Today was such an exciting day! When we woke up, we had oatmeal for breakfast, and went swimming. While swimming, Mom and Dad stopped putting the tent away to watch us for a little while. While they were watching us, Sydney noticed something, she said "Mom!!! Dad!!! The tent is flying away!!!". Sure enough, the tent would have been across the beach if it hadn"™t gotten caught on the cattails. We packed up the canoe and went back to the spot where we saw the pike and the sucker. We cast our rods in and nothing bit that day, but it...
Today we went to Quetico Provincial Park and tried our camping and canoeing gear out. We loaded our canoe with all the equipment and paddled out in French Lake.

We had a nourishing breakfast and spent a good lot of time on their trampoline. We had such a wonderful, fun, time there, and I hope we end up seeing them again before we go back home. That night we reached Jackfish Bay and went to "Jackfish Cottages" for the night. Our good friends, Brenda and her parents, Shirley and Jack, own the place and they had a little restaurant there....
