Dad on the GO Train 

We're off to the Islands!!!

On Sunday we are loading Dad, his scooter, our bikes, cameras, and food onto the GO train and we are going down to Toronto Islands. We will meet the kids down there for a day of fun and revelry....well, actually for a picnic under the trees on the shores of Lake Ontario. Dad will be able to get around on the scooter, which is better than having him sitting around at home in front of the idiot box all day!

Watch this space for the next exciting episode!

Killarney Provincial Park

In 1999 we planned a trip to Northern Ontario to go on the train trip to the Agawa Canyon. On the way up we stayed for 3 nights at Killarney Provincial Park. The first 2 nights were lovely and the daytime weather was spectacular. The third night was awful. It started raining in the evening and then we were hit by a tremendous storm. I am terrified of lightening and it was very scary to be in a tent with thunder and lightening. I buried myself inside the sleeping bag and eventually went to sleep. In the morning it was still raining and there was quite a lot of water inside the tent! We decided to pack up and leave, and after falling out of the tent into a muddy puddle, I decided that I would NOT camp in a tent again, and we haven't.

We travelled up to Sault Ste Marie and stayed in a log cabin at the local KOA. It was lovely and warm and dry!
