Neys Provincial Park

Next stop, Neys Provincial Park. Our campsite was on the beach and the boys spent many hours building driftwood forts and jumping waves. The past couple days were really windy, making for some really fun wave jumping.
Action shots!

We lost one! I am sure he will show in in WI somewhere.
Nope, we found him. A Peter-sicle. He was having loads of fun! Then intstantly cold. Too cold.

Studly men on the beach! They still are tickled pink to know that boys can run around with no shirt on but girls cant.
For dinner, steak. When a man eats steak he can use his pocket knife.
The next morning the beach was a whole lot calmer and the boys could not wait to get out there, so off in their PJs they went.
Peter's "unhappy camper" shirt is very fitting for today. Continue on to learn why.
Happy little hike along the "Under the volcano " hike. Wet rocks. Parcour inspired boys who think they are invincable....
And now, you have Peter wearing Pat's shirt, my jacket and dripping went. He is his now "the king of the world" but 15 minutes before he met his fate, chest deep in water, with no skin on his knees.
The jump he missed.
This area of Lake Superior is so beautiful! (even with a wet-bleeding kid)
Neys was also a POW camp in WWII. Not many things remain from that time, but I would have to say, if I was a POW I would like to hang out around here, even with this giant fish.
Yes, the classic "name in the sand" photo.
On our way to Pukaskwa National Park we stopped at Pebble Beach. Pebble Beach also had a lot of fun drift wood to climb on.
Pebbles....I would call them more like polished rocks
Another beautiful hike, but this one a bear was spotted along the trail...so it was a little more exciting. Unfortunately (or fortunately) we did not see it.
Soooo pretty!
but Jamison had it, he was done, did not want any more of these "stupid hikes." "Why cant we go on vacations with planes and a hotel!"
So we had to see the wawa (goose) sculpture in the town of Wawa. Not to be confused by the wewe, a snow goose. The town of Wawa is where we found Ontario's version of Wall Drug, but really small. They did however have good icecream and some fun treasures. (to be featured in the next post)
