Well...here we are (McKenzie and Bailee) in Canada! Yay! We both waited for this trip with much anticipation. I sorely miss my Buxton family who moved away last year on the 24th of July. They moved to Nova Scotia, Here we are in front of a beautiful lighthouse! Haha. Well we did quite a bit of touring Halifax. There was so much to do. Here's the highlights of my trip:
Queensland Beach
The beach was extremely pretty and really fun. It was a pretty hot day. Travis got in the water and tried catching some fun ocean creatures. Bailee and the girls played in the sand and dug a big hole for no apparent reason. I laid out and fell asleep and oh yeah...I got burned, baby burned! OUCH
Public Gardens
Public Gardens were so beautiful. I took ever so many pictures of the most random things. The funniest thing that I learned about these Gardens is: There was a man who was accused of a crime and was hung to death. Later on, they found new enlightened evidence that they had had the wrong man. So, to make up for their blunder, they named a pond after him, which is in the public gardens. Funny, huh!
Peggy's Cove
This is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world and also well-known. This was probably one of the most exciting things that I did on my trip. The beach is not a normal beach with sand and all. The beaches at Peggy's Cove are all white rock. And...it is everywhere. There were hills up and down galore! I had a tremendous amount of fun climbing them with Madison, Brooklyn and Ba. I simply loved it!
Prince Edward Island (P. E. I.)
Anne (with and E), Anne, and more Anne. P. E. I. was all about Anne as you can tell. Every single gas station, super market, high school, etc... was related to Anne. It was great though. I have wanted to come here since I was a wee thing, and I finally did. It was great and beautiful. The house above is the house that Anne of Green Gables (the book, not the movie) is based on. The house they filmed the movie in is located somewhere in Ontario, but they filmed some of the outdoor scenes in P. E. I. I had a lot of fun walking down by the famous red sand beaches that the province in known for. We toured the Anne's house and also the authors house. There were many things down town in Charlottetown. They had a live band singing in French, as they were from Quebec. They were really amazing. I walked along the harbor and visited many cute shops. Best of all was the COWS Ice Cream shop; it was tasty. There is actually a cows ice cream in Park City, Utah; it will be on my To Do List next time I visit!!!
