Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island

We are finally posting pictures from our trip to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.  We spent a week traveling with Oma in this beautiful corner of Canada.

The Citadel of Halifax


The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world. 



The Bay of Fundy tide comes in faster than any tide in the world (1 foot per minute).  Nathan was on the end of this log without any water touching it when Mom and Dad told him to come back in.  The tide came in so quickly that the log was submerged before he could even get back to the shore!



Hiking Partridge Island

We passed these fishing boats on our way to hike one day.  They were completely out of water.  In fact, you could not even see the water from the dock.

Later in the day, we stopped again.  Same boats.  We passed one more time on our way to dinner, and the tide was so far out again that the boats were completely out of water like in the picture above!

Leaving Yarmouth, NS, by ferry

On the Atlantic Ocean on our way to Portland, Maine.  We saw whales breaching on the trip, but were too busy watching to get any pictures.

Eclipse 2017

We watched with Grandma.  Quite an event on one of the most beautiful days on the water we've had - low tide, low fog, Mt. Baker out in all its glory, and a beautiful blue sky.

It's Crab Season!

In addition to crabbing, we swam, kayaked, and generally  enjoyed the sunshine, view, and visit with Grandma and Grandpa!

Taking a dip.  This picture was taken after all three of these guys had already been swimming.
