A chapter a night: Good reads in the Garden

Bedtime was never so much fun
After a much-loved auntie gave me this book to read to my girls, I figured it would be a great way to get them immersed in a longer story that could be told each night, a bit at a time, to kick off our excellent adventure across Canada.

The Secret Garden is a gorgeous tale, and it held their attention big-time. Of course it didn't hurt that we got to tackle it from some of the most scenic locations Canada has to offer. On this particular night, we read a chapter beside French Lake, in Ontario's divine Quetico Provincial Park.
Reading in the dark inside the tent - with everybody decked out with headlamps - is so much fun. I highly recommend it!
