Hello all! :saludando:
I kinda realized the other day that I hadn't been on here much this summer! I'm wondering where the summer went as I am now sending kids on the bus (believe me...NOT complaining about sending them off! They are sooooo ready...or maybe it's me who is ready!)
:
Anyway, my mom is from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia and every year we go to visit family in a little town called Bay St. Lawrence (which our family calls "the bay"). For those of you who have never been...a quick setting.....
It is a small fishing community off of the Cabot Trail. My mom is from a family of fisherman and my favorite Uncle, Cisco, is also a fisherman. In the off season, he does whale watches from his fishing boat to tourists and let me tell you....he is plenty busy! lol This is one of my favorite places to go and I feel so incredibly lucky to have family here to visit! What a beautiful place...the pix really don't do it justice.

This is a view of Pleasant Bay. It is a mountain valley town along the Cabot Trail (@ a half hour from "the bay"), right outside Highland National Park. We had to take this shot cuz my husband found a painting of this place at one of our local antique shops...how weird is that?? :new_shocked:
Here is "the bay"...my papa's house is the (can't miss it) BRIGHT green house (lol), my fave uncle's is the brown one behind the BRIGHT red roof! Colorful folk, ay?? lol
:
One of my uncle's friend's (and technically his competition) fishing boats with a full house on board looking for whales....
Any whales yet??? Nope, just some kayakers (they were pretty far out, too!!). One of them was pulling his kayak up along the edge, then he fell to the ground and started flopping like a seal. We got some extra entertainment that day! lol
Can you imagine living here?? Talk about on the water!
Some pretty scenery from the boat...
My boys, Breton-right (notice the name??) and Loren-left (form of Lawrence...name of the town), on the boat...
is it my turn to drive yeeeeeet???
:
"Look on the other side of the boat!! Pilot whales!!" :new_shocked:
come closer....
show me your pretty face...
we also took Maren (my daughter...name means "of the sea") to the beach for the first time. She LOVED it and couldn't figure out why the waves were pulling her down...we ended up going swimming unintentionally...
:
look at those waves!
Sorry for being so long! Thanks for letting me share!
