The Annual Canada Trip

All of the Johnsons were able to make it to our annual fishing extravaganza at Savant Lake, Ontario this summer.  Our journey in wasn't quite as epic as last year (no rain, no lightening, no stuck Mule) and we even all got to ride on a vehicle! So this marked the first year that no one hiked in, and maybe we've all become spoiled now.  But I'm sure next year we will roll up our pant legs and gladly trek through those puddles if need be, because this trip is worth it. The boys (I originally meant the little boys, but thinking back, I think ALL the boys) loved the crazy ride on the ATV. The ladies...we hung on for dear life...we went up and over rocks, logs, through (really) deep puddles, around giant holes...and it was a seriously awesome adventure. We arrived at the camp ready to fish.

The boys played outside a lot, on the playground, in the boats, and on the Mule.  Bliss.

Soren discovered a deep love for Bushes Baked Beans. 

Micah tried out his new kiteboard gear in the "agua dulce" (freshwater). It went...well(ish). Not enough wind on that particular day, but it was fun to try!

Some highlights were relaxing a lot, eating fresh walleye twice a day (once fried, once grilled), eating hush puppies and amazing onion rings a' la Chez Owen, seeing these loons and their babies, hearing Soren's version of loon and sea gull sounds (he's good!), cousin play time, sleeping a lot, breathing crisp, clean Canadian air, and being with family!
