Beach Time

 

 

Having a really neat day at about 75 degrees and beautiful we decided to take the kids up to Wasaga Beach. Wasaga is about 20 miles to our northwest and is advertised to be "the longest freshwater beach in America."

 

Jo-Anne spent a lot of time there during the times her dad was stationed at CFB Borden. They would rent a cottage at Wasaga and she has many memories of this beach ... only then you could drive a car down the hard packed sand and park it where you wanted to enjoy the sun and sand as a teenager.

 



 

Here's Ev in his glory using dad as a springboard to leap into the clear fresh water of Georgian Bay. The water doesn't get more than waist deep for more than 300 yards out into the bay ... really cool unless you want to swim of course. Hey no jellyfish!

And then pop and the kid creating some neat sand castles.

Until Brooks finds out how gravity works and goes feet over head in the shallow water ... fun!

Then I thought I'd try the zoom feature on the camera as Ev was quite a long distance from the shore ... again only a few feet deep but a long way out from us but clear in his moose floater.

 

And then as Brooks kept saying, "Its sooo cold .... cold ... so cold!"

Yep, they, or whatever you are looking at do shrink up in the cold water!
