Pine Point Rapids









This was probably one of our more ambitious adventures. After traveling to the North Whiteshell Provincial Park, we strapped on our backpacks and hiked down the trail for about an hour - well, actually a little longer to allow time for exploring along the way. There was much to see, touch, taste and hear - toads, fallen trees, wild blueberries and raspberries, rocky pathways along the Canadian shield. The trail was a little more soggy than we expected, so we arrived at the rapids with very wet feet. It was a great spot for to roast hot-dogs and marshmallows. A few of the kids even tried drying their socks over the fire! We saw a snake and spent Brendon spent most of his time trying to coax it out from under a rock. We also got caught in a rain shower, but as usual, we don't allow the mother nature to interfere with our fun. As one of the kids commented: "It's only water, and we are already wet!"
