This year, our trip started with Kell, Klea and Chris traveling up to
Fredericton on Aug 11th (around 4 am). We got in Freddy Beach around 3,
did some banking, ate supper at Ringo's (we still don't know why we did that!)
and then slept tight sharing a room with Gerald and Shirley. The next day
we all ate at the Market and did some shopping and then Kell and I (Chris, the
narrator) came home and were back here Sat. night. Klea went with her
Nannie and Grampie to NS to start her visit up there!
She hung out with Those Guys in the camper and traveling around to see folks
for about a week. Then she got to go hang out with Auntie Mel and Uncle
Wade for about a week. That week she also had a night and day with her
Great Aunt Wendy and Big Sarah! She got to visit others as well including,
the LAST day in NS (Sat. Aug 26th) her Great Aunt Teen! Mel and Wade (and
Wendy and Sarah) had a whirlwind visit whisking Klea from place to place and
then we spent one night with her in Springfield before leaving for Nackawic on
Saturday. We spent Sat. night "Downtown" in Nackawic and saw fireworks for
Old Home Day and Klea and Charity took up right where they left off THREE years
ago when they last saw each other - they're gonna be pen pals!
Now we're all home safe and sound and here are the pics that we took... or
others sent to us (PLEASE SEND IN YER PICS!?) ;)
