Road Trip Scavenger Hunt

Have you ever gone on a road trip with young kids? While the destination is fun, sometimes getting there can be stressful. Why not make it fun with this Road Trip Scavenger Hunt Game (plus FREE printable).

We've done road trips with the girls many times before, but as they get older, it takes a little bit more to keep them occupied and not constantly asking the dreaded questions, "Are we there yet?!" and "Can I have a snack?!" over and over again.

To celebrate the end of summer before back to school, we decided to take a trip up to the family cottage. We've done the 3.5 hour drive from Toronto many times before, but this year was a bit different. The girls were older, and with the addition of little sister beside them and brother Bear at their feet, things were a little more cramped. Boredom plus hunger usually results in some not so desirable behaviours, aka fights. So, to keep the entertained (or distracted, however you want to put it), I decided to create this Road Trip Scavenger Hunt.

We love playing "I Spy" in the car, so I decided to take the concept of I Spy and add a bit of a twist. This time, I was telling them what to look for and once they found these items, they would get a prize. 

Of course, the girls will never turn down the promise of a prize. 

So with the help of my friend Canva, knowledge of what we would see along the route and a trip to my local dollar store, I present you the Road Trip Scavenger Hunt.

Of course, you can always create your own scavenger hunt for your kids as well. Check out these tips for creating your own below, as well as thoughts on some other items you could add.

Tips for Creating Your Own Scavenger Hunt:

• Be sure to select items that you know you will see along the way.
• If you have never driven this route before, google it to discover what you may see.
• For longer drives, add more items to each category. (Remember, adding categories will mean more prizes.)
• To create a learning opportunity, you can incorporate some reading, writing and number games as well. For example, have them spell out the item, or add the name instead of the picture and have them read it out loud, or have them find x number of items instead of just one.

Additional items to add:

• Motorcycle
• Canada flag (or other flag)
• Dog in car
• Gas station
• Tim Horton's 
• Fire truck
• Cows
• Horses
• Train

Thoughts on Our Scavenger Hunt

In all, it took the girls about two hours to complete the scavenger hunt, which was perfect for our 3.5 hour drive. The one item that they were stuck on was someone walking a dog. We passed by a few when driving through smaller towns, but they were a little preoccupied to see them. Also, it is a bit difficult for our 3 year old to look out the window and see people/things at sidewalk level while in her carseat (definitely something to keep in mind for the future). We also ended up changing the tall building to a Canada flag.

I can see this being a regular activity on upcoming road trips...

Visiting the Toronto Islands During the Pandemic - What You Need to Know

Now that spring is in the air, we are craving ways to get outside, safely. And if you live in the Toronto-area, a visit to the Toronto Islands may be on your list. But how has visiting the Islands changed during the pandemic? Read on to learn what you need to know about visiting the Toronto Islands during the pandemic.

Back at the beginning March, we decided we were in need of an outdoor adventure. With the weather in our favour, we booked tickets to visit the Toronto Islands. Complete with a picnic lunch on Ward's Island Beach, it was a pretty special day - and just what our mental and physical health needed after months of isolation. 

If you have never heard of the Toronto Islands, you're missing out. They are truly a hidden gem of the city. 

But what exactly are they? And where are they located?

The Toronto Islands are a chain of 15 small islands in Lake Ontario, south of mainland Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Comprising the only group of islands in the western part of Lake Ontario, the Toronto Islands are located just offshore from the city's downtown area and provide shelter for Toronto Harbour.

FUN FACT for all you baseball fans - in the 1890s-1910 a baseball stadium with capacity for 10,000 spectators was built on the west side of the Islands. Babe Ruth hit his first professional home run here.

As the weather continues to get nicer and nicer, no doubt the Islands will get busier and busier, bringing up concerns for visitors' safety during the current state. 

From the IG stories I shared about our day on the Islands, I had a few questions regarding how visiting has changed during the global pandemic and under currently provincial health and safety measures. Here is what you need to know, as stated on the City of Toronto website AND based on our own personal experience. 

What You Need to Know About Visiting the Toronto Islands During the Pandemic 

From the City of Toronto Website

Under current provincial lockdown measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, physical distancing is required when using City of Toronto parks and squares. At the time date of post publication, these are some of the COVID health and safety protocols in place when visiting the Toronto Islands via ferry.

• The ferry service is operating at half capacity and on a reduced winter schedule.
• Passengers are required to wear masks or face coverings.
• Washrooms on the ferry are closed. Washrooms are open at the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal (downtown Toronto side) and on Toronto Island Park
• Before using the ferry, every visitor must do the Ontario Ministry of Health self-assessment for COVID-19. If they do not pass the assessment, they should not board the ferry.

Please note, some attractions and areas on the Islands are not operating until further notice, including Centreville, Far Enough Farm and Toronto Island Camps. The Boat House and Tram Tours are also closed until further notice. Permitted activity is currently not allowed on the Island.

Ferries leave the city from the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, located at the foot of Bay Street at Queens Quay. During the winter schedule (late-October/early November until mid-April), the ferry goes to Ward’s Island only. Some facilities may be closed. 

The current schedule can be found here. 

From Our Experience

• Tickets must be booked online in advance and are only good for the day on the ticket. Limited number of tickets sold per day to reduce crowding on the islands.
• Self-screening is in place prior to boarding.
• No clear social distancing markers in the boarding area. (If you've tried to board the ferry on a normal day, it's a cluster, like herding cattle into a squeeze. Despite knowing you should keep 6 feet apart, people were still crowding to get on.)
• Masks are mandatory on board the ferry. (And frankly, that shouldn't be a surprise.)
• The ferry schedule is modified. Only the open-air vehicle ferry is currently running to and from Ward's Island (the residential, east side). (We were on the winter schedule at the time of visiting, so this could change come mid-April.)
• The ferry service is operating at half capacity. 
• *This was our biggest complaint of the whole trip. While staff did take time to sanitize the ferry before disembarking (we watched them do this with a sprayer prior to heading back to "mainland"), we felt that it was still too crowded to possibly be at half capacity. Additionally, people tend to crowd on the outside of the boat to take photos of the Toronto skyline (guilty). 
• While I cannot comment on the washrooms onboard, the two small indoor seating areas on the open air ferries were open. Windows were cracked for ventilation. 
• Washrooms were open on the Island. Other facilities, such as food, were limited. Attractions were all closed.

Recommendations Based on Our Experience

• Bring a cooler and blanket for a picnic lunch. Before heading to the ferry terminal, we highly recommend stopping off at the St Lawrence Market to pick up your picnic supplies. (Please keep in mind, St Lawrence Market also has their own set of protocols in place, and there will likely be a lineup to get in.)
• Bring your own hand sanitizer. You will be outside majority of the time, but it is not widely available on the Islands. 
• Go early to avoid peak times. 
• Once disembarking on Ward's Island, head straight to Ward's Beach (follow the signs, a few minutes walk). Public washrooms are located near the beach. (It was also significantly warmer on this side of the island than the north, city side).
• Dogs are welcome to take the ferry and explore the Island, as long as they remain on a leash. 
• Have fun! 
• Oh, and don't forget your masks. 

Sometimes its easy to forget that isolation doesn't mean you have to stay indoors. The outdoors is good for your immune system and even better for your mental health.

Take the dog for a walk. Dust off the bikes. Turn on your favourite podcast and take a stroll around the block. Or, plan your visit to the Toronto Islands.

As the weather gets nicer, there's not excuses - just GET OUTSIDE.

Family Camping at Albion Hills Conservation Area

Looking to go tent camping, but don't want to venture too far from the city? Check out Albion Hills Conservation Area - one hour north of Toronto in Caledon, Ontario.

Earlier this month, we had the genius (and last minute) idea to go for a fall tent camping trip. As a first for our new family of five (yes, Bear counts as a family member), we wanted to choose some place close to home in case it was an epic fail. After scouring the provincial parks within an 1.5 hour drive and discovering they were all booked up, I remembered there are also local conservation areas that offer camping. So, just an hour from home, Albion Hills Conservation Area it was.

Set in the hills of Caledon on the banks of the Humber River, Albion Hills campground offers dramatic scenery, exciting activities and excellent facilities, just an hour north of Toronto! 

We packed up the car Saturday morning, and hit the road. Check in was at 2pm, so we weren't in any rush to get there. 

When I booked on line earlier that week, the selection was limited. I picked a spot that seemed decent, but with no photos to look at, I didn't really know what we were getting. Turns out, there was a reason that spot (#22) was not booked - it was essentially on the side of the road, with no tree cover. Completely exposed, and that was not what we wanted for the impending rain storm. So, we went back to the main office to see if there were any other sites available. Turns out, it didn't hurt to ask - we got a new site just around the corner, with enough cover to put up a tarp and keep us dry. The spot we ended up taking (Humberside #79), was also along the Humber River, with path access, so the girls had fun walking around in their boots, looking for frogs. I will admit, the site didn't have a ton of privacy BUT, for one night of camping, that was ok by us. 

After the skies cleared and the sun came out, we went for a walk around the other campsites. While closed for whatever reason (assuming either covid or because the season was winding down, we didn't ask), Poplar Circle looked to be the best tent camping sites, and ones we will remember when and if we decide to go back next year. 

With plans to hike the next morning, we took is pretty easy that afternoon, sitting around the fire, reading books, playing with Bear, looking for frogs and eating our favourite camping meal - hot dogs and beans (with some cold Ontario brews for mom and dad, of course). 

After a few toasted marshmallows, it was off to bed... for all of us. I guess that's the thing when you're tent camping with little ones. When they go to bed, so do you. Or at least that was our case - making an exit from the tent is not so easy. 

Check this out >> Whether you're going camping or for a hike with the kids, check out our Nature Walk Scavenger Hunt. (Download for free and print at home for your next outdoor adventure.)

I won't lie, it was pretty chilly. While Bear was perfectly content (and probably slept the best out of all of us), I spent the majority of the night making sure Berks wasn't too cold. Her and I were sharing a sleeping bag, and on a good night at home, she is not a fan of covers. 

We woke up to a layer of frost, and after a quick and chilly breakfast, we decided to abandon our hiking plans, pack up and head home. An hours' drive from Toronto, we can always go back. 

A note about the fire pits - If you are used to camping at an Ontario Provincial Park, you will be used to a metal pit, often with a grate for cooking. At Albion Hills, that was not the case. Instead, it was essentially a large hole in the ground. The sides of the pit were fairly sloped, so I was worried to have the girls sit too close, for fear they would lean in their chairs and fall forward into the fire. A little disappointing, but also glad I brought our portable camp stove, pots and pans as backup because they came in handy for cooking dinner!

Albion Hills has 234 serviced and unserviced sites, with some pull-through sites for RVs.

Overnight rates are extremely reasonable at $37.50 + HST per night (unserviced) and $43.00 + HST per night (serviced - 30 AMP hydro service and water).  Booking fees do apply. More information can be found on the website, here. 

If you plan to go, here are some items you may want to bring:

• Tent (This is similar to the one we have.)
• Sleeping bags (Here is the sleeping bag our daughter uses.)
• Air mattress (with battery-operated pump)
• Ground sheet (for under tent)
• Tarp with string (in case it rains)
• Camp chairs (These are the chairs our kids use.)
• Camping stove with fuel
• Camping utensils (pots, pans, etc.)
• Dishes and cutlery
• Jug of drinking water
• Reusable water bottle
• Portable coffee maker
• Reusable coffee mug
• Cooler (This is the one we have.)
• Lighter and newspaper (for fire - firewood available for purchase)
• Rain boots
• Rain jackets

Camping with a dog? Here is what we recommend you bring (on top of the usual essentials):

• Collapsible silicone water bowl
• Metal group stake
• 20 foot training leash
• Extra towels
• Extra blankets

Not a camper? Not a problem - you can still visit for the day. Check out the website for the cost of a day pass, and activities available. 

Albion Hills Conservation Area is located in Caledon, Ontario at 16500 Regional Road 50, just 8km north of Bolton.

Where to See the Salmon Run in the Greater Toronto Area

What would you say if I told you that salmon can be found in the biggest city in Canada, right here in Lake Ontario? And that each year in the fall, they migrate up rivers, streams and creeks within the Greater Toronto Area to spawn and lay eggs before winter?

Today we're sharing the who, what, where, when and why YOU should experience the salmon run in Toronto this fall. 

Living in Alaska for three years, seeing the salmon migrate to their spawning grounds each year was not something out of the ordinary. In fact, we kind of took it for granted.

But now, living in the big city like Toronto? It's a unique experience that some don't even know about.

Well, it's time you DO! And I'm here to share the who, what, where, when and why YOU should see the salmon run in Toronto this fall. 

More than a century ago, Atlantic salmon were commonly found in Lake Ontario and its rivers. With European settlement came an increase in negative impacts on aquatic habitat, such as deforestation, pollution and development. As a result, salmon populations drastically decreased, and by 1898, they were extirpated (locally extinct/disappeared) from Lake Ontario. 

Throughout the past century Chinook and Coho salmon (both Pacific species) have been introduced to Lake Ontario to enhance recreational fishing, and can now be seen in large numbers in the Greater Toronto Area's (GTA) rivers during fall migration. Recent years have also seen renewed and significant efforts to bring back the native Atlantic salmon to Lake Ontario.

So what's the deal with the yearly migration? Why do animals migrate? Some animals migrate, or travel distances, to find food or more favourable living or breeding conditions. Think birds flying south for the winter, for example. 

For salmon, migration is a big part of their life cycle. Locally, adult salmon spend their life in Lake Ontario. When they come "of age", they migrate (or "run") up streams connected to the lake to spawn. During a salmon run, females will dig broad, shallow nests (also called redds) into the gravel, choosing to lay their eggs in areas where there is fast-flowing, fairly deep waters. The females will then guard their redd for up to 4 weeks, before dying. An adult female can lay as many as 5,000 eggs during this time!  About 3 months after fertilization, the eggs hatch. After a few more months, the fry (aka baby salmon) begin to swim, and over the next 1 to 3 years they remain in the stream feeding on invertebrates, continuing to grow. About 3 years into their life cycle, they become smolts and are now ready to swim back down stream to Lake Ontario. Smolts will stay in the lake for another 1 to 3 years and grow into adults. Then, the life cycle starts all over again.

So now that you know the science behind their life cycle and why they migrate, where and when can you see this salmon run take place?

Salmon runs occur in all of Ontario's Great Lakes, and take place in early September to November when temperatures are between 3 degrees C and 10 degrees C. 

In the GTA, there are several places where you can observe salmon migrating up streams and rivers:

Humber River

Etiene Brule Park - 13 Crosby Avenue, York

Don River

Charles Sauriol Conservation Area - 1191 Lawrence Ave East, Toronto

Highland Creek

Morningside Park - 390 Morningside, Scarborough

Rouge River

Glen Rouge Campground - 7450 Kingston Road, Scarborough

Duffins Creek

Whitevale Park - 371 Whitevale Road, Pickering

Bowmanville Creek 

Bowmanville Creek Fish Ladder - 35 Roenigk Drive, Bowmanville

Credit River

Erindale Park - 1695 Dundas Street West, Mississauga

This past weekend, we ventured to Highland Creek in Morningside Park, Scarborough (390 Morningside Ave, Scarborough, ON) in search of the salmon run. Typically at this time of year, they are hosting their annual Salmon Festival. However, thanks to the pandemic, the festival has become a virtual celebration. Fortunately enough for us, you can still visit the park and see the salmon for yourself. 

From the main parking lot, we ventured west along Highland Creek.  Despite keeping a close eye on the creek, we weren't seeing much movement. Well, except that huge beaver that was sitting on the bank, cleaning itself. The fall colours were stunning, BUT it was a bit rainy, and the girls were starting to lose patience. After walking for about 15 minutes, we came to a bridge over the river. We looked down and there they were... one salmon here, one salmon there. Then we looked further up river, and you could see them jumping out of the water. We knew we had to get THERE. So we turned back and picked up a different trail, taking us right to an area that was being restored as salmon habitat. 

We had finally found the salmon we came in search of. Mom breathed a sigh of relief for not leading everyone astray, and the girls got to witness these massive fish doing their thing. 

Next time, we'll make sure to pack our rubber boots though. 

>> Check out our "Searching for Salmon in the GTA" reel on IG. 

I will agree, this salmon run was a little different than what we were used to in Alaska, BUT it was still pretty amazing to see Mother Nature at work. And in the middle of the biggest city of Canada, at that. 

Have you gone to see the salmon run in Toronto? Or anywhere else? Where and when did you go? I'd love to hear!

Our First Family RV Trip - Road Trip From Toronto to the Bruce Peninsula and Manitoulin Island

With COVID putting a halt to big travel plans this summer, many have turned to staying local. And what is more local than renting an RV and hitting the open road to explore your own backyard? Check out our first family RV trip, where we explored the Northern Bruce Peninsula, Manitoulin Island and Earl Rowe Provincial Park in southern Ontario. 

Earlier this summer, we decided to switch things up and rented an RV. While my parents have had a pull trailer for a number of years, and its become the new norm for our family camping adventures, renting an RV (you know, one that you drive) was a first for my husband, two daughters and I. 

We love tent camping. But travelling in an RV opened up a whole new world to us. We were able to go at our own pace, be on our own schedule, while enjoying the comforts of home that you may not experience tent camping.

Read on to learn where our first family RV adventure took us.

We picked up the RV from Canadream, located in Brampton, ON - one of the only major RV rental centres in the Greater Toronto Area. It may be out of the way for most, but luckily it was right by Highway 410, the highway we would take to get us to the northern Bruce Peninsula.

As renting an RV was a new experience to us, we did learn a lot. BUT, I will keep that for another post.

After we were loaded into our RV, we hit the road, or Highway 410, and drove north. Our first destination was my family’s cottage on the Lake Huron side of northern Bruce Peninsula. We didn’t get a chance to visit last summer - I really couldn’t tell you why - so we were long overdue. With social distancing in effect, we had the entire place to ourselves for two nights. 

This place has a special spot in my heart. My mom’s parents built it in the 70s, and I have been visiting since I was 3 weeks old. That’s almost 35 years. So to be able to share it with our girls, who are the 5th generation to visit, is extremely special. Luckily, they love it just as much as I do.

Some rain and grey weather did not stop the girls from swimming in the lake. Either did the record water level - the highest we’ve seen in many, many years. The lake front at the cottage is not sandy, but rocky. So to access it, many many years ago, my Poppa built stairs into the rock. Sadly, the water level has caused a lot of his hard work to wash away. Water shoes and steady feet are now required to navigate the slippery rocks. 

We had the best couple of days, relaxing, swimming and waking up to the sound of the waves on the shore. But, come Tuesday morning, it was time to pack up early and hit Highway 6, driving 20(ish) more minute north to the end of the road at Tobermory.

Usually a trip to the cottage involves an afternoon in Tobermory - lunch at The Fish & Chips Place, ice cream at The Sweet Shop, beers at Tobermory Brewing Company, checking out the boats. If we’re lucky, maybe we even take the glass bottom boat to Flower Pot Island, or dive the wrecks in Fathom Five National Marine Park. But, not this time. This trip, we were boarding the MS Chi-Cheemaun and heading across Georgian Bay to Manitoulin Island. Something I haven’t done in at least two decades, and a first for Steve and the girls. 

The 1.5 hour ferry ride took us from Tobermory to South Baymouth on Manitoulin Island. The weather was perfect, and we enjoyed sitting out on the top deck, taking in the beauty of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay surrounding us on either side.

I should also mention, despite COVID, we felt extremely safe the entire trip to and from on the ferry. Owen Sound Transportation Company (the company that runs the MS Chi-Cheemaun) has numerous protocols in place for the health and safety of their crew and passengers. Prior to lining your vehicle up to board, they screen everyone in the vehicle with the typical COVID screening questions and ask to see masks for every person. Once you board, you are required to where your mask for the entire trip, something that I thought would be a lot more difficult to enforce during the 1.5 hours with a 2 and 4 year old. Social distancing is in effect inside the ship, from limited seating and directional signage to washroom capacity and no access to the gift shop or cafeteria. There are also a lot of staff on hand, continuously sanitizing the cabin. If you’re planning a trip, I recommend you visit their website to see all COVID safety protocols in place.

From South Baymouth we drove to Gore Bay, on the north west part of the island, to grab some beers from Split Rail Brewing Co and have lunch along the beautiful harbour. This place was something out of a postcard, and we easily could have stayed there for longer. But, out next stop called so it was back in the RV. We had every intention to stop for a swim at the very popular Bridal Veil Falls, but when we got there we discovered the stair access was closed for safety reasons AND, even if we chose to walk in, it was a little too busy for our comfort. So, we kept driving to our destination on the island - Batman’s Cottages and Campground, where we would spend the night. 

I’m normally one for lots of trees and privacy when camping, but for one night, this was the perfect spot. We had a site directly across the street from the beach access, which is where we hung out for the rest of the day. The waters of Georgian Bay were cold, as they always are, but that didn’t stop the girls from going in. Before we tucked in for our first night in the RV, we walked around and explored the rest of the campground, checking out the other sites (it’s fun to see other people’s camping setups), the second beach (which is basically non-existent due to high water levels) and fed the ducks. Marshmallows were roasted around the fire, and we called it a night. It had been a long day.

After a successful night in the RV, we had an early start the next morning, heading back to South Baymouth to catch the return ferry to Tobermory.

Knowing we had to return the RV early on Friday morning, we decided to make the most of the last two nights and book a campsite closer to home. Earl Rowe Provincial Park, located in Alliston, ON, fit the bill. From what we could see, it was an hour from the drop off location and had a beach for the girls. 

Well when we we got there, turns out, the beach was closed because of high bacteria levels. (Cue dramatic sigh.) The big fail on our part was that we were really banking on spending the day at the beach, so we didn’t really have any back up plans. Luckily, we were able to fill the time with walks to explore the park (scavenger hunts and ‘I Spy’ have become recent favourites), playing on the slide and swings, ice cream at the park store and inventing our own games that involved pool noodles, buckets and pinecones. 

When it comes to COVID, we felt pretty safe at Earl Rowe. The park was not busy at all, which gave it a peaceful quiet feeling. Something that is definitely welcomed once you’ve been to places like the Pinery and Algonquin at their peak busiest. Showers were closed, but the play structure was open, making sure to go at times when there weren’t any other kids playing. 

*Side note: I have heard from others that Earl Rowe may have been the exception to a quiet Ontario Park, as others such as Pinery, Algonquin, Awenda, Sandbanks and Bon Echo have been just as busy as they normally are during the summer, with very limited social distancing happening. 

After two successful nights camping at Earl Rowe (seriously, RV or not, there’ just something about sleeping in ‘the wilderness’), it was time to head back to Canadream to drop off the RV, pick up our car and head home.

Drop off was very easy, but again, I’ll save those details for another post. 

In all, it was a very successful 5 days exploring southern Ontario in our RV. I could definitely get used to this way of travel. The only question is, where to next?!

There are so many perks to “living the RV life” on vacation. From planning your own schedule, being able to bring the pets, bringing all of the comforts of home and beyond, I can definitely see why people prefer it.

Long story short, it was an amazing trip and we are already planning another one for next summer. This time, it will be a bit longer and a bit further, hopefully exploring a region of Canada we’ve never seen before.
