Swans and Starfish.

We finally went out to Cape Spear.

this is all we saw.

So we didnt stay long. Long enough for Madison and I to go for a quick walk along the water. Which was beautiful. Still havent seen a whale :(

Instead of staying at the Cape, we went to Bowring park. Which is Beautiful!!

There is only a few swans. 4 perhaps.

This is one of the guys who work with Steve. His name also happens to be Steve.

Cammi and Daddy feeding the ducks and Swan.

Landon Loved chasing the ducks and the birds. Mostly the birds.

It was really funny to see the seagulls swiming with the ducks. We were trying to aim for ducks only. This seagull snuck right in there.

This is a statue of Peter Pan. It has fairies and animals all around it. Its really nice to take time to look at. Great piece of art.

 She found a snail!

Trying to find the playground. Also discovered quite a few big open areas perfect for running around, a outdoor swimming pool, a splash park, and another small duck pond.

We bumped into a friend of our who happened to have been fishing and let Madison have a try.

She caught a fish the first try... but it let go before she could reel it all the way in.We have borrowed the rods and are going to try again.

There is a island just west of St. John's called Bell island. Thought it would be fun to check out.

Our Friends Juliet and Victoria let us come in their van (THANK YOU!!) for the trip. David, Lisa and Joshua went also. You take a ferry for 20 mins to get there we had to wait a bit we werent sure if we would get on because there was quite a few people infront of us.  While we waited Joshua and Cammeron got to throw starfish back into the water. No fear. They loved it!

Thankfully we made it. I forgot my phone in the van so no pics for the ride over.

Once there I fell in love with it. Bell island (mind you we only saw this beach) is gorgeous! Perfect place for a summer home ;) We went on a perfect day. Warm but not hot!

More rocks than you could ever dream of throwing in the water! A childs dream. Throwing rocks to their hearts content.

I was really hoping to see more starfish, as i have been waiting to see one since i got here (along with a moose and crabs) There was lots of them You just had to have a good eye and you could spot them.

He didnt mind holding it, he just wanted to get back to throwing rocks...

She wouldnt touch it with her bare hands (surprise, surprise)

And with Cammi, you just had to make sure she didn't squish them!

Then Lisa came across a big one!!!

Dave put it on Joshuas head, Lucky kid!

I was excited to hold it. It was a lot more stiff then i thought it would be.

I have loved all the snails. They are kind of cute and fun to find. This has been my favorite shaped one so far. Unfourtunatly it wouldnt come out of its shell.

Landon Loves Animals.

Loves them. He cries if he cant go see a dog that walks by, or pet the cat that lives next door. He will walk up to any animal and talk to it with no hesitation. About a year ago being around an animal made him stutter. nnnnnice ddddogg. Hes come a long way.

 Lisa in the ocean. And when trying to get out of said ocean almost fell. Which made for a cool picture!!

 Getting ready to go eat and then head home. We spent all day playing on the beach and i would do it every day if i could.

 On the ferry on the way home. Made sure I had my phone this time. Miss. Madison. Future Supermodel. She makes me laugh!

 My wonderful Kids.

Smiling faces!

 I love Madisons smile in this one.

The kids and I.

Yes, this is the best one & Yes, Landon is making that face in ALL of them. Brat.

I never get enough picture of myself. Here was an attempt!

Cammeron and Joshua (Wawa as Cammi calls him) have a good time together however, that time is also filled with many appoligies and hugs. Cammi a typical girl held on longer than he cared and shoved her off seconds after this picture! Hahahaha.

 We had a wonderful time and will be back there soon for sure. Next time we will bring Stephen with us. His work is going really well. He is very busy but good at what he is doing. In my opinion, a dedicated and hardworking head tech. We miss seeing him at home but we are glad he is working hard.

These are 2 of my favorite Pictues from Bell Island:
