Laughter & Tears

My parents' yearly visit had already come and gone, so we thought. But we received a phone call last week that one of my dad's brothers had unexpectedly died. He lives close to us in NS so my parents were on their way back up. The kids were beyond excited to have them back and told them they needed to stay for "17 days". Altho the reason for their quick return trip was tragic and really beyond belief, we were glad to see them again.



Mom and Gaelle went for their long walk to the market. It's now tradition to come back with Cheesy Chips. It's their thing.



Robin made a sand box for the kids (Gaelle says it's for EVERYBODY.) and she convinced Grampy to sit with her and play. Good times.



We celebrated Victoria Day on Monday with a trip to the Dingle Park in Halifax. We've been tellling the kids how cold the water is and they found out for themselves. But they still had fun in the sand.



We had some beautiful weather and had a chance to eat outside. For some reason, food always tastes better when it's eaten outside.
