Trip to St. Andrews with Friends

Amanda and I … and the kids went for a trip to St. Andrews yesterday. Larissa stayed home to work and do taxes. I was originally planning to head to Fundy, and Amanda was going to go to St. Martins – but the tides were no cooperating and we decided to go together for a trip. We went to the Kingsbrae Botanical Gardens and then had a picnic at the massive play structure nearby.
What an adventure 2 adults and 5 kids aged 9 and under. I missed the turn off and ended up going on 4 to 630 then down to 1 and back over to 127, instead of just taking 3 to 127. Oh, and we had one roadside shower after Cassidy tossed her cookies. :)
All was well until Alex had to join in the fun and leave his cookies at the playground :P
Poor kids…..poor adults….
In the end we all had fun, and made it back in one piece.

Bushwhacking in Western NB

A very good friend of ours recently bought some land near Florenceville – and we had the pleasure of visiting her and her son. Relaxing out on the ‘back 40’ was great and time flew by – before we knew it we had spent 8 hours there.
We arrived and had a chat, and soon set out on a ‘little’ tour of the property. I wouldn’t say we got lost, we just over shot our destination a couple of times ;)
We had a great trek, found a part of a moose skull, and had a tangle with some bald face hornets. Most of us thought of this as a fun, but long adventure – until the hornets showed up. Lucky for everyone else, that Larissa is a magnet for bugs of any kind. I think we actually stopped on their nest! Larissa got 8-12 stings and the rest of us were spared – thanks Larissa!
Unfortunately it wasn’t enough to just get stung repeatedly, she had to go and develop a skin infection from it – poor girl.
After the ‘adventure’ we relaxed and had a great lunch, and then time just slipped away….
