Vacation, Day 6, Rain Day

Today was a cloudy rainy day. We were bound to have at least one. I'm just happy that we've only had one and not a weeks worth.

That meant a more low key day. Before the rain came, we headed to Brakley Beach. Gwynne had fond memories of camping by this beach when she was a girl. This was my favorite beach so far even though we only put our feet in. It had that wonderful tall grass and high sand dunes that you see on the East Coast.

It was super windy and the waves were weak.

We just stopped for 30 minutes before we went to lunch. The kids still had fun running around.

These little guys are so cute together.

Here's Noah.

You'd think by the sky that we would get a downpour, but it just sprinkled.

Alisa and Daniel on the beach.

Noah and Rachel sharing rocks.

Emily's best wind blown look.

David skipping rocks in the ocean. One of his favorite activities.

The kids building a sand castle.

David loves this tall grass.

And look, I'm in another picture!

Emily rides in the car with Alisa and her family. Greg and Rachel think Emily is the best thing since sliced bread, so they like her with them in the car. Every time we leave an activity that both families did together, we get home and Alisa's group comes home 30 minutes later after a stop at Cows, like Ben & Jerry's. Cow's was great, but a little expensive, so we went once for the experience and that was it. I felt bad for Ben and Noah, so we went to a smaller ice cream stand and got them ice cream.

It was just as good and half the price!

The cookout got cancelled due to the weather, but we still had the wine and cheese appetizer hour. This was most of the group in Uncle Terry's cottage. I had to take 2 photos.


Then, we came back to the cottage and had some leftovers. I did a load of laundry. And low and behold, most of the gang were still at Uncle Terry's. Uncle Mike and his wife Mireille came in last night. So, he had the guitar out.


And for Amanda's Mom, we gave her some wine!

And Spencer went in the ocean with Uncle Terry without his life vest.

Ok Susan, Auntie Barb told me to put those on there to be funny.

I was loving on some little ones.

Uncle Mike gave my kids a guitar lesson.


Amanda played a little guitar.

Here's Spencer and his Grandma, Auntie Barb.

Then Emily played the guitar. I think she liked it.

We were just as corny as the Von Traps and actually ended the night with the So Long, Farewell song.

Tomorrow, we are headed to Charlottetown where Emily and her Grammie are going to see Anne of Green Gables the musical. And the cookout got moved to tomorrow at our cottage since it's the largest and can accommodate everyone better. Let's hope the weather cooperates.
