When hubby dear asked me what I wanted to do for vacation this year, I said... why don't we head up north? We could go to Sudbury or something. He doesn't much like paying reservation fees so we headed up hoping for the best. In the process I did some browsing and learned there was only ONE site available so I reserved it... Like who wants to drive for eight hours to find nothing available???? We ended up at Halfway Lake Provincial Park. The roads up were under construction so that made a somewhat bumpy ride up,... but for a smooth ride home again. :)
Our site was located where you could see the road but that was really no mattering for us, we didn't hear the traffic all that much and besides...it didn't stop the red squirrels and Chipmunks from coming to see us.
First thing my son did once we got all set up was to make a minion play area. He spent a great deal of time with his minions. They made treasure spots and water towers and a house and a forest and just so many things. Working in the gravel was so much easier and more forgiving than digging in dirt. It worked really well for him. The minions LOVED their pond as well. :)
Normally I take a picture of how I set up my kitchen tent as well, as each year I do it differently as I seek to improve how to do it. BUT I failed to do that this year. One thing we added this year was a folding table. On that table I was able to put all our canned goods which makes it so easy to find what you are looking for and it doesn't attract wild animals to your site.
Here's a picture of some of the construction we needed to drive through. You do know we live in Ontario where we have two seasons... winter and construction. :)
