We got to Avonlea fairly late in the day, but I think we managed to see most of it. We dressed in costumes and had our pics taken (see below), went on a horse-drawn wagon ride, pony ride and enjoyed a pig race! Fun was had by all.
The next day we went the long scenic route to Charlottetown. We found a nice beach community called Victoria Beach (I think!). The children played at the beach, collected sea shells and a little bag of red sand. Just up the road, we found a seafood shop and went inside to buy lobsters, mussels and some haddock.
In Charlottetown, we went to the Founder's Hall and learned all about the confederation of Canada. Who knew that came about in PEI.....it was news to me. Anyway, after our history lesson we went back to the Wood's house for supper. We cooked up the lobster, mussels and haddock. The children were intrigued by the lobster. The boys got right into the disassembling process! We had a great time and I think most people enjoyed the lobster and even the mussels.
The next morning (which is today) was the day we were leaving. We had breakfast with the Wood family and morning devotions. We cleaned up and got ready to go and then we all went out on the front lawn for group pics. (see pics below) We even managed to fit all of the Wood family and our family into the RV for a group shot. Why you might ask....I say....why not!! We really had a great time reacquainting ourselves with the Woods. Thank you sooo much for your hospitality and gifts. We will miss you and hope to see you again soon (maybe in BC??) :)
We are now in a KOA campground just outside Halifax in a little place called Upper Sackville. Tomorrow we will head into Halifax and see some of the sights, but that is another tale for another time.
Again, we miss you all and think of you all often. God bless.
Oh, I almost forgot, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEY!!!! We wish we could have been there with you, but we hope you had a wonderful day.
