Before the rain and snow of this past weekend we had a very beautiful Friday! Although still a bit cold, we had wonderful sunshine. And once the chores were done, including cleaning a REALLY messy and dirty garage, we took a trip down to our favourite beach – Long Point.

Long Point is on the east side of the “south shore” area. There is the typical limestone rocks to get into the water, but also millions of small, smooth stones.

The boys loved being back at Long Point. There was still some snow, but the sun warmed everything up, and made for a beautiful walk.

Walter is a big rock guy – he loves chasing them if he can trick someone into a throw, or finding them, well, pretty much anywhere. It’s hard to say why one stone is better than another, in Walter’s mind, but he can be really selective. Here’s Walter diving into the VERY cold water, to get just the right stone….then taking care of his spoils with a really good chew.

It was a wonder day, one we won’t forget for some time, and I think Walter would agree!
