Back to Ontario

Yes, another post so soon....can you believe it!  I leave it so long between posts that I forget where I left off, so sorry if I repeat myself or leave something out....but I guess you won't necessarily know that it's been left out.....anyway.....I'm off topic....so here we go.

On our return to Ontario, we noticed that the RV was having some transmission problems, or so we thought.  We were aiming for Acton, ON, but had to stop short in Cornwall to have it checked out.  We found a small campsite (only 26 sites) and the next morning the owner of the campground showed us where to have the RV looked at.  The mechanic determined that it wasn't the transmission, but just a sensor that could be easily changed, but the part had to be ordered in.  We phoned our friends in Acton and had Glen order the part for us there.  We then drove the rest of the way to Acton.  The part came in the next day and Dave and Glen took the RV in and had it fixed.

It was August 1 when we got to our friends, the Sheepwash's, which happens to be Landon's 8th birthday.  They had made cupcakes for him.  We spent 4 days there and had a wonderful time.

We left the Sheepwash's on August 5 and drove to Dyer's Bay, ON where my family has a cottage.  We met my Uncle John and Aunt Aileen there and enjoyed a short visit with them as they had to get back to Essex for work.  We stayed a couple more days.  We swam, through rocks in the water, played cards, watched the hummingbirds and chipmunks.  I loved going to the cottage as a child and I still love it the same today.  A storm rolled in on Thursday (August 9) with high winds, which made huge waves and caused us to lose power a few times.  We had to leave Friday morning to catch the ferry from Tobermory to Manitoulin Island.  It was a rocky boat ride for sure as the winds had not died down.  We learned that Becca gets seasick!  Poor girl :( She wasn't the only one, the whole boat was full of people using the little white baggies the staff had laid around on all the chairs.

We drove to Sault Ste. Marie and had pizza for supper and crossed the border around 7pm.  We are now in a KOA campsite in Newberry, Michigan.  We are on our way home....should be there in about 6 days.  See some of you then. :)
