Breakfast & A Walk

My parents had never been to the PEI Preserve Company, so we figured, even thought the weather was a bit cool, we had to take them.

IMG_6259

We started with the traditional Pipe & Drum photo…

 

IMG_3646

followed by the obligatory rock photo.

IMG_6264

We discovered that the restaurant had switched to fall hours, & opened later, so we took our walk around the grounds before breakfast.

IMG_3656

We started with a swing in the hammock…

 

IMG_3659

followed by a restful gaze at the river.

 

IMG_3676

It was a very chilly morning, but it was a good way to work up an appetite!

IMG_3692

Breakfast was once again, delicious!

A Gathering of Grandparents

Since PChad’s & my parents all live far away, we have fill-in grandparents for the kids.  We often spend a morning out at Mr. Harrie & Miss Geesje’s farm, & the kids love seeing all the cows & cats, & getting to run around in the yard.

IMG_3601When my parents were here, we thought it would be nice for the two families to meet each other, so we spent another wonderful morning out at the farm!

IMG_3604

We enjoyed a few cups of coffee, & then got a grand tour of the grounds.

IMG_3609

We consider ourselves fortunate to have such a wonderful family in our church who is willing to let us visit so often!

Playtime With Grandma

(and Grandpa, but he was taking pictures)

 

IMG_3854

One sunny afternoon, the kids spent some time outside with Grandpa & Grandma.

 

IMG_3857

They enjoyed some snacks at the mini picnic table…

 

IMG_3859

and went for a little drive.

 

IMG_3864

After that, there was some tree climbing

(which Grandpa & Grandma just watched)

 

IMG_3865

 

 

IMG_3866

Then Grandma read some books outside!

 

IMG_3868

 

We really enjoyed spending time with my parents & I know the kids had a great time too.  We wish we could see them more often, but we pack in as much as we can when do get together!

Chancery: “Ginger is going to meet a snake!”

 

IMG_6278

Asher: “It’s ok, it’s a friendly snake!”

 

IMG_6279

Chancery: “Well, Ginger is a little bit afraid that the snake will bite her.”

 

IMG_6280

Asher: “There’s nothing to be afraid of.  See, it doesn’t bite!”

 

IMG_6281

Chancery: “That’s amazing, Asher!”

 

IMG_6282

Asher: “It really is a very friendly snake!”

 

IMG_6283

Asher: “Say hello to Mummy, snake!”

Cows

Herding cattle can be a lot of fun!  But I’m not sure this would work for very long.  Eventually the cattle would probably stomp on the car…

HAPPY FRIDAY!

More Lighthouses

IMG_3444On our way back from the East Point lighthouse, we stopped at the Shipwreck lighthouse.

 

IMG_3449There wasn’t much to see at the lighthouse itself, since it’s not one that’s open to the public, but we walked around a bit & enjoyed some nature.

 

IMG_3453

I found a nice place to sit, & was soon joined by Chancery…

 

IMG_3462

Though it looked odd from afar, it really was quite comfy!

IMG_3465

 

It was nice to be able to enjoy another nice day in PEI with my parents!

The East Side

Last week, Chancery & I took my parents to see the Eastern point of the Island.  Our first stop included a walk across a bridge in St Peter’s.
IMG_3389
It was a good opportunity to stretch our legs before we continued on.

IMG_3410
Stop number 2 was at a beach glass jewellery place.  Chancery keep herself entertained with the beach glass she found on the porch, & some little bugs from a tic-tac-toe game.
IMG_3417


IMG_3420
She washed every piece of beach glass in the rainwater that had collected in the dish.  I’m sure the owners were thankful for her help.  I have found that she is a lot easier to keep entertained than Asher is, & I’m thankful that I have the opportunity to spend a little more time with her now.

Asher: “Chancery is feeling a bit grumpy this morning.”

 

IMG_6273

Chancery: “Don’t touch me!”

 

IMG_6274

Asher: “But when someone gives you a hug, it lets you know that they love you, & I love you, Chancery!”

 

IMG_6275

Chancery: “You’re right, Asher!  Thanks for the hug!”
