This trip was a little different for us. This trip the boys got a head start on celebrating the last day of school along with the first day of summer. Friday was a PA day here, which means Hayden is home from school, but I am still required to be at work. That gave way for plans on having my boys get a night out on their own, and I would join them after work on Friday.
Lakeview Trail
It’s great when my parents visit and the weather cooperates. This year we were able to spend the time outside on more than one occasion. The first was taking my mom up and down the Moira River in our canoe, and today was a family event where we hiked the Lakeview Trail at Sandbanks Provincial Park.
Winter Hikes In Algonquin
During our stay in Algonquin Park over New Year’s, we love having the opportunity to go out exploring. This year we decided on visiting the falls near Mew Lake on the Highland Backpacking trail and the falls on the Track and Tower trail. Notice a theme here? We went searching for waterfalls.
New Years in a Yurt
Have you ever winter camped in a yurt?
Last year I convinced my crew to go winter camping in a yurt at Algonquin Provincial Park during the new year celebrations. This year we did a repeat and spent 3 nights at Mew Lake. I will give you some tips and tricks on how to enjoy winter camping in a yurt and a little bit of what it is like during this time of year.
