During the first couple of weeks in June, we flew to Charlottetown so that Andrew could give a CMS (Canadian Mathematical Society) plenary talk at UPEI and to visit with the Toms' of Charlottetown. After the conference, we took in some beach time at the Island's national parks where the boys enjoyed catching and releasing local jellyfish providing loads of fun.
At a neighbouring park to Nana and Grandad Toms' Charlottetown condo, Edward enjoyed some good old tree climbing, with the setting sun's light shedding a lovely hue.
It was actually Valerie and Dave's 45th anniversary this past D Day. We were lucky the timing was just right so we could be there to celebrate with a family BBQ dinner at Ian and Jannah's home. This is all of us on their front steps.
We decided to take in the local sights by land and sea on the tourist vehicle called the Harbour Hippo which provided an animated announcer who informed us about all sorts of Charlottetown facts. It was somewhat choppy out there but the boys and girls were very brave (especially Julie), a great first for all of us, including Nana and Grandad and Andrew.
Saying goodbye at the airport. We're actually going to be seeing them again this summer due to a Toms family trip to Disney World at the end of July. See you all soon!
