For the fourth of July we decided to avoid the craziness in the states and head over to a highly recommended park in Canada called Pinery Provincial Park. It was only about a 2-3 hour drive and crossing back and forth across the border turned out to be a breeze.
We have quite the system down now for packing, setting up, food, and everything that goes along with camping. This year, I'm sharing a wing with Hannah, Daddy's sleeping in another wing, and Timmy's in a mini-pack'n'play in place of where the table should be set up.

Timmy had a ball riding around in his stroller and playing with his toys. 
We asked around on the 4th of July about fireworks. It turns out that it was Canada's birthday so they were having a show in Grand Bend to celebrate. Earlier in the day we tried to drive up to this little beach town, but it was SWAMPED. We turned around and headed back to the campground. We decided to take our chances and hang out on the beach until dark. We ended up having great seats for the fireworks that took place just off the shore to the north of us.
We explored a few of the beaches at the park. The first one we went to (area 3) was beautiful and sandy. The second one we went to was very rocky and didn't have much of a shore (Burley). It was HOT, HOT, HOT, and if Timmy was a bit older we probably would have spent more time at the beach.
He took his first dip in a lake and he didn't like it too much.
So he hung out in a little tent on the beach with mommy.
On Saturday night, there was a huge thunder and lightning storm. We decided to take shelter in the car because the lighting was striking the ground quite frequently. Once the storm moved through the temperatures cooled off a bit and it was much more tolerable.We came home one day early. Mommy had had enough camping. Three nights is about my max! LOL It was a beautiful campground, but very, very busy and spread out. Perhaps when the kids are a little older it might be fun to return. A lot of areas were accessible by bike, but Timmy is too little to ride in the trailer.
