After such a busy week we decided to give the boys and their parents a day to themselves and we drove over to the Hopewell Rocks at the Bay of Fundy. We have been there once before, when we were here for Will's wedding, but the site wasn't open for the season so we just kind of snuck in. This time we did the whole thing. It is a very well done site, with a big interpretative center (with gift shop!) and trails down to the bay. We arrived at high tide, so you can see in the first picture that the water is high. Low tide was at 7 pm, so we thought we would have to hang around till then, but 7 is when the tide starts to return, so we could go down at around 4. It was amazing to walk where the bay had been covered in 35 feet of water only hours before. Most people just walked around the rocks you see in the picture, but we walked quite a bit further along the water and saw some spectacular rock formations. On the way home we went to a Big Stop for supper.
Weather has been pretty nice, although we were under a heat dome for a couple of days, which is something we don't experience often at home. We certainly don't have the humidity.

Will is done parental leave and they don't have childcare for the summer so there will be a lot of juggling of schedules for them. At least we will be here for a couple of weeks to help out.

Owen calls me Baba and Geoff is Babi. Sim is most interested in the Titanic, he talks about it a lot. We are having a lot of fun with the boys.
