Vacation, Day 9, Our First Leg Home

Well, we made it to Halifax today. It's a 3 1/2 hour drive. This was our first leg of our journey home. Tomorrow morning, we take 3 planes and get in Phoenix around 3:00. Then, we make our final leg home to Prescott Valley. We'll be tired, eh?

I got the cottage all packed up this morning. We were sad to say goodbye to Cottage 123 as we know we will probably never be back.

Emily got to see the house that the kids from Anne of Green Gables actually lived in.

And this was their record player.

We said goodbye to all the relatives. Here's Gwynne with 4 of her siblings.

On the way out of town, we went to Cow's to get ice cream for for breakfast. It's okay to eat ice cream for breakfast on vacation. Then, we stopped at the dinosaur museum. It wasn't the greatest.


The kids thought it was fun though. I'm going to take them to see Sue in Chicago at the Field Museum sometime. They'll be really impressed.

The best part was the petting zoo where they all got to feed a 12 day old calf.


And our cousins Spencer just happen to show up with Francois while we were there. He fed the cow too.

Noah liked the little bouncy frog.

Then, we made the long drive back to Halifax. We got pizza and went to Uncle Pat's house who is still in PEI. We went swimming. I had been trying to get a picture of these two guys together the whole week, but one always had shoes on or something. Greg is 4 months younger than Noah.

We had fun swimming.




And one more of my girl looking beautiful.

Then, it was time to say goodbye. I hate saying goodbye. The kids love their cousins so much and we have such a fun time.

Now, it's time to get in bed and get ready for the trek home. I'm already exhausted.
