Last day in Gananoque



This is the beach at Gananaque, at the beginning of the St. Lawrence River. It runs past Montreal and Quebec City, and completes the end of the important water transportation route through central Canada into the Atlantic. We have now travelled most of this waterway, through Sioux Narrows in Lake of the Woods, past Lake Superior and the locks at Sault Ste. Marie, along the Northern Part of Lake Huron, Georgian Bay, and Lake Ontario, and into the St. Lawrence. So much of Canada's history, early development, and trade comes from this area - pretty amazing to experience it all!

The kids play a lot of Jackpot – Sean loves to throw and this is relatively safe for his knee. I have a good, hinged brace that I use for playing soccer, and so he has been able to swim with this one in the water. Luckily, he hasn’t missed out on too much because of his knee, but there is a jumping pillow at our campground in Niagara Falls that he will not be able to go on. We booked that campground especially so Sean and Rianna could show Cale and Taylor how much fun they are, but it won’t be happening for Sean!
