My First Algonquin Male Moose

This is the first photo I've taken of a male moose in Algonquin park after many, many years!

It was taken around 10:30 am on HWY 60 near the entrance of the Portage Store on Canoe Lake

Starting to see Fall Colours

Here's a tree that's right out our window near the lake at Beauview. It is usually one of the first maples to turn colour. You can see some fall colour changes sporadically throughout our area.

The Fall Colours report can be found at : Algonquin Park's website

Water Trampoline and the Iceberg Waterslide

The Iceberg Waterslide and the Water trampoline were put away for the winter today.
My brother Rick came over to help.
I was hoping not to get wet by using the motor boat but my brother came in his shorts so I couldn't disappoint him! I let him get wet and nice slimy under the water trampoline to unhook it from the anchor. He 's not stupid. (and he must have heard me laughing) He made me get under the iceberg and get slimy too!

I wanted to share the very scientific way we get the air out of them before they get rolled up and put away. We opened the air valves and jumped on them spread eagle, over and over again. No kids around to help, so we just had to do this ourselves!

USA Today - Ontario Resorts for Couples

USA TODAY TRAVEL just released an article about Ontario Resorts for Couples. The Beauview Cottage Resort was one of three that were written up in the article.

One Correction: we do not offer meals.

The cottages are self catering. They have kitchens with stove, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and all the pots and pans, dishes. Gas BBQ grill on the deck. And you don't have to cook. A number of restaurants are closeby.

Teenager Grossed Out by Skinny Dipper on Lake of Bays

After the rain storm passed last night, it was a great time for a kayak ride before dark. Dave and his family went out past Langmaids Island and into Whiskey bay. They saw no other boats or people around until they came around a corner and saw a swimmer. The swimmer saw them just as he was getting out of the water. (sans bathing suit)

Gross! was the teen's reaction.

I should note that one of the perks of staying at a cottage is that you can swim naked if you choose. For some its a right. And no one will call the cops!
