The weather was looking a little iffy but we decided we would drive to Kincardine to check out the beach anyway. We drove through some light rain but arrived in Kincardine to find that even though the sky was still cloudy the rain had stopped. It actually was a good day to visit the beach --- no wind so the water was still and few people as the clouds and chance of rain kept them away.

A happy dog is a dog standing in a lake with a ball in his mouth.

Zaph and Cait had a great time chasing balls and swimming. It took Cait a couple of tries but she figured out how to grab the ball in the water.

There was a lot of running on the beach carrying balls.

After a picnic lunch, Zaph and Cait went shopping. The woman in the store thought the two of the them were adorable and kept giving them treats. Zaph tried out a new dog bed and wasn't impressed. I showed Zaph a cookie and before I could react he took a great big bite. Think the dog store version of "you break it you buy it" is "you bite it you buy it". Zaph enjoyed the remainder of the cookie outside the store.

We liked the painting on the side of this building. Caity could have posed for the painting of the upper left window. The Kincardine Lighthouse.

Taking a break while the guys photographed the lighthouse.

Ed and I very excited to learn that there is a Dairy Queen closer than Sauble Beach --- a Dairy Queen opened in Kincardine about 2 weeks ago and yes we had ice cream.
