Rainbow Haven Beach - Eastern Passage

The Sprout and me.

Photographic evidence that Dark Mirror is capable of both a day on the beach and getting a little bit wet.

Wild Thing ought to be in pictures...

This is Papa Pan's beach; as in, he grew up directly across the road from it. There used to be a camp here for underprivileged city kids. Growing up, Papa Pan always wondered how come he didn't get to go to camp, cause he was really poor too! Now he knows what a blessing growing up on this beach was.

Nature Girl was on a playdate with a friend, she spent the day climbing trees and exploring an entirely different beach. We ended our day with Fish and Chips at John's Lunch and came home with a huge tub of clams. Nature Girl had pizza and came home with clam shells.

How's the weather?

A week ago the kids were out in the misty rain riding their bikes on the driveway. Please excuse the lack of helmets they haven't been found in the moving boxes yet. It was 15 degrees out.

The next day it started to snow, and snow, and SNOW. It hasn't left and I am KICKING myself for leaving our skis behind because, "We won't get any use out of them until January".

The hardest thing for me to get used to here is how variable the weather is. In a 3 hour period we can go from misty, to sunny and fairly warm, to driving snow, to clear with a bitter wind. Every day is a susprise and my weather predicting ability is limited to "Red sky at night sailors delight, red sky at morning sailors take warning".

The Wild Thing...

Here is the Wild Thing glowing angelically in his robot costume.

"I shoot you! Bijou! Bijou!"

It is interesting that despite growing up thus far in an anglo enclave in Quebec, that his sound effects all sound French.

Now that we've moved to Nova Scotia I wonder what will come of his accent?
