The last two weekends were sweet - one was a boys camping trip in Ivy Lea Provincial Park, the other a houseboat trip in the Thousand Islands region.
The boys' weekend was to cheer up a friend of our friend in Ottawa, who just got divorced. Let's just say that many alcoholic beverages were consumed, and many-a-story was told. It was a great weekend away in a beautiful region.

So 6 of us continued that theme the next (long) weekend - ie in the beautiful region of Thousand Islands, not a boys' drunken 'cheering up the divorced guy' camp - this time taking a houseboat (it is basically a caravan with pontoons, an outboard motor and steering) up and down the St Lawrence River. It was an awesome time, relaxing, fishing, swimming, eating, and playing the harmonica and guitar (I'm getting sick of pasting periods and w's, so will end each sentence with an exclamation mark - I will just paste the w's)! One of our friends (Pam a school teacher), made some awesome food during the week to bring on the trip, and we ere all given a printed menu that included every meal - which I will upload to this blog once I take a picture of it (UPDATE: some of the menu pages are below - click on them for a larger image)! The R&R was good, but reality hit on the Tuesday, as we were back at work - not quite the same ;( Also everyone was still swaying on dry land the next day - I guess it takes time to get your sea legs eh! Oh yeah, we think we spotted Michael Campbell, when we filled up the boat at a water gas station - he was on a nice looking cruiser with his wife!
The pics below show how beautiful and relaxing the time on the boat was:

I'm getting sick of pasting double u's, so you ill just have to ork it out (or spellcheck ill correct it)!
Mum, Dad, the car is ready for the long journey coming up! Just had it serviced, and had 4 tires replaced (costly, but needed to be done - as putting it off until one of the tires ble, but Miriam advised against it ;))!
