We are home from the beautiful country of Canada. So happy to be home!
We had a great time.
Quick summary of our trip:
It was freezing cold and rainy the first couple days. Me and Adam never left the cabin. We had cabin fever for sure!
We had two cabins close together which was nice.
They had several bear sitings at the camp ground. I was paranoid. Glad they never came to my cabin!
We ate fish- a lot of fish. I didn't want to eat it and didn't think I would like it. It was quite the opposite. It was wonderful and fun to think it had been caught right before we ate it. I am pretty fished out now... the thought of it makes me kind of sick. :)
Adam loved the ducks. Him and Brett were the best of friends. Every time he saw Brett he said quack quack- bye bye and stood by the door. It was funny. He loved them!
We went blueberry picking one afternoon. It was fun. We found a lot of fresh blueberries that had never been touched by anyone before. Talking about organic!

We went to a local dump one day to see the bears. There were wild and not caged in. The trash people were used to tourists visiting the bears- they even had a sign for us. There were about 17 huge bears walking around. They were fat and lazy. I wasn't planning on getting out of the car but everyone else did and I thought I should get in the picture to prove I was actually there. I ran to the car as fast as I could and just watched them. Everyone else got too close for comfort. I'm glad we did it though!
The weather ended up being beautiful towards the end of the week. I loved having no humidity! I miss it already. :)
There was a guy who worked on the campgrounds that had the strongest Canadian accent I had ever heard. It's so funny. Him and a lot of the Canadians say "eh" a lot. I could of listened to them all day. :)
Talking about a small world....they called the camp "little Iowa". There were several Iowans there which was crazy to me. I talked to a couple of guys who were from around this area and they even bought their truck from the dealership I used to work at! So weird! I love small worlds. :)

One day we had a shore lunch which was fun. We took our freshly caught fish and cooked and ate them on the little island. Quite a fun experience.
The car ride home was long, very long. Adam remembered what it was like I think because he wasn't all that great. The ride up was much better.
As much fun as I had, I don't think I will take Adam and our future children on a trip like that again. It wasn't all that relaxing with him. There wasn't a lot for him to do which was hard. I think we will try that trip again in a few years when our kids are older.
That being said, I'm so happy we went and experience Canada and the beauty of it all. I enjoyed catching the fish. I didn't catch a ton, but enjoyed what I did do.
I posted some pictures... but there are a lot more. Take a look at my facebook if you don't have it already. :)

I'd already seen your pictures on FB but am glad you have your blog to share more details. I remember what it's like to travel with a toddler. Nope, not fun! But I'm glad you see the good with the bad.
