The "Prettiest Little Town" was a great place to spend the weekend. It was busy in Goderich as they were hosting the Celtic Festival and there were quite a number of people there to enjoy the music. We decided not to attend as we were going to have company on Saturday. Ian, Brittany, Drew and Emma were coming to spend the afternoon at the beach and have supper with us. Saturday morning we went into town to pick up our order at the bakery before visiting the market to get some fresh veggies and corn on the cob for supper. When we arrived at the bakery they were lined up on the street to get in which had never happened when we were there before. I had a nice chat with a couple from Waterloo while waiting in line. After getting back to camp our guests arrived so we heading down to the beach. We ended up spending less time at the water as the clouds rolled in and it was getting cooler. Poor Emma was turning blue after spending some time in the water. She enjoyed playing in the sand more than being in the cool water. We had supper together before they headed back home. The corn was so good that most of us ate too much as we just had to have another one. Duncan and I went down to the beach to get sunset pictures and spent the rest of the evening by the campfire.
Sunday morning I went for a hike in the park before we enjoying toasted egg, bacon and tomato sandwiches for brunch. We packed up and headed to the beach. It was warm and sunny so it was a great way to spend a relaxing afternoon before heading home later in the day.

Bird on the right is a juvenile Cow Bird that is being fed by a Red-eyed Vireo.
Cowbirds often lay eggs in other birds nests and that bird raises them.

Happy Emma at the beach
Mesmerized by the sand flowing through her fingers
Seagull with it large catch
It was fun watching it trying to swallow it whole
Lake bottom through the calm waters
Sunset from the lake edge
Great use of nature to secure a tarp
Even with the clouds it was gorgeous
Hiking on the Farm Trail
Busy as a bee
Beauty in nature
Dragonfly keeping its eyes on me
Turkey Vulture soaring past
Sunday the lake was busy with boat traffic
