Our Toronto includes Sparrow Lake

We're on vacation in Sparrow Lake (near Orillia) at a family-oriented lodge called Bayview Wild. The lodge has been here, in one form or another, for 100 years.

We'll post new photos at least once a day. The first one you see here is of Meredith and her friend Alanna (who we met here back in 2005) signing up for their day program. The second image is "all the girls": Barb (Shellie's mom), Michelle (Alana's mom), Shellie, Alana and Meredith.

With Shellie's parents, we actually bought into a "time share" (yikes) for five weeks up here in a new, swanky cottage that they're buidling. In theory we can swap any of those weeks for opportunities to vacation at 2200 different resorts worldwide. This year, however, we're still in one of the quaint older cottages.

More to follow.
