Today is our grand-daughter's friend's
last day on the island
We will be on the river
in the middle of the night
as we head to the mainland
We will drive an hour or so to the airport
We'll say good-bye to
a very sweet girl who
loves ice-cream cones
for dessert
and
drinks water
like it is going out of style!
It has been
'lots of fun'
having the
'girlfriend'
visit us on the island
We were up early this morning
to partake in a
dock breakfast
The girls had the honour of being photographed
with our
Canadian astronaut
who spent his childhood summers
on the island
as did our children
As the girls were walking away
he called them back
'Let's all fold our arms'
he said...
SO
They did what they were told!!!!!
The girls are displaying the club house
where our son
will be married in two weeks
According to the grand-daughter
the friend was imitating her
from an earlier incident
Papa went over some waves
and the girl went flying off the seat
LOL
The girlfriend loved the boat
and was very friendly
waving to all the passing boaters
When we arrived back at the cottage
our neighbour brought over his
kitten who is a 1/2 sister to Bing
Well
The three animal lovers
thought one kitten was not good enough
so we went over to check out
Bing's brother
who travelled with Bing
from Nova Scotia
Well
That wasn't good enough either
SO
the granddaughter went back to the cottage
and brought over Bing
The sister was checking him out
You smell familiar!!!!
Of course Gwendolyn had to be
in on the action
The girls hit the water for a one on one
volleyball game
Once again,
Gwendolyn was in on the action
Fun in the water
On to a quiet time
Between the girls they have
read 5 books
since being at the cottage
The grand-daughter
We took the girls to the tip of the island
and as you walk out
you have to 'fight' the water
as the current is 6 knots
The girls are out there
It took them forever to walk out
and seconds to come back in
as they floated underwater
Here comes the captain
He dropped us off
while he went to the mainland
to get gas
Chillin in the river
The friend asked the girlfriend
to sum up her holiday
in three words
SUPER DOOPER FUN!
Thank you for everything! The pics have been great! Tina
ReplyDeleteMany a childhood did I have super dooper vacations on that island as well. I hope the kids are having as much fun as I did with Jen. JUst read quite a few of yours blogs and thought they were wonderful. You never age my dear and looked just gorgeous in Janettes party pics as usual. Hope the wedding is wonderful and the weather terrific. Also hope my parents can get up for a visit it would mean the world to me if my Dad could make the trip and be well he loves it there as much as I do. All my love. Kelly
