Wavy View

Through window first thing this morning

Our day started with an explore of the beach outside our house. It was cool and blustery and the waves were quite high. We walked along the beach until we hit a part that was almost cut off by water. The boys just paddled through, I tried to jump but landed in the water and Huffle danced around trying to assess whether he could jump it or not. Funnily enough we all got wet feet.

The kids climbed a high sand dune while Huffle and I watched on. We walked a long way and into the Provincial Park. It was a lovely stroll through a wooded area, along the lake. Every now and then we would peep out and make our way onto the beach (a more naturalised, rocky, wild beach).

Once our tummies started to rumble, we turned around and walked back. The lake had come in slightly and the jump was a little longer. I jumped too short and got very wet. The boys just paddled through again, in fact Smallest went in up to his bottom, Small wasn't far behind him.

It was a very good walk in which we assessed the beach for future outings (preferably when the weather gets better - note I said when, not IF!). The sun was poking out and it started to get warmer, in fact Huffle put his shorts and sandals on and took off his fleece.

We drove into Port Elgin, parked and found a place to eat. It was okay, not great but it did a job. We checked out the cinema to see what time Despicable Me2 was on ready for a rainy day, unfortunately it wasn't on. Has it finished already? After a peruse along the shops, we drove to Port Elgin's Harbour and Beach.

We wandered along the boardwalk, had a quick go of the swings and walked along the harbour wall, watching silly people jumping off the wall into the lake and watching the fishermen get their lines all tangled.

On the way home we popped into the supermarket again and then drove home. We passed some rain and some very dark clouds.

In the house we played Carcassonne and Sorry Revenge. Smallest blogged and Small journaled.

I love sitting looking at the lake and I don't think I would ever tire of this view.
