capr jourmain!

chris and i.  a rare spotting of us. haha

joey reflecting on life

i booked a visit to cape jourmain!  i have never been there before!  i drive past it all the time. i got us a tour for FREE.  i was thrilled at that!  we ended up turning it into a full day.  we went on 4 separate tours.  we did 2 in the morning lunch and the last 2.  then we had the museum and interpretation center, because i added 3 extra kids to my van i decided to skip the last part because by this time it was almist 4 and i was tired.  by the end of the day we walked over 25,000 steps!!

the 4 tours that we went on were....the lighthouse, the beach, the bird rescue/geo tec and the trail to the islands.   

the restored lighthouse 

it was weather wise, the perfect day!  no bugs! light sun, wind and cool.  it was the trip i enjoyed most this year!

maria taking notes!

beach and the bridge to the island 

we collected shells and other interesting items to show and tell at the end 

gotta say i got into this part!  i found almost everything on the list 

we visited the look off after lunch 

learning about ways to save the environment and bird migration....i spent this time on the phone with nate who was on an adventure with nathan....involving the american border, big plans of sleeping in cars and learning about the law....cough.....

then we took a little stroll to the island area. little as in a good 5 km one way

poor zeke. he was out cold. we did a lot of walking the kids did great.  i didnt know it would involve as much walking...but our group had mostly older kids so it was ok

beautiful afternoon

some of the group.  we had a good turn out. i think there was 30 kids and about 10 adults.  after the hike part we split up to finish touring the cape with your family.  i took my crew home.  im thinking ill book again come fall
