McKenzie Bight

To continue on on our marvelous weekend last weekend, Sunday we headed off to McKenzie Bight in Gowlland Tod Provincial park. We have made a goal to go on a family walk as part of our Sabbath day observances. What a good goal it has been. So off we went down the path. There was a little stream that ran just off the path for the majority of our walk. It was a bubbly, cutesy stream and every once and a while, we'd stop and show Oakley a little waterfall or the water going over branches that had fallen into its path. We didn't know how long it would take us to reach the bight so we decided to head back at six. We stopped about half an hour into it to have a snack and it was about ten to six. After checking the GPS location, Matt figured we were about 5/6ths of the way there so we continued on. Good thing we did because the beach was just down a hill and around the corner from our rest stop. When I stepped out of the trees and onto the beach, I was in awe. This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The pictures don't do it justice. The water was so calm and there was a perfect peace there. Very appropriate activity for Sunday. :) We climbed up onto this rock that was jutting out of the water and watched the ducks swimming. Oakley threw rocks, Matt skipped rocks, Emmett napped and I looked for seashells. I definitely want to make this hike a regular occurrence. Beautiful.

Check out this funny branch! Oakley wasn't thrilled about being put on it.
