Lets get crazy
This is how crazy we are...Yesterday Randy took the day off work, we packed a picnic lunch and set off to take the kids to Upper Clements Park for the day...but wait...upon arrival UCP is closed for the season!!!!! So we went to the picnic grounds and ate our lunch and sulked for a bit.
Randy started looking thru the NS Tour Book and said he had an idea.
We started driving and two ferries later we ended up on Brier Island, spent the night at the beautiful lodge there and arrived home today. We had a wonderful time...saw whales breaching, hiked to Seal Cove and saw seals, walked the beach picking shells and rocks, hiked to see the Balancing Rock, (on Long Island), browsed some great little shops. I filled a whole photo card on my camera (200 pictures) and made some great memories. The kids are already talking about going back again.
The kids start school on Friday (I know, why Friday?) and I have my 4th chemo the same day, so this little surprise trip couldn't have been a better way to end the summer.
After the kids go to bed I'll post some photos. Oh, we had such a great time.

brier island is in jon's sales territory - i've never been there but it sounds wonderful! i've added it to my list of must-go places for next summer. : )
i was wondering when your next chemo would be - we prayed for you tonight at church.

I second the crazys! I love spur of the moment memories! That's a great way to end the summer/start the fall.
Round 4 - you guys are in our prayers.
