Parc Jacques Cartier


I must say that camping once it gets cooler, is awesome. The air is crisp, the leaves are turning, and the best part...NO CREEPY CRAWLERS! Not the annoying ones at least. :)

We packed our things and headed past Quebec city, to an incredible Sepaq Parc. It was very well maintained, and the trails were great. It actually felt like we were camping, and less like we were gypsies staying on someone's property. It had breathtaking views, and although we didn't see anything besides chipmunks, the woods are filled with moose, deer, and bears. It reminded me a lot of Algonquin in Ontario.

We all headed out on Saturday for an afternoon walk, on a low impact trail. A few hills and about a thousand stairs later, we managed to see a lot of beautiful um...trees. Just kidding...the bushes were cute too. Going for walks in the woods is by far one of my favorite things to do. :)

We also celebrated Josh's 5th birthday. We decorated the cake, smashed a pinata to bits, and opened lots of presents. :)
Its amazing how all the old toys that were popular when I was small, are back in a big way. I remember when Transformers were the bane of my brother's existence, and now they're huge again! You can't dispute that they are pretty cool.

I would highly recommend going here if you can actually get a reservation. Book way in advance!
