NAW Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I'm heading to 6-mile lake PP this weekend. Anyone else heading there? Or any other fun trips this weekend? This will be my first real fishing trip in my boat since my son was born almost 2 years ago. It's crazy how they shift your priorities eh!!

spincast Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Those first few years with kids change the focus for sure. Takes a few years, but then one day you wake up and , hey, they are just as pumped as you for the outings. Sounds like a great trip you have lined up there . We aren't heading out this weekend , but next week is the last week of school. For the last 3 years I have made it a special trip with G. I take the day off and we spend the weekend together celebrating the beginning of summer. The first year, a day on lake O together; last year we did our first "lodge weekend"; headed up to Horizon's North and had some decent success. This year we are doing a camping trip. Hitting Wheatley and spending the weekend looking for 'eyes (and whatever else wants to play) down Leamington way. Bring on the summer time!!

Rod Caster Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I have fond memories of PP's when I was a kid. I'm sure little NAW will too. Take lots of pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gino Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 camping on crown land this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) I did a ton of crown camping when I was younger, but with kids a few of the amenities are nice. I make a point of going to a provincial park once per season. I would go more, but we are very fortunate that my wife's parents have a cottage that we can use quite a bit. You will enjoy it, as long as you like the people your going with! 6 mile is a decent park, and they had all kinds of kids activities last time I was there!

Im sure it,s going to be a blast Nick. 6 Mile was our families place to go for picnics when I was 10 or so. Pop always had the BBQ full of lemon chicken and baked taters along with corn on the cob.Garden salad,marshmello salad,bean salad,the list goes on. We ate good. There was always that golden rule though. No swimming til 1/2 hour after eating. (you will cramp up) My brothers and I would edge are way to the beach,and get yelled at. Get back here boys. Ah ma, come on. You only said that once, then pop spoke up.LMAO Great days remembered from your post bud.It,s where I learned to butterfly swim. My pop taught me that,and he was good at it.

Christopheraaron Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Wish I was but I'm sure the parks will be a zoo this week, between fishermen and kids getting out of school. Great weekend for camping with kids though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) I grew up on six mile. Many many firsts for me. Many lessons learned. We sold the family cottage last summer. It's going to be my first time on the lake that I've not had a cottage to go home to.. I used to spend 1 month every summer growing up at the cottage living with my grandparents. By age 12 I was hitting the night bite solo in my grandpa's 12' springbok. Which now resides on the lake across from my house. Usually I'm pulling up to the beach at the PP in my grandpa's bow rider loaded with people. We used to go there to swim all the time. Check out the ... Crowds. I'll be on the other end of it now.

cram Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Some of my very best childhood memories were at provincial parks. Good for you - the kids will have a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
