Trip to the Beach

Monday was a hot and humid day in Ottawa. So we went to the beach!! Well the Ottawa version of it anyway. Of course Ottawa is miles away from any ocean, but there is a river running through it and at some locations along the bank they have brought in sand and made beaches for people to sunbathe etc. See the photo. The water was quite warm in the river and very refreshing on the hot day.



One Canadian citizen had a novel way of cooling off in comfort!!!



Here's a picture of our niece Jordyn and another of Bron and Bron's brother Earl.





This is a view across the Ottawa River. It's hard to believe that in winter this river is completely iced over and they ice skate on it and go fishing through holes drilled in the ice.



There was a spectacular summer thunderstorm last night with continuous lightning and thunder that took out the power. Very exciting to be in the middle of.

Cheers for now.
