July flying by

We had a wonderful visit with Steve and Jan. The weather got baking hot and a day tubing down the Nashwaak River was perfect relief. We also spent some time at Magaguadavic Lake on our favourite beach and finished the visit with a trip to the market.

Steve and Jan posing outside our house!

 Jan really wanted to go up a lighthouse, so these pictures are proof that she got to see one even if it was only in Fredericton!

 We had a picnic at the White Rapids in Fredericton Junction, unfortunately the bugs snacked on us too. This picture was taken before I fell in!

 The day tubing, the yellow one is the cooler tube so we could stop for a picnic part way along.

 Suz and the food!

Magaguadavic Lake, the perfect place for a swim.


After Steve and Jan went to drive down to New York to catch their flight home, Mum and Dad moved in for a week. During that time Josh passed his written test and now has 8 months to practice before he can take his practical test.
With Mum and Dad we visited the site of a  world war 2 internment camp and a museum about it, in Minto. We went across to Deer Island and Campobello Island on the ferrys for the day and did lots of wood collecting, gardening, shopping at yard sales and swimming to keep cool. The temperature hit 39 degrees on Monday which was very hot! Most days have been in the late 20's or 30;s for the past couple of weeks, thankfully this evening the weather has broke with a huge thunder storm lighting up the sky as I write. Hopefully we'll be able to sleep tonight!
After delivering our 2 pigs to Brewbakers we were mentioned as one of their suppliers in the newspaper at the weekend trying to encourage people to buy local. In honor of the weather we've started to sell a BBQ pack as no one seems to want to cook indoors at the moment!
Harriet is currently helping Jen look after all the kids she has while Rich is away on camp, the boys are going to work early on the farm so they can finish before the worst of the heat.

 While the rest of Atlantic Canada basked in the heat we went to Campobello in the fog!

Mum and Dad left yesterday to get their flight from Toronto tonight so now we are visitorless again. Still time to book your flights if you want to come this year!!!
