It's been awhile since we've added to our blog. It's not that the 4Robertsons haven't been busy but it seems we save our blogging for our summer adventures. We really should Blog all our adventures ... Today we had an early start and headed to Cambridge for the final day of the boys soccer tournament. They played a great weekend of soccer but sadly it came down to goal differential and we did not advance on to the finals. From the tournament we headed to one of our favourite provincial parks - Long Point. Once we arrived we got set up and headed for the beach. The kids played in the waves but stayed close to shore because it was as really windy and the water was quite rough. After that they were exhausted and everyone had a little siesta while I read my book. We had dinner then went for a walk on the beach. We stopped to get ice cream ... $4 for a single scoop ... that's nuts!! We won't get ice cream there again. We came back built a fire, played washer toss and some boche. "A" fell and hit her head at the park but it didn't slow her down. She threw her washers while holding ice in her head. After the kids sat in the hammock and sang songs they knew while we sat and enjoyed the campfire. Suns down and we're heading to bed. Night all!!

Laaazy day!! We got up had breakfast and headed to the beach. It was another windy wavy day. We stayed for a bit then went back for lunch. It was a bit cloudy with a bit of rain in the afternoon. The kids learned to played Mancala (I'm still the Mancala champ!!), I read my book. Then it was nap time for all. We got up, the kids played at the park, we had dinner then went and found cheaper ice cream. There are no cheap ice cream places here!! When we got back we made delicious s'mores with chocolate caramel cookies over the camp fire. Then it was time to head off to bed.

Today was a beautiful beach day!! Woke up early and read my book for an hour before anyone else woke up. We had breakfast and then set-up camp on the beach. It was sunny, hot and the water was calm. The kids had fun on their inflatable donut and mermaid toys and played in the water most of the day. Even I took a turn on the mermaid for a bit. I managed to get in a morning walk on the beach. We headed back to the camp site around 3:30 for some quiet time. J had a long nap and A went to the park and hung out in the hammock. I got to read my book some more, even Matt had a nap. We had octo-dogs over the fire for dinner and then the kids and I went for a long walk on the beach. They're having their evening swim and then it's more s'mores and some campfire popcorn. Night!!

Site #240
Our stop in paradise is over we packed up the camper before the rain came but still managed to get a long walk in on the beach. We had a wonderful time at one of our favourite places and we had a perfect site this year. Large site with lots of room to spread out, a pull through (always a bonus), I could see the kids at the park while I sat by the camp fire and we were pretty close to the washrooms. But best of all we were steps from the beach and I could hear the waves crashing in as I slept. On to our next adventure ...
