Wawa, ON, Easter ice fishing at camp in northern ON

Well we were only a lake away from the atv trail. What a workout.

Hold on brother we're off. Yeh... and don't lose me like last time.

Call me when the fish bite. This fresh air is making me sleepy.

I guess my jigging paid off.

Grandpa wait for me I want to come too.

My snowshoe keeps turning.

Well friends this is how we spent our Easter this year. Truly hope your Easter was shared with family & friends.

Back to work as our first ATV tour has 30 riders for the long weekend in May so we are busy getting things ready for then. At least that is what Willy & Chico are telling us but we bet they are having a hayday with no bosses around.

Our regular Chapleau ride was rescheduled until the next weekend due to this private tour. It will give us another week for the weather to warm up and to dry the trail ... yeh right. This is the fourth year for the ride to Chapleau and we are full again. Keep posted as we have a couple of other rides planned for this summer. Come play with us........!

4th Annual Chapleau ATV ride

COME and PLAY with us.

We have the best playground right in our backyard.

This is atv season.... but bring warm clothes, a rain coat and rubber boots, as mother nature has many tricks along the trails. Girl's you do not need your fleecy rags yet... save them for June.

ATV'ing is the sport you enjoy with your friends and make memories.

It also points out who your real friends are when you get into trouble.

May 23 -24th that is the day we will be heading to Chapleau on our atv's for our 4th annual ride. Everyone enjoyed this ride so we do it again and again. We had to book it one week later this week as the guide has a tour the long weekend. We need our guide to get us there and ........ back so........ we thought it would be wise to reschedule this ride.

We need a guide that is 99% sure................says Amanda.

This is where we start....8:00 am off we ride.......


Bristol MOTEL, with Bristol Off-Roading Outfitters.




....... coffee break on the trail ....... good time for a head count.....everybody's here

Lunch time..........sure looks like snow clouds.

Time to gas up...........everybody is getting hungry.

Next stop is supper aux trois moulins.

Here is where we sleep...... Valentine Bed & Breakfast the only place to stay when you are in Chapleau.

So ... if you want to have a fun weekend with old friends, make new friends ........

give Willy .....

a call at 705-856-2385 THE BRISTOL MOTEL.

He is our number one guide. There is a limit number for this ride so call early if you want to come. This is a long ride but it is an easy ride. It gets us in shape for the season ahead. It is early in the season so you are sure to see wild life along this ride.

There still lots of places you can get ......... dirty...........wet.........along this trail. There is always someone to capture the memories to enjoy when you are too old to ride!

Vet Clinic March 10,2009

Dog gone it

I checked out the whole paper and I could not find Dr. Larry Simpson's next vet clinic. Oh Oh... I just found it. It's on Tuesday the 10 of March, 2009. I sure hope the doc is not superstitious cause I'm in trouble again with my master.

Winter arrives @ Bristol Motel, Wawa, ON Canada

The Bristol Motel Parking lot.

We have three tracters but my driveway is always the last one to be done.

Winter arrives all in one day. Snow started to fall and blow late December 5/08. Customers said the highway was terrible especially around the lake.

Snow continued to fall all through the night with blowing winds spread it all around.

This morning it continued to snow and blow. Locals were still getting to the Sub shop to bring their donations to the food bank fund scheduled for today. Donations will be very helpful as this year there are many people out of work in the area and they will gladly appreciate the help. If you have not been there yet ... get there! You never know when you need help, this is the true spirit of the holidays. Neighbour helping neighbour.

Willy has been in his toy tracter since 4:00 am. Marc came to help him and they have been done plowing their lists but I guess they still want to play awhile longer. Three P.M. and everything has come to a stop. The sun is starting to peak out and the winds have quit blowing.

One thing about the snow ... you can always pile it higher.

Santa Arrives by Firetruck to Community Christmas

Sunday November 30, Santa and Mrs. Clause arrived at the Wawa Arena where the Best Start Hub hosted a very busy afternoon for the children of the area. The kids and the parents had a great time and it was a real treat to see something so positive. Everyone left their worries at home.

Santa Clause was keep busy with all the orders the children were giving him and Mrs. Clause was giving out the candy canes and oranges. The elves helpers were kept busy too as there was a steady line of children waiting for their turn to talk with Santa while their parent took their picture.

There were games and toys set up around the room and parents watched and talked and watched their children play while enjoying the snacks provided.

Small prizes were awarded to the children but they were more interested in the games and toys. Volunteers helped to paint the childrens' faces and helped them to decorate cookies. The play dough was also a huge hit not only for the kids as parents spent time at this table as well.

The Best Start Hub, Wawa hosted this very successful free day for the community . They did a great job and everyone is waiting for it to come around again next year. All the time and energy this group put into this project was very well appreciated. You are the Best Start to this community, and one day your little people will be a real asset to our community. I noticed these little people, many of them coming and going, but I noticed only laughter, sharing and learning, with the exception of the few who were afraid of Santa. Too bad some of the leaders today were not there; I am sure they could have learned something about getting along. Merry Christmas.

P.D. Day = Home Schooling

Wawa Geese waiting for the bell to ring?

Someone forgot to tell the Geese it's a P.D. Day, Friday October3, 2008.

Enviromental Studies

Learning which berries to pick and eat. That's easy if it blue it is good.

Learning How to Make a Horseshoe Pit. Had to get the right wood for the plans I drew. Measure the wood, measure twice, cut once. Cut the wood and then nail it togeather. Fill the pit with sand after I get it laid out in the correct distance for the game rules. Good thing I know my math.

Horseshoe game tonight.

Never too young to learn How to use a drill. Never know when you will have to help dad with repairs. Hope the batteries last for a long time... and glad they are rechargables.

Catching the fish was easy ... BUT how to set that minnow trap and catch the minnows, well that's another story. Always bring extra clothes.


Time to eat now that we have learned how to clean our catch and get it ready for the pan. Safety lessons about using propane & hot grease. The big piece is mine.

Guess these two do not want to play horseshoes.

Checkout my campfire. The perfect end to a perfect day.

Wonder when my next P.D. Day is?

What did you do on your P.D. Day?
