This is the second installement of three about our fun trip. This one is all about the elements... Fire and Water.
We were so excited to have a bonfire. We would get to have 'smores' a summertime treat. But as you can see from this picture- one of my favourites... we were covering our heads and bodies with hoodies because of the enormous amounts of mosquitoes. They were giant, and hungry and there were soooo many. Gaetane and Melanie have the sweetest blood because they got devoured!
Melanie and Nicolas posing in front of the giant bonfire. I know... Melanie is so 'hot' right?
Here we are all posing and tolerating the mosquitoes. The fire was so hot... I couldn't get close enough to roast a marshmallow.
... but Nicolas was brave enough and laid on the ground for me and 'burnt' one up for me... we did use some extra dark chocolate.... but heck... this was a treat, one that Nicolas went to battle for me and so I enjoyed it with bliss!
Onto the water fun now. We spent a day at this most beautiful clear lake in the middle of nowhere just 15 minutes north of their home. It's aptly called Lac Clair. There's my gorgeous girl sitting on the clear lake, not fearing anything because you could see everything.
We walked into the lake for quite a while before it hit our knees, and it was so soft, you didn't even need lake shoes for the 'yuk' factor.
So clear, look you could see the bottom and do you see what's there? A little tadpole and we weren't even freakin' out... it was all part of nature.
What was so amazing was that this beautiful clear sand and water beach was basically deserted. Such peace and beauty... you never would have believed it. Nothing like this would ever happen around here in the GTA.
See, deserted! There was one other family and us! Heaven on Earth! I told them that I wanted to buy a house right on the water and live there forever... well except for their brutal winter time...
