29 Jul The Lakes

Today we kept driving and driving and driving. Up ahead was a lake called “Two Moose Lake”. Sydney asked, “Mom, is there gonna be two moose in Two Moose lake?”

“I’m not sure.” said Mom.

We finally reached Two Moose lake. It didn”™t have much, just some info boards. But as we looked into the bushes, we saw a few figures, 2 of them, they were 2 moose! We were stunned to see Sydney’s wish had come true.

After shooting some footage, we also saw some little sandpipers swimming away without a care in the world.

We continued our drive until we ended up at another lake: Chapman permafrost lake. Permafrost means a layer of the earth so far below the surface of the earth stays permanently frozen. That’s why the lake stays there; it doesn”™t sink into the ground all way .

We had much fun that day, canoeing all over the place, we even saw 2 loons who seemed to be very annoyed by us. We also went fishing and got a few nibbles, but the grayling didn”™t stay on the hook. Later we saw a trumpeter swan, which swam away from us at first sight.

Before going back to the RV, we went swimming in the permafrost lake. It wasn”™t even that cold!

We had a very exciting day, and Dad had even started another painting!
