The pictures of the water are just spectacular. Is the water cold?

well the water is Lake Superior which is notoriously cold (when i lived in the Soo we couldn't go in until august.. it was just THAT cold) but out at Batchewana (where we had our roast.. about 1 hour north of the soo) the water is so shallow for about 30 feet that it gets heated up and was SO warm... i had water shoes in so i could go out as far as Layla wanted to... she was in heaven!!! and it is SO clean!

Looks like a blast!!!! It's so great she gets to go along with you. I'm from the country and we used to have deer roasts. The deer would hang all day from a tree and then they would put it in the big roaster!!

Oh Layla, Hallie and Simon want to come spend time with you! You have the best little adventures and Hallie said she could show you what to do with a chipmunk

Could have done without the pig pic Marci

YorkieMom55 · 08-06-2007, 04:49 PM

Marci,
loved the pictures. Oh, and those Soo "Beach" pictures are grand. I miss Superior, I haven't been up there in years. Lk Mich is cold but it's a real experience to dive into Superior, takes your breath away!!!
Yummy......Pig-on-a-Stick....nothing like it.
Layla is so fearless, she's a real water baby. Thanks for sharing your trip.

lol but what is a pig roast thread without a picture of a pig... being roasted

Patti · 08-06-2007, 05:06 PM

Great pics. Looks so beautiful

bakerylady · 08-06-2007, 07:39 PM

Ok, I can't resist...where is the apple in the poor piggy's mouth??

Marci, you make me homesick for the good old Northern Ontario scenery. I'm originally from North Bay but did a lot of growing up in Marten River so I truely appreciate the fall and it's beautiful colors!!

Marci,

Those pics of you and your family and Layla are wonderful! I agree...the pig roast is gross (vegetarian here!) but, I'm glad you posted the pic so we knew you REALLY went to a pig roast rather than a spa and to the mall for the weekend!

I love the pic of your mom-it's cute, even though she's disgusted!

Miss Layla is a fishy! I'm so glad she loves swimming-just like Milli! Looks like you guys had a great weekend!

mizzwanned · 08-06-2007, 08:01 PM

ewwww! Poor Pig!!! I know how you feel, although ive eaten pig before(pernil) i never saw one being cooked before i went to PR and my stepdad's family skinned and cooked it. I DID NOT want to see it but they did it right outside the house!!! YUCK! BTW the other pics are really nice

Layla's such a cutie!

camly · 08-06-2007, 10:40 PM

WOW! the pictures are great! and the area you're in is just beautiful!!! will def considering taking a trip up there sometime, the scenery is so pretty!

stedmansmommy · 08-06-2007, 11:07 PM

Awww Layla is so cute and what great pics! It looks like you guys had a wonderful time girl! I SO need to take my babies to the beach now that I have their retractable leashes...they can "run free" without actually "running free" if you know what I mean

I know that they would just LOVE to play in the water

apparently they tried to get an apple in there but it woudln't fit...

In the south, pigs are often cooked for barbecue...but no head! And they are split...so it looks more like something from the butcher shop. Also, they are cooked in a pit, not on a spit. In all, it is a lot less intimidating. They are cooked for many hours and are delicious!
