| The Dunes |
This past weekend Evelyn and I managed to get away and visit one of my favorite parks in Ontario, Sandbanks Provincial Park, it was a short visit just an overnighter but it was full of adventures with swimming , hiking dunes, canoeing , sunset walk on the beach , and a evening sitting around the fire pit roasting marshmallows !!.
The weather was sunny and HOT just perfect for spending the day by the water . The dunes spectacular as usual once again defeated our attempt of walking to the end of them , not because of the usual child that didn't want to walk anymore and thus had to be carried or dragged up and down the dunes , no this time Evelyn , Josh and I set out to give it a try but the HOT sand turned us back , I had never experienced it that hot that it actually was burning your feet sandals and all . We ended up heading for water and walked in it all the way back to the car .
Sandbanks is a smallish park on the south east coast of Prince Edward County a good three hour car ride from home, it’s beaches are probably the best in Ontario and the whole area is very picturesque and quaint , one can easily spend a week relaxing and exploring the region.
I have been visiting the park off and on for about twenty years now , my good friend Gill always books a campsite and takes the kids and whenever I can I’ll pop in for a visit , this year was special as all the kids where there and it was the first time I was able to introduce Evelyn to the wonders of this beautiful place, we had a great time and I mush extend a special thanks to Gill for her hospitality !!!
