We had a weekend break to cottage country last weekend (October 31st). We drove to a place called Oxtongue Lake, in Muskoka. It is about 3 1/2 hours drive north of Kitchener.
We had rented a cottage for the weekend with Bob, Lorie and their two children, Jeff and Elysha and Elysha's friend, Bethany.
We had a great time together and here are some pics from our trip below:
A view of outside of the cottage and the dirty 'Emery' mobile:

We visited a park called Aconquin Park on our break which is about 20 minutes drive away from where we stayed, and the website for the park is below:

This part of Ontario is considered 'Cottage Country'. Basically, a place where people might buy a holiday cottage, and spend their weekends there whenever they can. This has pushed up the price of such property in this type of area.
We walked a trail called 'Lookout' where along the route, you can stop can take view of the park in all its natural beauty. Again, pictures are as follows:

This is Brian & Elaine signing off until next time.......

Great photos Good to see you have made good friends. We are envious of the views (we know Who created it) How are things going with the house? Let us know if you get this comment as we are not familiar with blog protocol but a great way of keeping everyone up to date. Rosies mum has just come out of hospital after fracturing her hip she is nearly 90 so there was some concern but she is making great progress. Sorry you are not here to enjoy the grey skies, the constant rainfall and the cold (but not as cold as where you are) Will be visiting Carl and Sue at Jean and Keiths in a weeks time. Love to you both Colin & Rosie
Hey Colin and Rosie!!!
