Day 6 - Regina, SK to Kenora, ON...yes, you are reading that correctly....ON...as in ONTARIO!!! We're feeling like we're getting closer to home now; even though we know that it is going to take us approx 3 days to get through Ontario!!! We got up this morning at 5:30 am and were on the road by 8am after breakfast. We decided that there wasn't anything much we wanted to stop and see in Manitoba, so we'd do our best and push on towards Kenora, ON. Charlie is such a good boy!!! We stopped only to get gas, lunch at Subway and to change diapers. He was out of the vehicle for only about an hour total in the 800 kms that we covered! And he never complained once!!!! Anyway, we decided once we arrived here tonight that we are definately going to spend the day and night here tomorrow and head out for Thunder Bay on Friday AM....it's soooo beautiful here! We're going to do a hike and possibly a boat tour and David may even do some fishing???? All depends on what's open for the season.
Anyway, here are a couple of photos I took today that I thought I'd share....not much as we were in the van ALLLLLL Day!!!!
This was taken this morning at about 6am while the boys were watching Sportsdesk; watching the Canucks highlight...or should I say lowlights....from last night's game. Neither of them look too pleased with me or the TV, eh?
Here is Charlie eating an apple en route! We had about an hour and a half to Kenora and he woke up and wasn't exactly chipper....so....they say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.....Charlie is no exception....he chewed on that apple with his 2 teeth for over an hour! GREAT way to pass the time!

Oh, and finally, here is a photo for Charlie's little cousin Austin.....
Charlie writes...."thanks for continuing to check up on me cuz...always great to hear from you! My Mom and Dad saw this sign today and I made them follow it cause I thought I was going to get to see you. We drove for a VERY long time looking for you, but we couldn't find you. So....I don't know what happened, but Mom told me that I'll get to see you real soon...can't wait for you to teach me some big boy stuff! Oh, and I agree with your last comment on my blog....we definately will go find a big moose someday and we DEFINATELY won't take my dad and uncle Roger along...maybe our Grampy's will help us out??? On second thoughts...that may not be such a great idea either...hmmm!!!!"

That's all for now, I'll keep in touch!

I'm impressed.... you guys are making great time! If you can cross Manitoba in one day, you should be able to do the same through Ontario 'cause it is soooooo boring.
I hope you change your mind and stop at our place. We've got plenty of space for the trailer and Charlie - heck we can probably find place for Mum and Dad :-) Just call as you get closer.
Have a safe trip.
