Lac Lu outing - part 3

Swimming was one of the big activities of both days. when T. found out that he could actually stand on the bottom and still have his head out of the water he wanted to try without using the life jacket. The area between the dock and the rock was just the right depth for him.

After spending some time in the water it was time to get warmed up on the rock.

Sat. about noon we packed up and took a short trip into Kenora, ON to visit the Railroad Museum - it was a very interesting place with an old station like building housing a model RR which depicted rail service from coast to coast and from the early days until now. The volunteer who showed us around gave us a good lesson on the history of the RR. T. really enjoyed watching all the trains traveling around on the big model.

Outside we were able to go into a real caboose and walk around on the external walkways of an engine.

After a DQ stop we went to a park that was close by where there was a beach on Lake of the Woods - Opa and T. had a good time swimming and Oma just sat around in the shade.

When everyone was good and hot and tired we headed home to Winnipeg.
