This morning Matthew's parents headed back to Saskatchewan. We had them here for almost 2 whole weeks! It was sad to see them go. We had such a lovely visit and got to see several beautiful places with them. It is so much fun to show family where you live. (Even though we've only been here a year and Matthew only got to be here part-time during that time, we still say we live here!)
They arrived on the evening of August 11 and the next morning we found Janice's sister Gayle and her husband Steve at church. We were shocked! And much to our delight we were able to spend several days with them before they carried on with their travels to Newfoundland. We totally enjoyed getting to know them better while we explored new sites. We have many lovely memories from our time with all four of them and we will treasure them always!

| Went to the Baptist Church in Cavendish on Sunday morning to hear my beautiful friend's dad preach. Fantastic morning! (Don't know why this text is large....but I can't seem to change it....) |
 |
| Stayed a night in Moncton on the way home fro PEI so that we could explore the Hopewell rocks on the Bay of Fundy. |
 |
| This is 2 hours after high tide, so the water is down a bit but still quite high. |
 |
| Being oh so handsome again! |
 |
| We love our toe shots! Bottom of the Bay of Fundy. |
 |
| This is the next morning about 2 hours after low tide - the water is still WAY down! |
 |
| Cool shadow on this one; peeking out between two huge rocks towards the water. |
 |
| Cool bark on our walk down to the rocks. |
