Trip to Prince Edward County

A week or so ago the kids and I spent the weekend at my Father-in-Law's new cottage in Prince Edward County. I have found a new place to love...

The house is near a place called Roblin's Mill. The remains of the mill are still there. I didn't get pictures of them this time but I did get some shots of the water course that used to power the mill.

The falls just seemed to go on and on...









Some attractive Fungi





Oh look! The drugs have kicked in. Zero is a manic dog.



The kids and I went to the Toronto Islands twice this week. The first visit was last Sunday when we went with three other families. I got G an all-day pass and he managed to have a great time but poor Z barely scratched the surface of her tickets because there were so many other kids pulling her in other directions.

I felt bad so I offered to take her later this week... I ended up taking Z and G today. We spent the whole day there. We did some rides in the morning and then spent the rest of the day wandering the eastern islands, discovered a beach we didn't know, wandered the community and walked the quay...

It was a great day.

Sadly, most of the pictures have the kids in them so, these will seem a little absent of life.

One of the other ferries


And we did...


The antique carousel on at Centreville is very cool...


The Ferris Wheel from inside... by the way, when did I start getting sick on a Ferris Wheel... damn I am getting old.


He does...


The bridge that took us to a beach we'd never been to before...


Over the bridge and in a place that didn't look much used, was sitting this fully functional and quite attractive water fountain. It just struck me as lonely and missing the crowds of days gone by...


The Algonquin Bridge to Algonquin Island...


Queen City Yacht Club as seen from the Algonquin Bridge


Some houses on Algonquin Island... this community is so cool.




The quay on the Eastern Gap... right across the gap is the dock where the Rochester Ferry used to dock. I don't know if they even use this quay anymore, let alone when they used it...


The ferry coming to take us home.
