Home to the Motherland - Part 2

Spin for the kids in Grandpa's truck. 

Biked around Western Head with Matt and Courtney. 

Hiked out to the Kedji Adjunct with Matt and Courtney and Zoe and her boys. 

Nana's yummy fish chowder for supper and Nathan dropped by to say hello. 

On Wednesday we drove up to Shubenacadie to raft the tidal bore.  Zoe and I happily sat it out.  Once was enough.  Everyone else had a fab time.  Especially sliding in the mud.  

Before

After the rafting and showers we drove to Peggy's Cove to meet Mom and Dad and Hannah (who they had just picked up from the airport) The rocks were outrageous and the sunset fabulous. 

Thursday afternoon we went to Ponhook lake. 

Grandpa always puts a card on file at the snack shack and you can go get a free

ice cream cone by giving them the passcode "GP"

Then we went candle pin bowling downtown and everyone thought the tiny bowling balls were a hoot. 

Hell Bay brewing after for a drink while the kids played Granny in the waterfront park.  We walked out in the dark and we could see them all sprinting around and hiding.  So much fun. 

Main and Mersey coffee and pastries every morning!

Then a walk through Crosby Garden Centre 

Then Summerville beach and jumping off the train bridge for those 

who wanted to brave the cold water. 

Warmed up in Zoe's Airbnb hot tub

Ended the day and the week with a little concert at the 307 Main Street venue.  

Ripples were up and dancing. 

Then a walk to Kwik-way and the annual ice cream selfie. 

Best week of the year.
