Only Jonny,
Or So I Thought...

We often bring the kids upstairs to play in the bonus room when we have things to get done up there. Yesterday, Matt discovered the hard way that maybe that is too much freedom for Jonny. Especially when, unknown to Matt, he has the scissors from craft time in his pocket. As Matt moved around upstairs and started discovering hair on the floor, he knew it couldn't be good. It is unbelievable how short Jonny cut his own hair, a shave was the only option.
I guess cutting his own hair wasn't enough, he also gave Mya's ponytail a few good chomps. Hers is not as noticeable as his as there are various, smaller short patches. We aren't sure what to do with hers at this point, let it grow or cut it short.
The cutest part of this story, for me, was Ben, who told me that "Daddy was too hard on Jonny, he just wants to be a hairdresser".
I thought this was the craziest thing a kid has ever done, but after sharing my story with co-workers, friends and family, I was amazed at home many similar stories I heard.

Beach, Beach and More Beach

It was awesome to have the beach/ocean right behind us. The kids had so much digging, searching for treasure and even swimming a bit.
I have so many pictures from the beach but these are some ofmy favourites.

This picture is taken from the backyard of the house, you can see how close the beach is.

More of PEI!

We had 2 weeks in PEI which was great as it allowed for lots of days to relax and also lots of day to go do some touristy things!
Here are some of the places we visited.

I had to start with the COWS Factory as it was the place we went the most. The first time we took the tour and after that just came back for the ice cream. To go on the tour you have to wear the hat. Besides ice cream, they also make t-shirts. When Ben saw the guys making them he exclaime, "I've changed my mind, I want to work here!".

One of the most amazing things about PEI is the Confederation Trail which goes all over the island. The cottage we stayed at had 2 bikes, which Matt and I used on the trail together (I spent most of the time laughing as both the bikes were meant for someone 5'3 - 5'6, Matt looked hilarious). Matt and the boys rented bikes one day and had a great time pedaling along the ocean, they went over 10km! Jonny had the most fun, you can see why.

Lots of afternoons while Mya napped, Matt would take off with the boys and do some exploring. Their favourite thing to find were lighthouses and there are lots. The yucky weather didn't deter their fun at all.

On our last day in PEI we saw an open fire house. Jonny loves firemen, fire engines and anything to do with it. The fire chief was so nice, he took Jonny all through the fire house and even gave him this hat. He let Jonny pick any fire truck and sit in it. This is the first thing Jonny will tell you about our trip to PEI.
