Our Family Vacation!!!

We had a wonderful vacation. It was so great to see Ray, Kendra, and Tyler. We miss you guys!!! And it was just nice to be in the Maritimes. We have a lot of pictures so I think I may have to do 2 separate postings.

We left Montreal on Thursday night and drove to Riviere du Loup. We stayed at the Days Inn and it was quite nice. A big room with 2 queen beds and breakfast included. Then we went out on the little playground at the hotel in the morning. Burn off some of the kids energy before the long drive to Saint John!

We got to Saint John on Friday around 430pm. Ray and Kendra were both home and there was a yummy supper waiting for us!! They're great cooks so of course we had to steal a few recipes before we left!

This is Saturday at the park. Breagha and Dad.

The park was huge and all wooden structures.

I think everyone enjoyed it!

Here's Tyler and Ray.













And the Purdy Gang.














Shamus enjoyed the slide.

Kendra, Ray, Tyler, and Shamus.

And the Grants!! Darn cute aren't they?!

Back to the house to get ready for supper. While Ray and Darryl got the BBQ ready, Shamus and I enjoyed storytime on the front deck. The house is beautiful. Ray and Kendra did a lot of work to it and they did a super job. I loved all the colours.

And then a trip to the Zoo!! There were 2 lions and they started to "talk" to each other. But, I never heard lions actually make a noise before and it scared the crap out of me!!! Out of everyone! Shamus and Tyler got all freaked out and the lions got louder and louder! Kendra taped some of it. It was pretty cool. But, they don't "growl"....they kind of grunt. Hard to explain! But, now I do believe that lions can be heard for up to 5 miles because it was loud!

The Mama's!

The hot Daddy's!! They're pretty darn cute Dad's!!

Tyler and Breagha hangin'.
Ray and Kendra have a firepit in the backyard. It was pretty nice...we had a fire on Saturday night and enjoyed a few drinks.


Shamus loved this! Ray had him "drive" the lawnmower around the house which he thought was awesome.

And a trip to the Maritimes wouldn't be complete without a visit to Pizza Delight! Oh yeah!!! One of my favourite parts! :)

Tyler was teaching Kendra how to colour inside the lines while we waited for the yummy garlic fingers!

We had a visit to the beach. It was really nice. There was a playground there too so Shamus enjoyed that.

Breagha's favourite thing. Get a good grip on someone's fingers and start walking! She would do this alllllll day if you let her. Gets a bit tiring but she likes it!

And that's the trip to Saint John. It was so great and Ray and Kendra were wonderful hosts. We left Saint John and started off for Bangor, Maine.

Stay Tuned.....
