Sweet Pic's of Algonquin Park

This was a canyon in Algonquin Park that we went to with Kris' mom, sister, and bro-in-law, near Pembroke. It was pretty amazing - now I want to see the GRAND canyon! :o) Jubbie liked it too. ;o)

Creativity is Creeping in...

Just found a site that I had come across some time ago but had forgot the address for... check out http://www.etsy.com for all of you who like handmade stuff. Just looking at all the stuff gave me some good ideas and I feel a creative streak coming on! Sewing, knitting, painting, scrapbooking... time consuming but worth it!

Lake Superior Coastal Trail

As I mentioned in my last post, Kris went on a hiking trip on the Coastal Trail with our friends Dan & Caleb. Well, I went out to meet them for one day in my kayak and it ended up being so windy on the lake that Caleb kayaked my boat back for me and I hiked out with Dan and Kris. It was really hard even though it was only 2 hours... but the scenery was even more breathtaking than I had imagined. The water was so blue that it actually looked more beautiful than the Caribbean! Kris and I are hoping to go out for 3 more days on a kayaking trip before we both start school in September. I am so glad that Lake Superior is in our backyard!

I'm Back!

Finally, I arrive back! It was a heck of a summer. There were many good times with friends - new and old - but also many frustrating and trying times. It is discouraging when you do your best at something only to be scorned by someone else. Overall, when I sift the crap out of the good, it was an alright summer. My favourite part besides meeting new friends was just simply being outdoors basically 24/7. I know it will be hard for me to transition back to apartment life.

Kris is going on a 4 day backpacking trip with our new friends Caleb & Dan on the Lake Superior Coastal Trail. I was supposed to go on a kayaking trip while they were hiking but it fell through.... :o( So now I'm at home alone, watching MTV. Yay. Kris said that we could go on a kayaking trip at the end of August together - I hope he means it. And this coming weekend we are supposed to be going white water rafting in southern Ontario with Kris' mom & sister so I'm pumped about that... always wanted to try it. But I am somewhat nervous as well since my river experience in the Dominican.
