The Camping Family

My daughter was obsessed with trying to get our dogs out on the SUP. Elvis seemed to love his new ride. #RewardsAreOutThere...

Morning sunrise on H19 was beautiful as we listened to wolves howling, truly unforgettable! # RewardsAreOutThere...

Safety first, make sure your canoes are securely tied down! #RewardsAreOutThere...

Rain storm blew in but the kids weren't ready for bed, some of the best times are spent sitting under a tarp playin cards for hours! #RewardsAreOutThere...

Someone once told my kids mud makes your skin soft! Secret mud pit in Killarney #RewardsAreOutThere...

Our first time away from the kids in 17 years, missed them like crazy but the hiking trip was fantastic! #RewardsAreOutThere...

Looking out at Little Superior Lake, another stunning blue Killarney lake #RewardsAreOutThere...

Last day on the Silloutte Trail in Killarney, descending the crack as the rain hit. Not bad 1 rain day out of 7 isn't bad! #RewardsAreOutThere...

Beautiful campsite on a stunning little lake...

After hiking part of the Bruce Trail last year the kids started picking up trash and bottles. It's become an annual thing to help keep the places we love clean and natural #RewardsAreOutThere...

We went on a hide and seek mission and were successful! Look at the view, definetely a great way to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary backcountry style!...

The underwater camera provided a great opportunity take silly pics, this was one of many...

Clear blue water reflecting the La Cloche on the canoe...

Selfie with my little one...

This paddle around Nellie exploring netted us a viewing of a mama bear swimming her 3 cubs across the lake and another mama and cub on the way back to the campsite (6 bears in 40 minutes a new record for us)...

Getting ready to load up and head out from Hwy 6 access to Killarney...

Last years AO paddle in the park being put to good use, nestled among 2 badgers...

Day 2 and the first aid kit is out, scratched open a bug bite....

Chase loaded and ready to go for our first trip across the infamous "notch" portage. Proved to be an eventful trip across as 2 of the kids encountered a mama with 2 cubs, startled and shaken the notch is quite memorable!...

Sometimes you just need to have a mid afternoon sip...

Great campsite with 2 good tent pads, a good tent pad and awesome swimming and views!...

Regrouping after just having spotted 6 bears in less than an hour, 0 pics and shakey camera footage from a distance plus our memories made for a great day!...

Slept with the vestibule open as we had a good tarp rigged except come morning the dog couldnt wait to get out and enjoy the view!...

Teaching our nine year old the benefits of owning a Jeffs map!...

Kids learning hands on how much practice it takes to use a flint and steel to get fire going....

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go!...

The amazing waters of Nellie Lake left us feeling kinda silly, so many bloopers came out of that underwater camera including the underwater air guitar!...
