Quick March Break Trip to Halifax

Over our March Break a few weeks ago, we needed to make a quick trip to Halifax. We had an appointment at the US Consulate to take care of getting everyone's passports, so we decided to make a little over night family vacation out of it. We stayed at hotel with a family room that a nice little alcove with bunk beds for the big kids. We drove down in the afternoon and then went swimming and had supper before we all went to bed.
 Our appointment was the following morning and after it was finished we went for a quick lunch and then visited the Discovery Center in their new location. It a great place, though a bit challenging to find. I hope their signage improves for the summer. Right now the only sign faces the wrong way on a one way street.

Joash had to get on the tractor, of course.
 We enjoyed playing with the air station.

 And I think the big hit was the electric circuit experiments in the innovation lab.
Overall, it was a good, but quick trip. While we were driving down, there was a blizzard warning issued for PEI, so we left in time to beat the blizzard home. And we were all a bit sick with a cold, but overall we had a good trip.

In the Corn

Mataya got to go with her daddy to check on the corn. It will be ready to harvest soon! They decided to take some pictures. Mataya was so excited, she forgot to let daddy be in the picture. There we go. I thought this was sweet picture of a girl and her daddy.

American Thanksgiving

One nice thing about being from two different countries is that we can celebrate more holidays. And since there are a few more people from the states here, last night we had our own American Thanksgiving feast. There were six couples and all of the wives and two of the husbands were from the States. So the Americans out numbered the Canadians, which doesn't happen very often. And we had a feast. There was turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, bread, stuffing and three different kinds of pies for dessert and a pumpkin cake. It was wonderful. And the fellowship was great too. The hosts said there was no assigned seating, so the ladies all sat together at one of the table and guys at the other. It was funny how it worked out, but we had great conversations full of laughter. It was a great way to celebrate a holiday. Hopefully we have started our own tradition here.

A Perspective

I have already mentioned my "Word of the Day" screen saver that I have on my laptop that is hooked up to the projector in my room. I am learning that the words go in cycles a bit, so the same word will pop up in several classes during the day. Today's popular word was "entitlement." A fantastic word to share with teenagers who often think they are entitled to a whole lot of stuff. In fact, we as humans often think we are entitled to a whole lot of stuff when really we are fallen people who deserve nothing but death. We so often miss how wonderful and blessed our life really is and we get caught up on the little things. This video sort of puts that in perspective in a rather humorous way. I am by no means promoting this comedian, but if you take what he says to heart, it is so true. We live in an amazing world, created by an amazing God. We really should be happy with the blessing we have been given.
