Ya, to family walk!

Today we hiked the Lower Rapids trail at Rushing River Provincial Campground. It was beautiful!  The rocks from the Canadian shield and the endless number of lakes and rivers make this place pretty spectacular. Every now and then we stopped just to take in the scenery and be amazed.  It was the same feeling yesterday when we had our own private beach at Dogtooth Lake (Parker calls it Dog Toot Lake).  It's a lake at the top of the river that is surrounded by rocks and islands that even the kids could swim out to.  It was so peaceful and serene.  I can't do it justice with the pictures.

Greg decides to swim across the lake with the kids...

This is what Parker and I do while they are swimming...

This is the lake, the falls are just on the other side of the orange things... it so cool!

I must have something in my ear...

Attempt number one for a family photo...where are Gracie and Sawyer??

Attempt number two.  I cut off Parker's head and my eyes are closed!  Seriously!

 I was reminded of how special this time is with our kids and I'm trying to soak it up.  Like Parker said to me yesterday, " you don't say no to family walk, you say ya to family walk".  So instead of doing the dishes or cleaning up the trailer- I say yes to family walk. 

Incidentally, Greg is also saying yes to family walk ... And today he brought home his first uninvited guest. That's right mom- Greg found a tick on his leg.   Now, I happen to be a tick expert (okay, I read an article online) and this was not the Lyme disease carrying kind.   We saved it just in case- and for this picture.   Gross huh!!!  Sorry, the tic picture is not meant to be...and I know you all wanted to see one.  Google it.  We are still having some technical difficulties.

Don't worry Greg hasn't shown any signs...yet...
