PEI Camping

In July our family set out for a little camping trip in PEI. I wanted Adam to be able to see the province since he hadn't been able to go on the Anne of Green Gables Trip. We stayed for 3 nights and had LOTS of rain. In fact, the first night we moteled it because I was not willing to set up camp and pee 4x in the night while it was dumping buckets of rain.

This is the lighthouse at North Rustico.

Here we are at the Greenwich Beach. Luckily the sand there squeaked so Adam got to experience the "singing sands" of Prince Edward Island (they squeak because of their high silicon content).

This is the Province House in Charlottetown. It was fun to tour and learn a bit more about Canadian history.

LOVE the wildflowers...

It was fun to see the difference in the landscape driving through PEI only a month after I'd been there. Many of the wildflowers were already gone and the red potato fields had turned into long rows of green plants growing.

My favorite thing we did on that PEI trip was go to a Ceilidh. This was an evening concert with a fiddle, 2 accordions, and a piano. There was a girl doing some highland dancing and a guest trumpeter. The concert was super informal and the players were really funny. Ryan didn't stop stomping his feet and clapping the whole night, even though it lasted until 10. The performers pointed him out and said he was their number one fan. We had a blast.

I'm so glad we got to make it out to PEI again!
