July 1st!
HAPPY CANADA DAY!
It is a humid and warm one here. The sun appears to be peeking out.
H will be on her way home from PEI. It was rainy and dark the whole time they were there :( They stayed in a friend's cottage the first night and the second was going to be spent in the tent.
Well, it didn't happen because the rain was lashing down and there was thunder and the ground was mud, so they all spent a very uncomfortable night sleeping in the car. Next day was continued rain, and the prospect of another night in the car. Hard to have fun at a beach in the rain .
I found a cottage nearby that could sleep 7, booked it, and with the help of some other parents paid for it.
H called me just after they had checked in to say THANKS!!. She told
me that when they opened the door and walked in they all started
screaming and jumping up and down as teenage girls do when happy and
excited.
So glad to get out of the wet weather and into the warm and dry. First thing they did was make tea.
Then went out to visit Green Gables, Anne's House.
Anyway, despite it all I think they had a great time. First time camping did not work out so they will try it again another time. A learning experience for all.
