Seeing Sights with Poppie

 Sometimes Jonathan gets to go with Poppie (grandpa) for the morning to see all kinds of places!

 This is one of Jacob's relatives Fishing Boat.

And of course a new playground is always fun!

Random Happenings of August in Nova Scotia

 We visited Jacob, an old friend of my husband, Jacobs... it was fun to meet him and his wife!

 Jonathan enjoyed the big city and especially sitting on the motorcycle.

 And Jonathan got to go to a play place while I shopped at the local second hand store for summer clothes for the FOUR of us for the next 2-3 years! We are packing up some boxes to send on a container boat to PNG... and we will drop them off soon, as it takes 4-5 months for a ship to makes its way over to PNG!

 Trying out our new camera...our nice camera was stolen in the robbery and we were given a old but functioning freebee camera.  We were thankful for it, but now thankful to have the money to buy a better camera... which we wanted to before the baby comes to join our family!

Now, 29 weeks pregnant! Only 11 more to go before we meet our little girl!

Random Happenings of July in Nova Scotia!

 Hmmm... not sure if I could tell it was July, because we were so cold... so windy!

 But we still enjoyed the beach!

 Jonathan experienced his first Vacation Bible School, and loved it! It was called Cave Quest.

 Although he wasn't sure what to make of everyone putting string all over the Pastor at the end!

 All the kids who attended VBS!

 Enjoying visits with supporters!

 Steve and Myra, boat builder and retired Fishery business accoutant

 Jonathan's first visit to the circus!

There were many amazing things... unfortunately our camera didn't take the best of pictures... but Jonathan's favorite thing to watch was the motorcycles going around and around in a big metal ball!

Enjoyin the Beaches and Light houses with Ope!

 The beaches in Nova Scotia are beautiful! But still cold... not sure how people can swim in the water! But I suppose that is because we are used to living in Wewak where the water temp is 90-100 degrees. :)

 Jonathan and Jacob were playing, run away from the wave, so they wouldn't get cold feet. :)

 Cape Forchu lighthouse... on a typical foggy day in Nova Scotia!

 Peggy's Cove...

 Peggy's Cover Lighthouse... we enjoyed the beautiful sunny day!

 Peggy's Cove village

Celebrating Canada Day with Ope!

 We enjoyed watching a typical North American parade on July 1st, the anniversary of the day Canada became a nation!

 Jonathan was a bit overwhelmed with all the sights, but thoroughly enjoyed picking up all the candy that everyone threw for the kids. Unfortunately he can only eat once piece of candy a day, so it is taking a long time for him to finish his bag of candy!

Jonathan's first horse ride at the July 1st festivities. :)

Ope's Visit!

 We met Ope (from California) at Interface a few years ago... and we were so excited that she could come visit us in Nova Scotia! We hadn't seen her in 6 years! We had fun giving her a tour around, and thoroughly enjoyed being a tourist ourselves... as I haven't seen most of what we got to see since we have lived here! Here we are at the top of a replica light house...Seal Island Lighthouse.

 Notice the whale bones just outside the light house.

 The reflectors that make the light so bright.

 View from the lighthouse on a typical foggy day in Nova Scotia.

 Jonathan enjoyed being a tourist too!

 A visit to Shelburne to take a look at the sights.... memorial for the fishermen that have died at sea.

 Finishing the lobster pot, getting it ready for the fishermen.

 I think he uses a 'little' bit of rope for his job!

The Lobster Fishing Boats in dry dock for the off season.... Lobster fishing season starts in November and ends in May.
