Thanks for the weekend!

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving weekend at Horseshoe Lake. It began with a five-hour drive from Ottawa which took us through Algonquin Park. We didn't stop but enjoyed the incredible colour and planned stops on our return trip.
We spent two days at Susan and Todd's and had so much fun with the family as well as being treated to a beautiful turkey dinner. The days included an afternoon boat ride on their pontoon boat, lots of chat, watching four cats (mis)behave as only cats can, carefully holding a harrumphing hedgehog, and cheering our way through a baseball game.
We timed our visit perfectly. The leaves were a brilliant colour coming in but were already falling as we left. Plans for putting all the outdoor toys to bed were underway when we left - boats in and tarped, trampoline down, rakes ready for the leaf-raking and snowmobiles tuned up. All must be ready for the massive drifts of snow sure to come before too long. It was a wonderful stay.
