Barnston Island

I would have taken some pictures today but it was so very, very rainy and windy out.

Today the kids, Tyler and I met our friends Erin, Ezra and dog Emma at Barnston Island!  We went to visit Teepee, Erin's pony, in the field he has been vacationing on for the past few months now.

We have never been to Barnston Island and I imagine it is lovely when it isn't pouring.  I put Maelle in the Ergo and Loic and Ezra walked until they got too wet and then they rode in the Chariot stroller.  The two dogs had a BLAST running around.  There are not a lot of cars there and the road is really flat so we will have to go back when it isn't so rainy.  Tyler actually seems slightly tired tonight.

We walked about 2 km to see Teepee and then walked another 2km back to the mini free ferry.  It is tiny and takes about two or three minutes to ferry people across.  We walked on and left our cars on the 'mainland' side.

I think Loic had a good time, he and Ezra sure like each other and sang funny songs and ate crackers in the comfy Chariot :)  The baby was awesome - she didn't complain once.  I got soaked and my umbrella slowly broke apart as we walked.

Here is a pic of the tiny 'ferry' from online from a very sunny day, Loic thought it was great.


I am now frantically studying for my Certified Arborist Exam which is on Dec. 1st - ack!  11 Chapters done, 5 to go....then a massive review.
