Ipperwash Beach!




Being an invalid means I pretty much sat here the whole time! It was hot! I finally got to feel some of Ontario's hot weather.


This is a picture of Ipperwash Beach at Lake Huron. This past Saturday we drove out there to see what kind of camp ground areas were around there. It took us a little over an hour to get there, but really not too long a drive at all. I have never seen the any of the Great Lakes before and it really is amazing how BIG they are.



Chris and the boys enjoying the water. I zoomed in and they are still quite far out.
Sarah sitting on the beach. I forgot her swim suit. Next time we will be more prepared.



The sand was quite fine and soft. Some places were packed down quite a bit. The water's edge was quite shallow for good distance into the water. This of course let Jacob go out quite far, which he liked. Thankfully Daddy doesn't have a broken foot!



We did not come to the beach well prepared but the kids loved it. The water was quite warm. I thought It was way warmer than in Penticton. I went in to go cool of and was preparing myself for the Skaha Lake shock but that didn't happen here. I like that feature. Sarah likes it too. We had a fun day together as a family, but quiet. Where were our camping friends!? No Uncles or Aunties to start water fights ! I missed you all and wish you could have been at this beautiful beach with us!

OK I just looked over at Sarah and she has officially rolled over on to her tummy for the first time! Wow that happened fast! She is just four months old! For the last few weeks she has rolled to her side but not all the way over until just today!

I love that area and the lake. Now you're starting to see what people from Ontario miss in Alberta...real lakes, with trees and warm water! And you don't need to drive 9 hours to get there!

How true! Who would have thought these giant lakes were actually warm, and the sand around them so soft. Can you recommend any other places for us to try out?

Yeah Sarah! She is looking older too. We would have loved to have been there. How's the foot feeling?

In the complete opposite direction you can try Sandbanks Provincial Park...but it can be kind of windy! Same type of setting though and the sand is like silk!
