Surprise Saturday

Yesterday afternoon @ Lions Park.

This morning we decided to do something (since we havent done ANYTHING fun in weeks) so I drove us out to Joggins.

The guy who does all the carvings in town lives in Joggins.  He has a few pieces in his yard.

When I used to visit the fossil cliffs of Joggins as a kid, I remember a steep dirt path down to the beach.  The wind was always crazy strong and it was foggy.  We used to be able to just root around in the cliffs and find fossils to take home (I have one large fossil at home, I think its in the garden). But now, big NO-NO. They have built a state-of-the-art museum next to the cliffs and absolutely no one can root for or take fossils anymore. We paid $20 for family of 3.

This glass plate freaked Avery out. We had to coax him onto it.

Looking up to the cliffs from the water.

On the way back to Amherst we stopped at a site they have to watch the Tidal Bore. We were there at the wrong time, it takes place 2 hours before high tide. Oh well.

We got home around 11 am and now are making our daily stop at the library. Exciting huh?!

I'm not sure if we're still going to Chester tomorrow. I'm at the mercy of the dog sitter unfortunately.
