Lost for Good

Today's Highlight: Aiden lost his first tooth! It has been very loose for a few days but Aiden has continually refused Sean's offer to pull it out (I don't blame him). This morning while eating his peanut butter and jelly sandwich it seems that he swallowed his tooth. Aiden was a little upset that the Tooth Fairy would not visit without a tooth under his pillow. We decided that even though the Tooth Fairy may be a little disappointed in not receiving a tooth, a note explaining the situation should ensure money would be left.


Before breakkie, Sean and Aiden were up and exploring the beach while I showered. We decided to stay a second night here since there were a number of things to do in the area and Aiden was having so much fun with Megan and Emma and the big jumping pillow.

With Aiden having a number of distractions, we did not get a very early start this morning. We headed off along Marine Drive and saw some beautiful coastline. We took a detour and went up to Mt. Clarence (186 m) for a geocache and a nice view of Albany.


Down to the historical business section of town for lunch and then toured the boat “Amity”. The town has built a replica of the brig 'Amity' and it sits near the harbour. The original 'Amity' was built in Saint John, New Brunswick and was launched in 1816. After numerous discussions, Aiden still choose to believe it was a pirate ship and was very pleased he was able to go below deck and check things out.



We traveled Frenchman Bay Road stopping to see 'The Gap', the 'Natural Bridge', 'the Blowholes' and Stony Hill lookout. Again some very impressive coastline. We ended up at Frenchman beach and played in the sand for a bit before heading back to the campground to play with Megan and Emma on the big jumping pillow.





We went out to the “Squid Shack”, a local recommendation and were not disappointed. It was very tasty fish, fresh off the boat. When we returned Emma and Megan were just finishing up their dinner, then the three of them played charades until bedtime.

Congratulations Aiden!
You look pretty cute with that missing tooth. Hope the tooth fairy left a worthy reward in exchange. We are pleased to learn that you didn't let Dad help it out of you and that you didn't fall out of that spike tree and knock it out! Ouch!!
Have fun!
Love & Hugs from,
Gramma & Pat
