Manning Park

The family had a good time at Manning Park from our lake-view campsite at Lightning Lake. Yesterday we hiked from our campsite to the day-use area to rent a canoe. The lake was quite calm and we were able to keep a good pace rowing to the very end of Lightning Lake. It wasn’t a completely clear day due to the fires in the area but it was still beautiful.

At the end of the lake we saw something really neat – there is a new waterfront log home…

Check out the details. Someone spent a lot of time on it. Made us smile.

We had a short break at a beach and Jeff took a dipped into the lake (and how I wish I had my swimsuit underneath…). I didn’t want to deal with shivering children and so they could only go knee deep into the lake.

We are now back home and preparing for our normal routine again…
