Esker Lakes

 For our first camping trip of the year on this May long week-end, we decided not to go too far and camped at Esker Lakes.

I did not know what esker meant. For those ignorant people like me, here's a definition: 

1. a long ridge of gravel and other sediment, typically having a winding course, deposited by meltwater from a retreating glacier or ice sheet.

Now, we can look at Zack's picture again, admiring the eskers.

Since this was our first experience of the year, we got to try a couple of new things, like cameras for driving or a big tent to keep us warm and the bugs away.

As it was pooring rain on our way to the parc, we thought we would have to use the tent a lot more. Fortunately, the weather was actually pretty good and we were able to go outside (the beach with the playground was only a bike ride away) and cook outside too. 

We also went on most of the trails (I will post that later) but we enjoyed the camper as well. 

A great family time!
