Hole In The Wall, Grand Manan Island, NB

Hole In The Wall, Grand Manan Island


Welcome Back!

This week I'm highlighting some photos from a campground and nature trail, called the Hole In The Wall...We didn't know what to expect when we first went there, but found it to be a cool nature trail, that wasn't too, too long (especially for little legs, like our girlies had way back in the day!)

There is a 2.00/person admission fee. For kids, they offer a scavenger hunt and if you complete all the questions, you get an ice cream at the end of it. Unfortunately our kids are too old for such fun now! We're lucky they like hiking and nature, so we don't have to bribe them!

Anyway, here are a couple of photos from the trail along the way and then shots of the actual hole in the wall. In the 3rd last photo, if you look closely, you'll see Kevin standing on top of it!

More from this area next week too!

This week went by fairly quick. I was so glad to finally finish the PHP course. I had a few issues, so finally submitted the last assignment and wrote the exam on Thursday. I'm officially a Web Designer now..Whoo hoo! I then started my Accounting course...lots of fun...not.... it's pretty basic and somewhat of a refresher for me, so hopefully I'll get thru it quickly!

Have a great week!

Swallowtail Lighthouse, Grand Manan Island


Welcome back! This time I'm highlighting the LAST of the Swallowtail lighthouse photos...I'll bet you will be happy to move on...I think I have photos from our whale watching cruise up next...I still have to go through them all----about 500! Yikes, I better start that now!

This week, I worked on the PHP course again...yuck..I don't like it at all...another programming language that is so complicated! Luckily, Kevin's been helping me out or I'd still be stuck on lesson 4! I'm on the last lesson, so I'm hoping to be done it by Tuesday at the latest! :-D

Kevin and I went out for dinner on Friday night and on the way home we stopped at a park we frequent quite often, Fairfield Historical Park....we saw some geese and duck babies.. Unfortunately, I didn't have my Nikon with me, so we went to Kingston today so Kevin could get a haircut and we stopped on the way back. We only saw the geese and they didn't come too close so hopefully, I got a few good shots...The mayflies were the worse today...I'm still picking them out of my teeth! :-)

Have a great week!

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting some more photos of the area surrounding the Swallowtail Lighthouse, these include various views of the cliffs, rocks, water and cove. It's such a cool area and I wish I was there right now!!!

Sorry, I didn't post last week! We were busy painting and when I wasn't painting, my laptop was buried under trim, etc...

Keturah had a great trip and got home on Tuesday night, very late! Brooke has resumed working at the ONRoute again, but is looking elsewhere too!

School is going well..not enjoying the PHP course that much, it is very challenging and there is so much to learn! I just have to get through a couple more lessons, then I'll be finished the Web Design program. Whoo Hoo! I will then have a couple of elective business courses and I hope to be done by the end of June as I think we are hoping to go to Grand Manan Island in early July.

We headed to Algonquin Park yesterday, just Kev, Zeek and me! We walked a few trails and tired out our pooch. We saw a couple of moose on the way out of the park, so I'll highlight photos of them in the near future too!
 
Have a great week!

Welcome Back!

This week I'm highlighting more photos from the Swallowtail Lighthouse...these include the ferry and some views of the rocky cliffs too! There are lots of rocks to climb on, so you can get a workout in as well. :-) Our little dog, Zeek, loves climbing and the rocks as well as our kiddies!

This week went by fast! I just finished the Portfolio course on Thursday...waiting for a couple of friends to review it and then I'll submit it for marking. No exam with this one! Yay! I got my PHP course on Thursday..it's my last Web Design course..it looks hard though..another programming language! Luckily, I have a built-in tutor with Kevin working with PHP all this year!

We got Brooke home safe and sound on Sunday and she's looking for summer employment. Keturah left yesterday on her school trip to Europe...They are going to Amsterdam, Berlin, Dresden and Krakow, Poland. They get to visit Auschwitz, Schindler's Factory, a bunch of museums and march in a Victory in Europe celebratory parade, representing Canada..pretty cool! She made it there safe and sound and texted me very, very early this morning!

Have a great week!
