Day 3 - Campground activities and Payne's Pine trail in Algonquin Park
The campers managed to squeeze in a little canoe ride with Sammy and playing ring toss with Christopher. After lunch Oma stayed with Christopher for his nap while the rest headed off to nearby Algonquin Park to hike the Payne's Pine trail which was pretty, but buggy. When we got back to the park we all spent the rest of the afternoon at the beach.
The bunny came to see Sammy but she was still fast asleep.
A sunny morning at the campsite.
Oma, Opa and Sammy prepare for a canoe ride.
Christopher and poppa play at the campsite.
Rubby plays ring toss with Christopher. Christopher gets to be the peg.
Hello bug!
Hey, why is Christopher suddenly crying...?
Captain Sammy keeps a lookout as Opa steers the ship.
Oh, oh! Pirate Rubby has taken over the ship!
Enjoying the lake view.
Christopher found a dime, and he's quite proud of it.
Rubby and Samantha put up the big tent.
Sammy takes a rest after all that hard work.
Hmmm, those two look like they are up to something!
Samantha falls asleep before we even make it to the trailhead.
More schwammerl!
Payne's Pine trail.
A beautiful view...
A loon on the lake.
It was a toad, not a frog. So we didn't kiss it.
Hmmm, could that be Payne's pine over there?
Indian pipe.
Samantha is a good leader and finds the trail back to the car.
A quick stop for gas on the way back to the campground.
In the meantime Christopher and Oma have been busy with their campsite creations.
A *big* hole!!!
Happy as a clam.
Who are these stick in the muds?
Christopher on his never-ending quest to fill the hole with water.
Maybe it would be easier to fill with sand.
Yup... that's working better!
Christopher goes to see what Samantha is up to.
Hey, Christopher is in the lake! Take the picture quickly before he comes back out!
Here's the real fish of the family!
Samantha would stay in the water all day if we let her.
