The Forbes Family: July 2010

Relaxing Day June 30

Serina with Gampy Forbes

Kaitlyn was looking for the wild strawberries

Playing with all the barbies she had accumulated since getting there.

Canada Day at Hopewell Rocks July 1

Something that neither Todd nor I had ever done was walk on the ocean floor when the tide was out at the Bay of Fundy. Nanny & Gampy took us there on Canada Day. It was great. It takes 6 hours and 13 minutes for it to get from low tide to high tide and the tide there changes by 50 feet.

We were walking on the ocean floor

Kaitlyn wanted her picture taken with the danger sign. :)

The sun was too much for Serina.

We walked in around this rock

It was a pretty long walk to get down to the ocean floor and then we were down there for a little while. We were so happy to see that we didn't have to walk back.

Travel day to Cavendish, PEI July 2

We trusted the Garmin to give us the right directions during our travel days and sometimes it wasn't quite right. I guess it is fair to say that we always got there but the routes it would tell us would usually take us longer. The route it gave us towards the NB-Pei bridge turned out to be a good one. We were able to get this great picture of the bridge from side on.

While on the bridge

We made it to PEI

Something that we don't see much of in SK...fields and fields of potatoes.

We spent a quiet night at the cottage that night.

Village of Avonlea July 3

Anne of Green Gables is a large part of PEI so we took the girls to the Village of Avonlea to meet the characters. I think Kaitlyn's favorite part is the sing along. She is still singing one of the songs from it.

I really noticed Kaitlyn grow up on this trip. We wasn't afraid to do anything. I thought that maybe Poppy would have to hold her but she didn't want him to.
