A day out with the kids

Well, me and the kids went for a day on Lake Erie. Long drive there, long drive back, but a lot of fun overall.

We ended up at Turkey Point Provincial Park, at the day-use beach. The kids got to try their snorkel gear.


Give a bone-head a weather-sealed camera, and see just how close he'll get to the water with it


As the day wore on, one of the "Turkeys" decided to pose


We opted to go into Port Dover for dinner and then check out the harbor. As luck would have it, there was one photo I could take without about 100 people in the background:


Cheers!

Clever of you to get the one shot possible without people, lol!

Looks like a fun spot to be.

It's a gift.

I think I'm going to do that trip again soon. There's a lot of different birds that I don't see often around here, so a road-trip is in order - the sort where I can pull over without anyone asking if we're there yet

I love trips like that.

Looks like everyone had a pretty good day!

Love your bird shot, and cute kids!

It was a blast. We did something similar last week, but went to Kincardine then. Either way, you can't go wrong with kids and a beach

Thanks!

Hmm, Kincardine, Turkey Point...keep it up and we'll use triangulation to figure out where you live...lol

Great pictures though, looks like teh kids had a blast.

I spent time up at Bruce Peninsula a couple years ago, loved it up there!!

Oh water = how beautiful! I really like the bird pic.

Neat !!! I love the great lakes !

LOL!

Thanks, Snip .

Thanks Barb
So do I . I'd love to be closer to them. It would make day-trips like this a lot more common.

Nice shots, really like the gull.
I've had friend who've been to turkey point and port dover, said it was great. I've never been though.

Thanks, Brandy.

It's well worth the trip down along Lake Erie. There's some beautiful countryside and no shortage of beaches. Besides, the water's a bit warmer than it is on Lake Huron right now.

No problem
I'd like to go that way one year, we always end up heading north east, Bancroft, Rice Lake, this year Eels Lake and such. The waters of Lake Erie always look so inviting though....
