikes most of the time.

I hope that Lucas and Sophie will both always enjoy being out in the woods, hiking to who knows where.  It is definitely good for the body but even more I believe it is good for your being.

The next day we headed out to Oliphant, there is a great little accessible boardwalk nature trail through an old bog.  The bog is mostly dried up now as the water level of the bay has receded so much.  This area was fed by Georgian Bay even though it is right beside Lake Huron which is kind of odd.

Sophie, of course, had a fantastic time being with her peeps'. We could have been inspecting port-a-potty's that day and she would have been smiling.  She was just plain happy.

We went for a swim at the Oliphant beach and it was wonderful and warm.  A real switch from the cold water at our cottage.  The nights have been too cold (and the days too) for the deeper lake water to heat up, but by Oliphant the sandbar is huge.  So it was really nice that Sophie could go swimming in some warm water and the dog did too.  The shallow water is perfect for our little guy with the super short legs.

This is a Pitcher plant and it eats insects!  The bottom part of the plant is a place of doom lol!

The next day it was time to finish up our vacation and head home.  As we were driving through all the farm country we were gifted with a beautiful sunset.  Red, orange and pink all over.  It was an amazing end to a great week.
