| Happy girl! |

| Ontario Parks - a back pack of beach fun - nothing better. (A gift from Grampa!) |
Grampa went into town early and picked us up buns and lunch meat. Gramma made sandwiches.
There were surprises in the bag. Chocolate milk was a big treat!
We love visiting our provincial park.
Lots to see and do.
The park interpreters do a fine job, too.
We learned about an invasive species, the Rusty Crayfish, from Brock, one of our student employees. Friends of Murphys Point Park receive government grants in Student Employment Opportunities. Most are entering university as biologists, or related fields. It is important that we nurture these young scientists. My daughter, M.Sc., is a hydrogeologist.
I always like to learn something new, being an avid science teacher (JK - Gr. 6) in my previous life, I realize how much there is to learn!
The kids still talk about touching Nameless Ratsnake in the park Visitor Centre.
Isabelle (2) loves to pretend to find a snake, (a piece of black ribbon?) and pretend to be scared. But she remembers touching the snake, as does big sister, Josephine.
My daughter sent the photos to their Day Care provider, who doesn't like snakes! All it is - is education!
Meantime, back to our day:
The beaches are clean and well-groomed in our park. We had a grand time splashing. Nice, safe, buoys to keep the kids in close. However, Isabelle kept falling, and walking out deeper. "Me deep!"
Isabelle's story: Grampa bought me some chocolate milk for our picnic at Murphys Point Park Beach. I couldn't put it down. I love my Grampa! He spoils me!
