Quebec 2016 - On y va LIVE - Day 1 Messing Around On The Lake
The day started early - 4.30am early. DH was also awake and F turned up an hour later. The teenager didn't surface until 8.30am. However breakfast was had at about 6am. French toast with nutella or honey. Plus lots of coffee. A couple of pictures of the house - the lounge The kitchen. The climbing wall in F's bedroom - she climbs at the weekends so she loves this. After a quick walk to suss out the lake access, we took a trip into the town of Saint Donat. This is the beach on one of the many beaches. Then a first visit to a Canadian institution - Tim Hortons. F was a bit low so was thrilled to have a maple syrup frappucino thingy - though she only had half as it was too sweet (years of not eating much sugar and all my baking having the sugar cut down has led her finding a lot of commercial things as being too sweet.) It did the job though. O has a chocolate frappucino, DH a lemon meringue donut and I had chocolate timbits. Then a visit to stock up at the supermarket - I love foreign supermarkets. We liked the Olympic branded Oreos but didn't buy any! 200 dollars later the fridge was stocked. I actually don't mind cooking on holiday. After lunch we has a break before heading to the lake - a two minute walk. We have access to a private section with a dock and a canoe. The water was apparently a little cold! Out in the canoe. The view from the very wobbly dock. Another trip into town to get some inflatables then the boys watched a film on netflicks (don't ask me what though - it seemed very complicated! ) After dinner F made smores - the bbq is very handy for melting the marshmallows. A return trip was made to the lake with the newly blown up inflatables. As the sun was going down it was a bit nippy in the water. We spotted our first beaver (or a "castor" perhaps - is that the French term? ) Back to the cabin and moving the kids towards bed. It had been a lovely relaxing day. To be repeated! |

Looks amazing. Beautiful house. We are looking forward to Tim Hortons, they look like they are everywhere. Can't wait to read along.

Nous allons à québec chaque février.
We snowmobile across the lakes in winter - its pretty scary seeing the lakes we cross with the water instead of the ice tho! Try the Vanille francaise coffee @ Tim Horton's & for me its always the Pomme Espices beignet & for DH the Boston Creme - lovely. If it wasn't for the mossie problem in summer we would move there to be able to snowmobile all winter every winter - fab place n fantastic people - enjoy |
Looks gorgeous. Have a great trip.
