Long weekend in Quebec

Lac de la Passe (Marie on bench in distance)

During the long weekend here in Quebec (Saint Jean Baptiste) Phil and Fer drove down from Montreal with the grand kids to enjoy some peace and quiet on the Domaine. We rented a pontoon boat and cruised Lac Megantic, going from end to the other, stopping for an ice cream at the marina in Piopolis on the way back. We spent a few hours afterwards at the local park in Baie des Sables after returning the boat, swimming and eating before returning home. The next day we put the kayaks in the trailer and drove down the hill to Lac de la Passe where we spent a fun few hours, the only ones on the water. I also took the kids in the UTV to see my Romanian friend Aaron who had some baby chicks and ducks to show them. As usual the time goes by too fast when the kids visit. Hopefully we will see everyone back this away before school starts in September.   gws
