Last night we camped at Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. It's a pretty cool park at the end of a tiny peninsula that juts out into Lake Superior. Our campsite was right on this lake (Marie Louise Lake) in the middle of the peninsula. It was beautiful. The kids loved it, they could throw stones, boulders, sticks, our fly swatter (NO, PARKER) into the lake right from our campsite. Greg and I loved it. It's a really peaceful, serene feeling when you sit at your campfire and look out over the lake. We watched ducks and ducklings swim by. On Greg's run he saw fox kits and a deer. 
The bugs also loved it! We aren't sure what they were, some type of small black bug we think, but by the end of the day, our children were bleeding. It was a little concerning. This was Parker's ear...
The thing about camping in June during the week is that it is also really quiet. Eerily quiet sometimes. Like this day we spent at the beach in Sleeping Giant...

Just outside of Thunder Bay we stopped at the Terry Fox monument. It's not far from where Terry Fox had to stop his run across Canada and even I had a moment where I was a little moved by his accomplishments.
