Hiking & Fossil Hunting

The fun continues as I had a couple of great day trips this week!

On Monday my Gramps and Aunt Olivia and I went hiking at Fundy National Park!  We had a blast even when it poured rain at one point!
I only have a few pictures of this because my aunt used her SLR camera for most of the photo taking while Gramps and I used the video camera and underwater camera.
Wish I could share some of the video footage with you but can't unless I go through You Tube.
Maybe I'll post some of the pictures later when my aunt gets them loaded onto the computer.

I stayed the night at Gramps and Nanny's then my younger sister Lyvia joined us on Tuesday morning and the three of us set out on our second fossil hunting adventure.
It took a little effort to find a good place but we found some great fossils and had a lot of fun.

Then we went swimming at Grand Lake.




It was freezing but we just couldn't pass up the swimming and photo shoots with the underwater camera.

The water was a strange orange brown as you will see in the underwater photos of Lyvia and I.















We were going to go camping this weekend all the family including my Grandparents and aunt Olivia but hurricane Irene's coming for a visit and no one wanted to be in a tent for that!

  3. Your Fundy adventure sounded like so much fun. That's a pretty cool looking fossil you excavated Grace! Really neat. That darned Irene, maybe you can go on a fall family camp weekend.
    Love, Ree
