After the kids spent some time choosing the choicest selection of purple, gray, and speckled rocks, we decided to explore a short hike callled Dicken's Falls.

You know what is the greatest thing about camping? Having nowhere to go and nothing to do if you don't want to. After we returned from our little adventure we returned to the campsite, trying to figure out why we were so exhausted. Maybe it was because we finally let ourselves relax. How often in our daily lives do we push ourselves, just trying to get through the checklist of our day? How often on our vacations do we come back so exhausted that we need to recover because we tried to see and do everything?
It was such a good feeling to fall asleep and know there was no specific place that we needed to be. Of course, I woke up with that groggy feeling that you have after a big Shabbos schluf, but it was worth it. I gave the girls an arts and crafts activity to start working on while we got the campfire and dinner process going again. We passed our time sitting around the fire and savoring our last night in this beautiful National Park and talking about our next destination. Tomorrow morning we would pack up our camp and head north towards the island (and province) of PEI, Prince Edward Island.
