camping! (lots of photos)

We had a really great time camping in Winnipeg Beach, at the provincial park. We got back Friday night and, it seems, just at the right time - the weather has turned cool and rainy, forecast to last all week, but we had sunny and hot days every day while away!
The campground was really nice - not woody and private like we are used to at the nearby park, but very nice with lots of grass for the kids to play on. (yet they prefer the rocks. always!)

We had left here on Monday, arrived and set up there around supper time, but had time afterwards to walk around the town - everything is within easy walking distance. We decided to go to the zoo on Tuesday as it was the coolest day forecast for the week.
outside the butterfly house - Levi's favorite exhibit!

all the kids in dinosaur eggs - I have photos of Ruth and Zech (ages 2 and 8 months) in these same eggs!
The rest of the week we spent most of every day at the beach. This is a lake, but you would swear it was the shore - minus the salty smell and taste.

Levi had just thrown a rock and accidentally hit Ruth - he was saying "sorry" here

the boys loved building castles just where the highest waves would hit

Definitely a fun week had by all, and definitely somewhere that we'll plan to go back to again next year - we'd love to stay a full week or more there next time!
