Saturday, July 1st, 2017
We had no real plans.  I figured we would have the usual, “What do you want to do?” conversation this weekend. I was watching other people plan camping and canoeing trips, but we had opted to stay close to home.  There are quite a few Canada Day celebration activities planned in this area so off we went Saturday morning.

Ant Kingdom (The nickname for our campsite)

This past weekend, we did a little family overnight canoe trip into Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park.  The last time we ventured into this park was for a weekend in 2015 where we went into Wolf Lake then Crab lake.  It’s actually hard to believe it’s been almost 2 years since we have gone back. Mainly due to the fact that we have been camping and finding adventures in many other locations.
