40 Before 40

As if this blog wasn’t random enough, I’ve taken on a new endeavour! I actually stole this idea from the mother of a friend of mine so please don’t give me any credit. Before I turn forty I aim to swim in forty different lakes. Please note that this does not include rivers, streams, creeks (cricks), seas, lagoons or oceans.  Also, I want to swim in a lake at each of Ontario’s National Parks.

For anyone who follows my blog, you might know I'm trying to swim in 40 lakes before I'm 40! Today I made a #ParksPromise to make five of those lakes be in Ontario's National Parks! #OTS17 @parks.canada . . . . . . . . . . . #discoveron #explorecanada #swim #lakes #travel #explore #lakes #canada #ontario #parkscanada #nationalpark #nationalparks #greatoutdoors #tourismmatters
