Clovermead Adventure Farm

One weekend in June, we had planned to go away to the beach for the weekend but the weather did not cooperate. Still we headed out for a day trip, that ended up being a good day despite the clouds, wind and change in plans. Clovermead Adventure Farm is a bee apiary with farm activities to keep you buzzzy (ha ha) after you've checked out the bees. The best place to see the bees was in the washroom where behind the glass wall hundreds of bees were working in the honeycombs. The kids enjoyed the zip line, hay bale jump and rubber duck races that made up the adventure farm. We then made our way to Port Stanley for some fish and chips, yummy. We were going to let the kids play on the beach, even though it was too rough for swimming, but it was too cold and blustery even for that. So our day trip was cut short, but it was still some nice family time during a hectic month.

It was in Bobcaygeon...

We've just recently returned from our vacation in Bobcaygeon. It was a great week with the Dhaens, Ripleys and Wilburs. Great meals, good weather, and excellent company. In no particular order these are some things I want to remember:
-birthday shots when I arrived
-beating Scott at Bolo to 100 points, by knocking his one point off to get 1-2-3 when he was almost at 100 and I was in the 80s
-morning walks with Karen and Jeannie
-Derek catching a fish
-going for a walk with Mitchell
-the emu biting Derek in Peterborough
-bolo balls stuck in the tree
-being pointless for too long
-the party raft
-watching Annette's slideshows at the the end of each day
-reading Blood Red Road
-GB Jeff and his cake
-Derek saying "here comes the finger licking part" at KFC
-friendship bracelets
-being coached for a cartwheel
-Owen giving Derek shoulder rides
-Mitchell swimming in the rough water with the other boys
