Welcome to Spud Island

Being on PEI, I feel a little isolated from everyone else on CPO.  I was so disappointed I missed the CPO picnic in N.S. last year that I made a promise to myself I would make it this year no matter what!  So this morning we packed up the car and headed to Truro to meet up with the lovely ladies from N.S.  (btw….thank you all for making us feel so welcome!)

We arrived shortly after noon and met up with Trinity2006.  Unfortunately, she had to leave so it was a quick chit chat, a few pics and she was off.  I love this pic…the girls were having quite the conversion although no one had any idea what they were saying.   It was all “gibberish”.

We were instructed to follow the “smoke” to find the rest of the gang.  There was a pretty good turnout and I was able to chit chat with a few people.  I must say little marcus is every bit as cute in person as he is in his pics.  It was so great to meet more cpo’ers in person.  After lunch, I wanted to get a quick photo of the group before everyone went to separate areas of the park.  Thank goodness for the hubby’s!  Gabby was totally uncooperative.  I tried to distract her with some strawberries, but that didn’t work at all…she wanted down and she wanted down NOW!!

She did discover a bumbo chair…too bad I hadn’t noticed it before.  Notice the change in mood???

Next we headed to the waterfalls.  The scenery in the park is truly amazing and I couldn’t resist snapping a few pics on the way to the falls.

We finished off our visit to the park with a dip in the pool.  What a great pool and $8 for a family of four is a great price!  We were enjoying ourselves so much, we lost track of time.  Here is a pic of the girls enjoying the pool.

It was really great meeting everyone and we had an awesome afternoon.  Tracey…sorry I left without saying goodbye..I hope you were able to get that family pic!   Perhaps you, mike and the boys will pop over to PEI for a visit???  If not, hubby and I are talking about going to the cabot trail for our anniversary this year (sept).  If we do, we will definitely look you up!  MargotB, hubby wanted to thank you for helping him….emilyx3, littlepeanut, cherbear, newmomof3…i’m so glad i was able to meet you all face to face and I am looking forward to next year.  Hopefully we won’t be rushed to get back to PEI and we can spend a little more time with you all.

Hubby is in town as we speak waiting for braeden to arrive home from his trip to new york and i am bracing myself for the smell!!!  a whole week on his own and no mom to nag him to shower?  i have a feeling it is NOT going to be pretty….barf!!

Thanks again ladies!!!!        :)
