Last weekend Rob and I took a drive up to Grand Bend which is North West of Kitchener on the edge of Lake Huron. It is known for its beautiful sandy beaches and the warm waters of the lake and it definitely lived up to its reputation! The weather was great, nice and sunny with a strong breeze which made it deceptively cool. The water was amazingly comfortable and easy getting in and the waves were huge! They were bigger than any waves I’ve swam in at New River Beach and continuously pounded the shore line and everything (everyone) in the way. I have never seen Robbie have so much fun as he did that day. He must have spent a good 3-4 hours jumping and diving over the waves, he is like a fish! I also enjoyed the waves and I had piece of mind as there were no jelly fish, clumps of seaweed or other notable sea creatures to be seen which I have always been very conscious of when swimming on the beaches of PEI and NB. Despite this ease I could not compete with Robbie for time spent in the water and quite enjoyed reading a book on the beach. I am now suffering from a bad (both in severity and stupid looking) sun burn on my legs despite multiple sun screen applications and am now thinking that I should only read at home, in the shade, or with pants. Lesson learned; obviously in this day and age blonde people require 100 spf and must apply every 15 minutes! We were both totally exhausted by the time we got home from battling the sun and waves but we are already planning on going back again sometime soon!
Here are also some pictures of my flower pots that I planted and keep out on our patio!
