We're both still managing cold symptoms. Mine is in my sinuses, Joe cannot hear, even with his hearing aids. Nothing to do but treat symptoms, and try to relax. 🎾 Tennis didn't help. Our Canadians aren't achieving up to their potential!
Our Ottawa kids are canoe camping in Algonquin Park. They plan on swimming, canoodling, visiting a couple of lakes, and having a grand time. Tuesday I was watching the weather. A storm rolled in, a north/south system, moving east.
The kids launched at 
Achray Campground. We are in Lanark County. The clouds rolled in during the afternoon.
There was some lightning, but not a great deal. This is a good thing.
Sunday, they grabbed their canoe and then headed on south to a portage, and then east along another lake. And another portage. They are really good at it, freeze drying foods, planning the menu, fitting food into the bear resistant container. They knew the rain would come. I'm sure they put tarps over their cooking area.
There is another storm on the way today. I hope the kids aren't soaked. They are experienced campers, however.

I was looking back at summer, beach time photos. This is Isabelle, now known as Aster, in Muskoka. She is 14 now. 😜😝😅

Comparing old kiddie photos to the way they are now is fun. Sorry you are having so much trouble with the colds. We. had a lot of rain yesterday too.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Great photos of the kids and I like the Pewee! Take care, enjoy your day!
The lake shots look like fun was had by all, but I also like the bird-watching you can do now and that view from your deck.
I'd rather be sitting on your deck than out is a storm in Algonquin. Time to relax.
Thanks fro the nice comment today.
I love the little drawing. You did a great job. I sure admire those that go kayaking and canoeing. It seems so relaxing and peaceful. I can't swim, so I've never tried either. Prayers for your kiddos safety. I hope they do have a fun filled, and safe trip.
What nice photos from the past, when the grands were little and you had that great canoe! Love the bag, and kudos to you for starting to draw again. Great idea. Looking forward to your creativity.
What a day of tennis that was. At least Leylah and Bianca made a good go of it. But the only guy to advance was a guy who I don't yet know -- Diallo.
That is a cool bag! I sure hope you both feel better very soon. Aloha to your family
It is decades since I have canoed. I wonder why?
Impressed with your kids being experienced canoers. Me, I'd do three or four miles and then lets head back to the cabin and go to the brewery.
I love how you keep yourself busy. You can't do what you used to do so you do what you can. Like me and my running. I don't run any longer but I walk and my total milage is not that much different from when I ran.
Nothing wrong with looking back at the good old days. I like your stories about family.
I hope they didn't get the same rain we did!
