Camping + Canoe

Last weekend The Boyfriend and I went on a little trip. We were gone only about 24 hours but it was great. It certainly felt longer.

Now for the pictures!

We left the house about nine in the morning.

We traveled about a half hour north and started our travel by canoe.

 The portage (sp?) was easy for me haha.

I do not know to rotate the photo...

 This is where we holed up for the night.

 The view from camp.

 The boyfriend and view the other direction.

 Our campfire with newly constructed pit (by me).

 Our dinner (green beans, soup and ravioli).

 Canoing adventures. 

We toured around quite a bit, looking for something to eat

(fish, duck, goose etc).

 The boyfriends only catch. Three mallards on the way back.

 Portaging on the way back.

We spent most of our time canoing around the lake exploring and seeing if we could catch any fish or anything. I was very unhappy that we didn't catch any fish, I was really looking forward to having some for dinner instead of canned food!

We got a little wet and didn't eat the food we wanted but all in all, I had a great time. It was really nice to just canoe around with no worries, and spend some time just the two of us. It's nice to know that we can co-operate and work together to do something fun like this and enjoy it together.

I'd really like to take the kids up there, there would be many lessons to learn that they could benefit from.

I hope we do this again. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it will be anytime soon as the weather has been not very nice and winter is coming.
