Awenda Blog Tuesday Today I woke up and looked outside. It looked gloomy and overcast. We got up and had custom pancakes - chocolate chip, chocolate/peanut butter/butterscotch chip, blueberry and plain!! Then packed up for the beach. We went to the same spot as yesterday as the kids didn't want to try a different spot. They liked climbing on and jumping off the rocks and wanted to do it again. It was HOT and sunny at the beach!! I even went in 5-6 times (and by in, I mean past my ankles and actually swam). The water was chilly but but very refreshing. We swam out to the big rocks and the kids jumped off and played in the water. We took a break and sat on "Rectangle Rock" and enjoyed the sun. As we were sitting enjoying the scenery we saw a big water snake swim by. I'm really glad I saw him swim by from above because had I been in the water it would've been a very different story!! 😳 Don't worry, I calmly assured the kids that he was harmless and more afraid of us than we were of him!!! I could've stayed at the beach all day but we decided to come back to our campsite for a little siesta before dinner. I managed to snag the hammock and read my book for a bit. We made pizzas for dinner that were delicious!! Then we headed back to the beach for sunset. It was still pretty warm at the beach and again the kids were in the water like little fish. Matt went and checked out beaches 2-4 and when he came back reported that we were in fact on the best beach!! We took some nice sunset pics then returned to our campsite for a campfire, s'mores and bed. Sadly, it is time to return to the real world tomorrow and head home ... Till next time!! Awenda - stayed in Wolf Campsite, site 209 - not my favourite site. Biggest most densely populated campsite area in Awenda, lots of cars and people going by, not much privacy. Site was spacious, shady and did have two picnic tables which was handy. #256 looks like a good site for next time. Beach #1 was amazing and we loved it!!!
