2023 Fantasy in the Forest - getting there

Fantasy in the Forest – Part 1

It was an hour's drive, but so worth it. They do a show on Sept. 2nd and 3rd, as well. This is an amazing drive, through cottage country. JB is the driver, while I do the drive-by shootings. There were lots of cyclists in the early morning. We left at 9-ish!

Pike Lake Bunkies – there was a fire here. A man had bought the land, and built a huge fence of stacked wood. It looks as if it has sold.

This I found humorous!

Everything is growing, some brown, though.

I like coming around a corner and seeing spots of colour.

We arrived around 10 a.m. and there seemed to be a lot of cars. We were directed to park, and then w hopped on a shuttle bus to go the last 1.4 km to the site. Parking is tight. They have had 4000 visitors in the past!

By the time we left, we were there an hour, it was packed. This is the lineup for the bus. 

The parking on other side of the road was filling up!

I'll include a map, since it was an epic event. I know our teen grandies would love it. They have another show in September, as well.

The kids are in Newark, due to leave for Singapore July 18th, about 8:30. They took an uber into the city since they had an overnight layover. 

This is how they packed for the trip. They won't be home until August! Great excitement.

Stewart Park Music Festival July 14 - 16th

We are not music festival goers. The standing, or the sitting, doesn't do us any good. What we like about our local festival is that it is free, and we can wander in this beautiful setting. 

This would have been packed with concert goers by later in the day. We popped through Friday afternoon at 2, and the music began at 3. 

My regular blog readers will recognize Stewart Park. During COVID and summer Gramma camps, Grampa would take them for afternoon walks here.

It's been quite hot, and later in the day lots of kids were swimming in The Tay!

Check out the tree trunk!

Our Ottawa kids are off on an adventure. They are part way to Newark where they have a 23-hour layover prior to hopping on a plane to Singapore on the 18th. Stay tuned for more. The adventure begins!
