A few weeks ago we were bogged down by the every day. Stressed, tired, and in need of some good ol' fresh air. We decided to take the kiddos out after their bedtime for some lake adventures and we discovered it was exactly what we all needed. I think it's so important to allow ourselves time to refresh, even if it means breaking the "rules" every now and again.

We headed west to a spot I'd been wanting to check out for a while, and it was beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better night. The kids had a blast running around, collecting rocks, watching snakes, hearing their echos bounce across the lake. We saw beavers, muskrats, snakes, squirrels, geese, loons, and even a mouse.

Here is a selection of my favourites from that night. I also created a video of our adventures and I will be sharing the full version later this week. I hope you enjoy.
