Summer Vacation Time


August 15-16, 2020

The Bowman boys have been busy with summer activities.  With their parents and some other biking families they visited a parc régional,in  Quebec: Vallée Bras-du-Nord: https://www.valleebrasdunord.com/ near Quebec City for several days, the first week of August.  They report excellent biking trails.  Unfortunately, they also experienced a heavy rainstorm which made a river they had to cross with their car and their “new to them” Boler trailer very challenging.  They made it!


On August 15 the boys and Boots set off for a few days at the cottage, starting with a picnic near Bouchette.  At the cottage, Barbara noted that her shoes and the boys’ shoes were close in size to hers! Soon everyone was busy swimming, tubing, and cooking over the campfire. 


















The boys mixed up and cooked the ingredients to make ice cream.


Kirk and Karine arrived with the Boler and soon had it set up for sleeping that night.







After breakfast the next morning, Grandpa took the K&K family out in the boat to look for eagles and a baby loon and then do some fishing. Sam was happy to hold up a very large bass they caught.










The it was time for lunch on the beach, for Grandpa’s annual homemade ice cream cones and for some more water fun (note that the water gun belongs to Uncle Craig).






The next morning two loons and a gull greeted us on the water and the neighbour’s puppy Maddie came over to visit.



Overall, it was a very enjoyable family visit.
