Over a week ago we were in the middle of our holidays in the beautiful Kawartha Lakes area of Ontario. Being 2 1/2 hours away by car is different from flying to a far-flung island, but it was a good holiday spent with family and some time on our own as well. I’ll be spreading this holiday over several posts, so stay tuned.

We arrived at Grandview Resort on Buckhorn Lake on the 10th of July mid-afternoon, in time to relax a bit and get settled in before the supper hour.

I’d bought a new game for our granddaughters to play and here we are playing Word Bingo

One of our first outings was a boat ride across the lake to their favourite ice cream place, for a treat. Oops, one child’s ice cream cone hit the dirt and her Mom shared her cone. The ice cream was yummy!

After ice cream and clean-up, we posed for a picture before heading back to the boat.

Papa looking where we’re going. Wearing our life jackets too.

And the boat ride back to the resort.
