This past weekend the kids finally took their first "international" trip. Gabe had a conference in St. Andrews, New Brunswick so we tagged along... it was barely over the border from Calais;) But, it was an hour ahead in time which threw everyone for a loop. We are glad that we went and hotel/conference center was beautiful. However, Audrey had an ear infection and wasn't super cooperative for any of the trip, especially the part where we all slept in the one hotel room... I am hoping that this was just a fluke or we may not be sleeping away from our house for the next 6 months;)
We did get to experience a cute coastal town and all it had to offer. The aquarium was a big hit with everyone except Ben, so as a result there are only these 2 pictures... The one of Audrey with the skate is one of my favorites. She thought it was smiling and talking to her. While Gabe was at the conference the kids and I got to explore the block house and learned quite a bit about the Canadian/US opposing involvement in the War of 1812... it is fascinating and the kids are still talking about it. We also stumbled upon a lighthouse downtown and a nice walk through the woods to a fairly secluded tract of land along the ocean. James found some rocks that fit together into what looks like a star destroyer (from Star Wars). He carried them all home and they are now hot glued together in our living room.
Amongst the chaos of travel, Noah lost his first molar at the playground! He had been telling me for about 48 hours that it was loose, but I thought he was just jumping on James' loose tooth bandwagon and presumed that we had months before it was loose enough to fall out... it didn't even bleed and the other tooth was already through... I aspire to better parenting for the next one;)
