Brrr.... 1st time at the ocean

It's hard to believe that the kids have never been to the ocean because Haiti is surrounded by water on all but one side. However, this is the case. The sun was shining today and so we decided to take a quick trip to the ocean.



Peterson touches the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. Yep... it's cold.



Gaelle looks at a rock. Another reality of Canadian beaches. They aren't all filled with sand. We have a lot of rocky shores.



We introduced the kids to the joy of skipping rocks and just throwing them in the water.



Did I mention it was cold? Ever since I've lived in Grand Manan, I don't go to the ocean without a sweater and long pants in the trunk of the car. Seeing as it's winter, of course the wind is really going to be cold. And it was. But it was worth it. We all had a blast.

Great pictures Beth!! Brrr yes, but how great is it to see the expressions on Peterson and Gaelle's faces when they see and try things for the first time! You will have to bring them down for a trip to Risser's! Love Carol
