Hunts Point Lobster and Easter Sunday

We got into our new campsite on Saturday afternoon just as the lobster boats were coming in.  You can see them from our site on the hill.  Lobster for supper was not in the plan but it was a fun experience.

We ended up only getting 3.....

....which came to 5.5 pounds and cost $25.

I never got to play lobsters as a kid, but it looks like fun.

Posing with supper.

Janna would rather have let them go free.

Tori was the master sheller.

Everyone enjoyed the first few bites.  Yvette had a claw worth,  and James and I kept going.

This one was really caught in this bay and would have weighed about 25 pounds.

 

Easter Sunday we started with a sunrise service, breakfast and then an 11:00 service.  In the afternoon we went walking from our campsite.  We called it a rock walk because it was all scrambling over rocks along the coast.  We were basically in the front yards of million dollar houses..........

 ..................like this.

 Just watching the flow of the tide is a fun way to pass some time.

A potential soaker is on the way.

This crew would love to get out on another boat.  There may be a chance.

Good Friday Sight Seeing

We had beautiful weather on Friday, so it was perfect to go for a drive.

 Mahone Bay has one steeple for every 30 people.

 On the scenic route to Peggys Cove there's lots of this.

Peggys Cove (Jake calls it Mrs. White's Cove)

 We stopped at a walking trail 3 km. before Peggys Cove where you could run around without bumping into people.

 It's me who has the thing about getting kids to raise their hands for pictures in grand places.  It's the kids who love to get ocean spray in their faces.

 The memorial behind the girls is for Swiss air flight 111 which crashed just off this coast in Sept. 1998.

 .....in case you miss it in the other pictures.

 It's very difficult to get a picture without anyone in it around here.

 Getting on the wave at the Halifax water front is a challenge......

 ..........but not unattainable.

 Jake wants to wait here till he can tie up a boat.

Pretty close to Halifax.

Ugly close to Halifax.

 Happy Easter to all of you.
Christ is risen.............
........He is risen indeed!

Lunenburg, NS

Sticking at Little Lake RV Park for over a week has allowed us to have great internet access which helps with finishing our school.

There has to be time made for boat racing with a creek this good right out your door.

 Lunenburg's colours come alive in the sunshine.

There are lots of places like this.

 We spent s bunch of time at the library, and near the end found out I could get a library card for a week.  We loaded up and have been enjoying lots of reading.

 Lunenburg was founded in 1753, and is a World Heritage Site because of the streets which have never changed layout since they were first made.
