We had a great time and the weather just kept getting warmer as the week-end progressed. We reached a high of 16C on Sunday and enjoyed every minute of it.
We took a trip up to Goderich on Saturday morning to get our last dozen donuts until next year. While we were there we lucked out and were able to watch them plant the first new tree in the square. They had flatbed trucks full of trees to unload and plant. This I am sure will help to bring back some of the beauty that the tornado destroyed last year. On our trip back to the park we came across horses pulling a carriage in Grand Bend to help with there Christmas celebration. When we got back to the park we enjoyed a 15 km bike ride through the park. At one point I had to slam on my brakes as a deer went running past in front of me. What a surprise that was! We enjoyed another wonderful campfire that evening. It amazes me how the flicker of a fire can keep you mesmerized for hours at a time. I will certainly miss our time in front of the fire this winter.
Sunday was a quiet day at camp. Duncan made a wonderful breakfast and I enjoyed my time with all of the parks creatures that came to visit. We had to head home by 2 since it gets dark so early now. Another week-end full of many pleasures.
