It's been almost a year...

Hello,

 It has been almost a full year since I last posted. I sadly ended up doing what I was hoping not to do with this blog. Which was to not consistently post. There are no excuses. I've always been this way when it comes to blogs I have created in the past. 

 Since I don't really have a following, I do not feel like I am letting anyone down. Except myself. I was hoping this would also be a good way to keep track of the outings we do, the wonderful sights we see and just overall memories of outdoor adventures for myself and my family. 

 Now, don't go thinking that we have been sitting around not getting out there. We've still been busy! I must admit we did not get out as much in 2018 as I would have liked, but such is life. We will turn that around this year. I just bought new trail runners and I'm pretty excited to break them in. 

 We already have our big extended family camping trip booked for Charleston Provincial Park. If you have been there, please let us know which activities and such we should try!

 We were hoping to get to Manitoulin Island at some point over the summer, but I'm not sure we will be able to. Maybe?

 Anyway. I just wanted to post this quick little entry to show you that we are still getting outside and trying our best. Which I hope will be better this year. We do have a Twitter account (whereweroam_ca is our username) which I remember I have it once in a while haha I need to improve at this but I also don't want to spend all my time on my phone or computer. I tried setting up an Instagram account and that didn't work out and it has locked me out somehow and I can't get it back... 

 I hope you have all been getting outside and enjoying this wonderful Earth of ours. 

Let us know where you have roamed, we'd love to hear.

 Thank you!

Snowshoeing at Crawford Lake Conservation Area

Hello dear outdoor enthusiasts! I hope you are doing well. We have been dealing with colds and flus. And bad weather. We live in Southern Ontario and the weather has been rather up and down. We've had bouts of minus 30 degrees Celsius and then of almost plus 10! Weather, make up your mind. This makes it harder for us to go out and enjoy the outdoors. We do go for walks around the neighbourhood if the weather is stable enough and we are nicely bundled up. We even managed to go walk by the water at LaSalle Marina Park in Burlington and see all the swans that overwinter  there.  Other than walking/hiking, we have been able to break in our new snowshoes! My parents were beyond generous and gave us all snowshoes for Christmas. They live by a lake so we were able to try them out around their place, walking on the frozen lake and then through a park. It was great!  We don't get too many opportunities to go snowshoeing around our place though, mostly with this season's sno

Short walk around Mill Pond, Milton

Hello, It has been a rather long time since I've posted. I have another post in the draft folder that I meant to tidy and publish a few months back, and sadly it has sat there forgotten.  I personally find it tough to post about hiking, camping, etc., when the weather outside is frightful, but I need to get over it. Life doesn't stop just because it's not the more pristine weather outside! I need to come up with posts that are related to these topics and that can be shared with my readers in those downtimes. I still have a love and passion for all these things even in less than desirable conditions, so my blog should continue to be updated! All that to say, the weather is getting nicer. I'm very excited about this. It feels like it took a really long time for us to get there this year, with a late snow storm in April and then ridiculous winds and such in this early May. We had a huge pine tree blocking one entrance of our townhouse complex driveway! We took adva

Camping at Silent Lake Provincial Park

Hello, I've been getting back into looking up trails and such since spring will eventually show even more signs of arriving in our area and I want to be ready for outdoor adventures! The birds are chirping in the morning, some greenery is started to pop out of the ground, there is light up till the children's bedtime... all exciting things.  In doing so, I figured I could write a short post regarding our extended family camping trip we took last August at Silent Lake Provincial Park . Same gang as the previous year at Bon Echo, minus my father who was ill and unable to join us. He's fine, by the way.  We did our usual Wednesday to Saturday schedule, which helps avoid crowds. We stuck to the month of August and it was thankfully warmer than the previous year.  I seem to have misplaced our map, but I do believe our sites and yurt were in the Pincer Bay campground. We had two tent sites next to each other, but with a good distance between the two (had to go on the roa
