March Break/Easter Re-cap

Hi!

I'm finally back to the same ole routine!  
Yesterday was the first day back to school and work for everybody.  Even I had to work!
However, there was a wind storm (with a bit of snow and ice) so school was let out at 11:50 and work was cancelled at 1:00.  I was working in Kensington, so I ended up just driving the 15 minutes to Summerside to wait out the "storm" at my in-laws.  I had a nice visit and got home around 7:00.

We ended up going to Halifax for a couple nights over March Break.  We stayed in Bedford with Ken's Uncle and Aunt.

We woke up early (6:45)  on Thursday morning and got on the road around 7:15.  K drove and everybody else slept until we stopped at the Irving Big Stop in Aulac, NB for breakfast.

We drove to Dartmouth, NS where we had lunch at the Wooden Monkey at the Ferry Terminal.
See the wooden monkey head just to the right of N's head?

Since we'd eaten breakfast not too long ago, it was just a light lunch!

Here we are waiting for the ferry to go across the bay to Halifax.

It was everybody's first time on the little passenger ferry!

Up on the top deck.

We walked up to the Halifax Central Library.
       

Then we walked to the Museum of Natural History.
K and C are checking out some frogs. 

Here's N.

This is the almost 100 year old tortoise named Gus.

This was a neat installation that showed how water flows around sand.  It was done by a projector.

Here's a quartz crystal.  I told C how my dad used to go to Crystal Island at Camp Yorktown Bay near Hot Springs, AR to hunt for crystals like this.  Then I noticed that it was from Hot Springs!  Funny!

Back on the ferry.

Here the kids are checking out the new playground equipment in Bedford.

We made it home Saturday around 4:00 and decorated Easter Eggs after dinner.


These are C's eggs on the left.  She got into Emojis this year!
(The ones on the right are ones K or I made.)

These are N's on the right.

Now, we're all back to school and work after a great break!
Have a fantastic day! :-)
