We came across this little gem when we found ourselves an old trailer, in great shape and decided we wanted to park it somewhere for a weekend getaway. We visited the park that day and put a deposit down on the site. We've never looked back.
As much as I'd like to name all the wonderful people we've met up there, I'm not sure Ci will let me spend that much time on the computer today :). I can honestly say this is another extension of my family.
Our neighbours Barry & Jim became instant friends. The first night we were all up there, we bonded over tequila... 1 Tequila, 2 Tequila, 3 Tequila, FLOOR! Barry & Jim have been amazing neighbours and we love our visits from their fur baby, Bailey, a gorgeous Sharpe/Sheppard cross. Hemi's girlfriend... or was until the female beagle moved in :)
George & Melissa with Austin and Breanna, Sarah with Brookie and my little buddy, Drake, great families, wonderful kids! Love when they do a last tour of the park and I get bedtime hugs from the kiddies. Sarah and I like to share the latest
Dana and Hailey, these two came into our lives at the end of our first season and wow, the connection was incredible. Hailey and Ciara are just a few months apart in age. It was great. They moved into the park in August and we look forward to our summers with them. Dana and I like to take the girls and the dogs for long hikes. I think our favourite might just be the Devil's Monument.
Bill, Jeff, and Ray are 3 more gems at the park. Love them. Always smiling. They're our event organizers. Bill & Jeff like to host movies on the patio or Bingo nights. Ray likes to decorate for Christmas in July and dances on the patio. Every time we see any of them, it's always a great big hug. Again, like we've known each other a heck of a lot longer than just a few summers.
I know I've missed some but I just wanted to give you a glimpse of the amazing group of people we have up at the trailer. The people I like to refer to as "my trailer family". Their support over the last 2 years for my Run for the Cure fundraiser has been phenomenal! It ends up being a great little party that gets all the "seasonals" together. We've even had weekenders join us!
The Bruce Peninsula is a beautiful area of our province to visit. The Bruce trail offers many different level hiking trails, scenery that you wouldn't even think existed in Ontario, rock climbing opportunities, boating, fishing, I could go on and on. Our park is right on Lake Huron and just 40 minutes from Tobermory where we will often take trips to catch a glimpse of the MS Chi-Cheemaun, check out the shops, and visit the Candle Shop at Miller Lake. There are just so many things to keep us wanting to go there every possible weekend.Anyway, one of the hardest things we have to do every year, is close down and say good-bye until next season. This year was really tough. First, it was the last year in our first trailer. A tough decision to make but time to get a bigger trailer. Now that we've found a new one, I want to run right back up ther for the first sleep in it!! Secondly, going 6 months without seeing these people is hard! We live all over, Owen Sound, Hamilton, Cambridge, Beamsville, etc. Thank goodness for Facebook and texting because that seems to be our source of connection through those long winter months. Lastly, having somewhere to run off to when you just need to get away is such a privilege. We are very lucky and you truly do appreciate those things that you cannot have (even if it is for just a few months).
See you in approximately 207 days!!! XOXO
