Rent a canoe for the afternoon at the Annette Lake. I managed to capsize the boat on the way back (against the wind) while little Lucy was on board. The poor thing was scared. We were rescued by a kind stranger who was taking his kids out fishing. The first thing he said to the kids were "now you see why I made you wear life jackets at all time". Among the things I lost to the lake is the car key. Had to hitch a ride to the park entrance to call for help (the only pay phone in the park, ~7km away), as no cell phone signals in the park. I guess I will no longer be entrusted with the kids.
