Alrighty...Today was a fun day, we woke up early so that we could head to the Hopewell Rocks that are only visible when the tides out. The constant changes of the tide direction leave enormous rocks standing on whittled little pedestales somewhat like a big fat pig sitting on its high heel like hooves. It was gorgoues however extremly buggy! It was cool looking at all the rocks except apparently flip flops are frowned apon to our dismay as colette and I showed up in them. The muck was almost impossible to walk in and we left muddy from sliding around. We then hopped back in the ol van and went on a secenic route to Cape Enrage...weird name but it in the end it was soo foggy the sites were blurred and we ended up having a windy foggy picnic atop "the most beautiful outlook in all of canada"....or so they say. Afetr this we went back to the cottage where dad and mom played tri-ominos, heidi played poly pockets and i red
Kelly and Pepper in Alma, NB
. At about 5:30 teh oldies decided that they needed a nap so heidi and i ran up and down the stairs for a while and eventually headed outside to do sprints up and down the lane way. About and hour later we all headed to the ocean for some beach combing and walked past two horeses..kelly and pepper that heidi adored(despite being sovered in hore crap). We walked around the end ess ocean floor and all left with handfuls of beautiful scallop shells. By this time it was late so apon returning to the cottage heidi went to bed while the "grown-ups" played tri-ominops...i won both games just for the record:) Thats about it for today, relaxed and fun.Day #13...
This morning began crazily foggy and i was skeptical about heading to the fundy national park for hiking and swimming. I quickly changed my tune when it became sunny skies and hot air. We ended up forgoing on teh hike and spent hours on a gorgoues lake where we ate, heidi made friends, dad and i (mostly me) caught enormous tadpoles, and colette got 3rd degree burns...not literally but they were brutal...someone forgot the sunscreen, ahem way to be prepared mom haha. Anyways it was super fun and we all had a blast. On our way back to the cottage we stopped at wolfe point which began as an endless walk DOWN stair through a forest ended up in teh beach unfortunatley teh walk back was all uphill all up stairs
Kelly + Pepper 2
. We survived and decided it was time to head back to the cottage. We all had a super fun day although colette is in excruciating pain and mu shoulders are beet red ohh wellll....it was fun!Day #14....
Today was relatively eneventful, we said goodbye to our beautiful cottage and headed to Bangor, Maine ( pronounced bang-OR) The us crossing guard was extremly attentive and didnt even check the passengers in the back seat or teh fact that i was holding 19 and 1/2 pounds of tropical fruit, that really helps me sleep at night...NOT! Anyways we stopped at a playground for lunch at this amazing park and heidi made friends and burned off some steam. We spent almost 6 hours in the van and when in BangOR we stopped at a walgreens to get somethign for colettes burnes and chips for me and heidi. We had subway for dinner and just chilled in teh hotel. All in all, uneventful day. We changed some plans and are now taking an easy breezy 10HOUR DRIVE to MtTremblant. YAY i cant wait! Oh well at least w ewont have to do any more long driving after tha, unless dad decides we need to go to lousiana really quick....pray for me haha.
