finally made it to sunset!

FINALLY!! we made it to sunset in Cavendish PEI. I didn't think we were gonna make it this year the weather hasn't been great for camping but it's like they say about snowblowers: you won't get enough snow to use it if you buy one same must be for campers lol! anyway, we saw the weather for Aug 18-21 to be awesome so me jetting outta town so fast! we had an awesome stay (as always) the campground hasn't changed a bit which I like. the showers are still free, the spots are still huge and the misquotes are still hungry, our first day we all looked as though we had chicken pox due to bug bites but we coped. the heated pool helped and the trolley trip to Cavendish beach was a hoot(which we ALL loved), the board walk was as busy as always (where else can you camp and within 5 mins from your site buy a fresh coffee, a huge ice cream, maybe a sundress, some weird novelty item that's marked up 500%, do your laundry and get a tattoo???) AHH Sunset you haven't disappointed us yet! please don't!as always you get a 10 out of 10...would have been an 11 but had to deduct 1 point for the darn mosquitoes!!!!

also near Kentville N.S.

we took the boys one day to a zoo about an half hour from the campground. it is called Oaklawn farm zoo. what a nice place! the animals were clean and looked happy (for zoo animals) it was nice to see more trees and less concrete. and Dexter just loved the $1 pony ride. there were barn cats roaming around and their Eagles weren't in a pen (they had wing damage and couldn't fly but still it was awesome) they also had an albino peacock-NEAT! I would definitely recommend this zoo to anyone. there's a large petting area, there are spots to feed the deer, ducks and other birds. We got to pet a llama! it was just laying out in one of the walking areas just chillin' For what it looked like on the outside ( no so nice not really big) and the traveling it took to get there (off an bumpy road that looked like it lead to no where) it was a complete surprise and blast! hope to go back there next year when we hit South Mountain campground again.

Kentville trip :-)

well I have to say our trip to Kentville N.S. was the best spot ever! Hubby wants to move there lol! we stayed at South mountain park family camping and RV resort. It was perfect! the weather was good 2 days hot sun (and sun burns) 3 days of light rain and rolling thunderstorms then 2 more days of hot sun. The campground had so much to do for the kids too bad Cleese wasn't older (15 months is a little young to enjoy most of the activities) but Dexter our 3 year old was in heaven. They had a jump blister, 2 pools (Olympic size and wading) a 100 foot slip and slide, "wagon rides" on a truck, 2 playgrounds, ducks to feed, arcade games (rainy days weren't so bad), not to mention a quick drive to town for those moments when you just really need to get a Tim Horton's coffee ;-) The overall of it I'd rate an 11 out of 10! we had such a great time. the camp ground was clean, quiet in the evenings, the facilities were very clean and well kept. there was a nice tree on every lot which were close together but still felt comfy. the mosquitoes were few and far between which was a blessing! and the last day of our trip was probably the best, the campers sell 50/50 tickets on Fridays and Saturdays and the money that gets raised goes to fund special events for the park. So the Saturday before we left (we check out on Sunday) they had a live band and free hot dogs for the whole campground for 3 hours. it was awesome! it was a super hot sunny day, the band let some local kids play in between sets (they were better then the band haha) and there was enough going on that Dex sat there at the community fire pit for 3 hours while the music was being played...talk about an easy Saturday afternoon.
this place was the best we're looking into a seasonal spot there for next year ;-)
