We all slept in - it was 9:30 when we got up; I hate that when there's things to see but obviously we all needed it. I think our transition back to Alberta time is going to be a challenge.
We headed into Huntsville late this morning to check things out, we did Main Street, the docks & ate on a patio alongside the river. We also went to the Pioneer Village pretty much only because we have a tie to it. Scott' paternal grandpa's grandparents have a pioneer home there in which they raised 14 kids. This place was much smaller than Heritage Park and there weren't anywhere near the amount of visitors but that made it better in some ways. We arrived in time for school held in the 1870s school house and the kids also made candles, did laundry and carded yarn. We took a ride on a steam engine which went into service in 1901 (Scott used to take it to school in those days and remembers it well! :)) It was an enjoyable day.
No plans for tomorrow yet but we've talked of a beach, a waterfall (Ragged Falls) and a set of rapids (Oxtongue Rapids). Roxy has had lots of exercise thanks to (at least) twice daily walks but it would be nice to have her along with us too - maybe if we head for Algonquin Provincial Park.
