A couple of weekends ago my eldest daughter and I went out camping together. Not to be outdone, my middle daughter Anna decided that she needed to go camping with her Dad too. This weekend we set out together, just the two of us. The weather was less than ideal... it was cool, windy, cloudy and sprinkling rain. The daytime highs only got up to around +13C. We left the city on Saturday afternoon and made our way to Elk Island National Park. The wind was very brisk all day but in the evening it died down briefly, and the sun even broke out for a bit, while we were out for a walk. The wind picked up again overnight and by morning the foam and froth blown up on the beach of Astotin Lake was obvious evidence of the poor conditions. We went on a guided nature walk on Sunday morning, after sleeping in and having a relaxing breakfast together. In the afternoon we headed over to the Ukrainian Village and checked out all the cool old buildings. The weather was better, and the wind had died down, but the temperature didn't really improve. By late afternoon we made our way back home to the city.
