Day 15 - Brent hits 2 digits

HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY BRENT!!!!!! He's been talking about this day for months, and was excited to be spending it in Halifax.

We went to church in Halifax, and had planned to return to the trailer for lunch, but then decided to just tour directly from there, and save some time. Brent had asked for pizza for his birthday, so we found what turned out to be an amazing gourmet pizza place for lunch. We then headed out to Peggy's Cove. It had been the big debate whether we really needed to go and see this lighthouse on the rocks, but it did not disappoint! I could have sat there for hours, and the kids could have jumped from rock to rock just as long.

On of my hesitations of this trip is that I don't really like windy days, but the weather (I know...here I go again, but seriously) has been soooo warm that the winds we have had (which haven't even really been all that bad) have been welcoming, and the only thing that keeps me from packing up and moving out here is that the locals keep telling us this is the warmest it has been in over 50 years. So I'm just being thankful that I got to enjoy it!

The only downside of leaving directly from church was that the camera was still at the campsite...so we went to the most photographed lighthouse in Canada, and didn't get a picture. Emily said I can copy some of hers.

Oh, and if you go to Peggy's Cove you HAVE to get ice cream from DeeDee's. Brent got his for free (after he asked the lady if they gave discounts on your birthday)

When we got back to camp, M&E and the girls came for supper and birthday cake. As he was heading to bed, I asked Brent if he had enjoyed his day and he said "Yes, I especially liked it that we had other family here to celebrate with us." That's our Brent. Love you son!!!!

OH!!!! and after church Mark stuck his head under the hood and found 2 clamps that weren't where they should be...that is that weren't sealing hoses the way they should be...the source of our leak!!!!! Fixed with a vice grip...YAY!!!!!!!
