I lied. Last week was not our last beach trip - today was. We had originally made plans to go to the zoo today BUT! last minute, some friends asked if we would be free to meet them at a park close to them. So! We switched our zoo appointment, and headed to The Pinery Provincial Park to see our Moynifriends. And, oh boy, were we ever blessed with a doozy of a gorgeous day.
We broke up our 2+ hour drive with a stop for lunch in Stratford - beautiful, clean, delicious Stratford. We enjoyed a breakfast lunch along the river with swans (and wasps) for company before moving on to The Pinery.
Now, if you think you would enjoy...
1. wind and waves so impressive that it will result in an unexpected adieu to your watermelon floatie, which will thereafter bob along eternally somewhere in the middle of Lake Huron, despite your oldest son's best efforts to save it;
2. some calmer river water, for a maiden voyage of your friends' new-to-them canoe. While there, allow your boys to adventure out on their own so they can get their independent selves stuck in a culvert and also catch a turtle;
3. a yummy barbecue;
4. a second trip to the beach to play in the waves and some rain. The clouds will part just before you leave to treat you to the most lovely, beautiful sunset your eyes have ever seen - every time you blink, the sky will get more and more gorgeous and your heart will feel like bursting; and
5. good friends, who are fun to share life with;
... then The Pinery is for you. It boasts all of these things and more, and was the perfect Last Last Beach Trip of the season.
