Massive Tides in Fundy Bay, New Brunswick

We got off the barge in Portland, Maine without incident and after stopping for a propane fill, drove to Freeport to visit the LL Bean flagship store. After a great time browsing, we left quite a bit poorer and drove to stay the night (Friday August 7th) with Peem, John’s niece and Laura’s sister. Peem was recovering from knee surgery so hadn’t been able to come to the family gathering on the island. We were happy to see her and spend time catching up. Very sadly we received the news Al, her dad passed away that afternoon. John shared some great stories of Al and John’s sister Caroline from when they first met. They both created a loving family of four children, eight grandchildren and one great grandchild, what an amazing legacy!  

Saturday August 8th, we drove to Bass Harbor, on the Acadia peninsula for two nights. We enjoyed a late afternoon walk to Bass Harbor lighthouse and waited until past sunset to get photos of the lighthouse. It was a magical walk in the dark back to the campground listening to the crickets.  

We were ready to head to Canada! After an overnight stop half-way we arrived in Calais, Maine the afternoon of Tuesday August 11th. Right on the Canadian border it was perfect to pick up an antibiotic for John due to a suspected tick bite. Thanks Dr Deb for calling in the prescription as a Lyme disease precaution! 

Our first stop was New River Beach Provincial Park in New Brunswick. It was a wonderful massive sandy beach and a sunny afternoon, so we headed to the beach so Sara could swim. To celebrate our first night in Canada we had fish and chips at the Gull and Herring right next to the beach. What a great first day!

We were slowly driving along the Bay of Fundy, an area known for rugged coastlines, massive tides and the Acadian Forest, a highly diverse, critically endangered mixed-wood ecosystem in Canada's Maritime provinces. At most of our campgrounds we saw northern conifers like red spruce blending with southern hardwoods like sugar maple and yellow birch. We planned to spend four days working our way up the coastline, ending at Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park to see the massive rocks which can be explored at low tide. 

Since we follow the “no plan plan” and only book sites a few days ahead, we have to take what is available. Most of the time it works out great, and our next stop was one of those gems. We were staying in a new Fundy National Park campground called Lakeview. It was small, the sites were large and private, and Wolfe Lake was stunning. Sara enjoyed an afternoon swim and paddle board and we both enjoyed views of the lake and the amazing reflections in the water. 

Thursday August 13th we woke to another beautiful day and Sara paddle boarded round the lake, which was smooth as glass early in the morning. The cats enjoyed exploring the trees and grasses around the campground and we finally left for our next stop early afternoon. Most campgrounds have a checkout of 11am which we are really bad about missing, thankfully so far we haven’t been scolded!  

We explored a little on the way to the next campground, only 25 miles away, and deeply regretted taking a narrow twisty road. It’s hard to drive the van on these roads and Zeke and Flash have a tendency to get car sick if there is too much bouncing around.

Friday was our day to visit Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park where you can see massive rocks in the ocean at high tide and also walk around them on the ocean floor at low tide. That day high tide was around 2pm and low tide around 8pm. We arrived in the afternoon and took a golf cart to the viewing area; best use of $4 per person ever vs the 45 minute walk each way carrying cameras! The Bay of Fundy has one of the highest tides in the world, with 160 billion tons of water moving in and out of the bay every 25 hours. This is about one year and nine months of water from Niagara Falls! The tide changes by about 46 feet vertically and two football fields horizontally and due to the massive drop the ocean floor is exposed at low tide. 

After exploring the views at high tide we returned to the RV for the rainy afternoon. Luckily by 6pm the rain stopped and we could return to the viewing area and walk down to explore the ocean floor! It was a lovely evening, and we enjoyed walking around the base of the rocks and the views from the ocean floor. The park guides were very friendly and informative, and we learned the high tides are caused by the shape of the bay, which is deep and wide at one end and narrow and shallow at the other end. It was a memorable day and we were glad we had seen both high and low tides.

Our campsite that night was at a horse ranch which had a small campground and excellent facilities. Sara found this location via iOverlander, a site that is very useful for finding free boondocking locations and more unusual camping sites. It was a wonderful location, close to Hopewell rocks, peaceful and even better had horses! In the morning Sara walked to the stables area and was early enough to see the 20+ horses being brought in from the field. She enjoyed chatting to the owner, whose family had owned the ranch since the 1950’s and eventually turned it into a riding and lodging facility. It all started because one of the son’s had polio and started riding as therapy to recover. 

It was a wonderful end to our time in New Brunswick. Time to move to Nova Scotia and connect with John’s eldest son John who was visiting a friend.

Magical Chebeague Island

We arrived on Chebeague Island on Wednesday July 29th for a magical week exploring the island and hanging with family. Chebeague Island is the largest island in Casco Bay, Maine. About a 15-minute ferry ride from Yarmouth, Maine, or an hour from Portland, Maine, the island is about 5 miles long by 1.5 miles wide, forested in the middle and with sandy beaches and rocky coves. It has around 360 year-round residents, and a summer population of about 2,000 people.   

John’s niece Laura and her husband Geoff live on the island year-round. John’s other niece Tina and her husband (John Jorden) spend the summer on the island with their daughters Catarina, Lucia and Ana who were enjoying a break from college/school. Their sons John and David are working and visit when they can, along with many other family members who pop in to join the fun. This year our great-niece’s Julianna Stanford and Cici Stanford were staying with Tina for a few months. 

In the 19th-century "stone sloopers” were sailors and shipwrights who used custom built sailing ships to move massive granite blocks quarried in the Maine area down the coast for major US landmarks like the Washington Monument. The "Sloopers" built what are now historic homes on Chebeague island and John Jorden’s parents had one of these homes where he spent his summers. Tina and John now use this house during the summer, and it has a large barn attached to the house where everyone meets in the evenings for dinner. 

We setup at Laura & Geoff’s house which was perfect, a outside patio, fire pit, plenty of shade and a delightful outside shower. The cats loved the area, very quiet and lots of areas to explore. We settled into what became a pattern for the week. Exploring during the day, followed by a wonderful family dinner prepared by Tina every night. We spent the next five days cycling round the island, swimming and relaxing. We have always heard Tina talk about the island being a summer paradise and it was wonderful to really experience it ourselves. 

Sunday August 2nd was a big party day to celebrate both Laura’s birthday and her daughter Caroline’s birthday. Laura’s son John and Caroline and niece Caroline Fernandes came over from the mainland for the celebration. We spent a delightful afternoon in the barn eating great food & birthday cake and chatting with everyone. John Jorden’s mother Shelia lives on the island full time, and we really enjoyed getting to know her. Connie who is Tina's aunt was visiting for a few days with her granddaughter Riley, so it was quite the family gathering.

Laura and Geoff had to leave on Tuesday to travel to Madeira island, Portugal as Laura's father was very sadly close to passing. We drove them to the ferry and sadly waved goodbye after a wonderful week together. 

We really made the most of our last two days before our barge pickup on Friday August 7th. Both days we got up early and Sara went paddle boarding. First up was Hamilton beach a lovely sandy beach cove close to Tina's house. There were many terns diving for fish and it was delightful to sit on the board and listen to their calls as they flew around before diving into the water. That evening we were treated to a magnificent lobster dinner at Tina's. John Jorden and his son (John) are both lobster fisherman, and the lobsters were caught and delivered by son John that morning!

Thursday was all about the sea. We started with a paddle board from the boat yard, driving there with the board sticking out the back of Laura's "island car". Sara paddled out to Crow island and explored the pools visible as the tide went out. That afternoon son John treated us to a personal tour in his lobster boat. We went out to where John Jorden was working pulling lobster traps. We saw the whole process of hauling the lobster traps, removing the lobsters, throwing back the small ones and then re-baiting the trap and putting them back in the sea. Not an easy profession!  We met John's girlfriend Whitney who had been out the day before as the stern person helping her grandfather pull traps. Maine folks are very tough! We finished off with lunch at Erica's Seafood a fabulous classic waterfront seafood shack located just across the water in Harpswell, Maine. What an amazing day!

Friday was departure day, and we drove to Bennett's cove for our 7:30am barge pickup. Tina, Lucia and Julianna came to wave us off and it was quite tearful to leave after such a wonderful visit. We were nervous again because the beach looked pretty rutted, but Brian got us loaded no trouble and we were back off to the mainland.

New York State Biking and Barging to Chebeague Island

We sadly said goodbye to Robin and Vinnie on July 23rd and thanks to them left beautiful Pennsylvania with a fully functioning RV! We had originally planned to drive to Niagara Falls, but cancelled due to the RV issues; we will visit in the future. We now had a few extra days and could take our time heading through New York state. We still had over 700 miles to drive before arriving in Portland, Maine for our barge reservation to Chebeague Island. 

We drove north to Chenango Valley State Park, New York for the night and then stopped at Stysh's Brown Barn campground, Boonville which is 70 miles north east of Syracuse. The campground used to be a diary farm, and is now a large campground mostly for seasonal renters and ... a large brown barn rented for events. The area is very rural and peaceful and we had a great site in the trees which the cats loved. The next morning (Saturday July 25th) Sara took all three cats for a walk. Zeke and Rocket spontaneously started to run up the steep wooded hill, with Rocket shooting up a tree and then jumping across to another tree. We certainly named him correctly! Flash decided to also join us, all three exploring up the hill with their leashes trailing, and waiting for Sara to untangle them. We spent an hour exploring, except for Zeke who found a log to sit on and watch out for unsuspecting prey!

That afternoon we rode up the road 1/2 mile to the Black River Feeder Canal path. The canal was completed in 1855, connecting to the Erie Canal and still holds the world record of 109 locks. It was a peaceful ride through the woods and fields, with some scary obstacles and surfaces at the many rural road crossings. We were relieved to return to the campground unscathed!

We had a lovely drive to Meadowbrook campground outside Lake Placid. We were now fully in the Adirondack mountains of New York, and it was a beautiful drive past lakes and through small towns. We loved the campground which was grassy and surrounded by trees. Even better there was direct access to the Adirondack trail, the reason for our stop. We went for a quick ride that evening and rode to Lake Placid. The trail was amazing, past lakes surrounded by trees on a wide crushed stone surface. It was definitely our favorite so far. 

The next day (Monday July 27th) we rode the trail in the opposite direction, past Saranac lake and almost to Lake Clear. It was stunning scenery, past lakes covered with lilies and over bridges all while listening to the many birds in the trees and on the water. We ended the day with bar-b-que and shrimp at the restaurant right next to the campground. What a great day!

The next day we left early for a long hard drive to Portland Maine. The first 120 miles to Bethel, Vermont took over three hours on steep windy roads, including a road closure and subsequent diversion. Between the rain and tense moments we did enjoy the beauty of Vermont and plan to explore more on the way back. We stopped in Bethel for a fuse to replace the one that was preventing our solar from charging the batteries; and then got on the interstate for the next 180 miles to Portland, Maine.

Wednesday July 29th was barge transfer day to Chebeague Island. We arrived at the east end boat ramp early as our ability to get on and off the barge was dependent on high tide. We were nervous because our RV doesn't have great ground clearance and we didn't want to get stuck or rip something off the undercarriage. We were using Lionel Plante, a local company who specialize in moving large vehicles between the mainland and the islands. Our boat captain Amery and his loading assistant Brian did a great job getting us on the barge without any issues. There was a comment of 'hope we can get you off ok on the beach at Chebeague", which we thought was a joke. Turns out we were actually driving off the barge and onto the beach at a small cove! Everything went great and Laura (John's sister's daughter) and Tina (John's brother's daughter) were there to greet us. It was the start of a magical week with family and enjoying island life which will be the next update!

Summer 2026 - Maine and the Canadian Atlantic Provinces

For our summer trip this year we are adventuring east for a change. Our first big stop is Chebeague Island just off the coast of Portland, Maine to stay with our nieces and their families. Our plan is to take two weeks to drive the 2,400 miles from Texas to Maine, stopping along the way visit friends and ride our bikes on famous hall of fame rails to trails rides. After a week in Maine we will explore the Canadian Atlantic Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland for a couple of months. We are ending the trip in mid October in Charleston, South Caroline at John's Citadel college reunion. Should be a fun trip exploring a totally new area for us both and what is now three black cats! We adopted Rocket from our RV Tech in Houston and he did well on our short Texas trip in April.  

We left on Monday July 13th and after a quick overnight in Oklahoma arrived in Boonville, Missouri. Our first ride was the Katy trail and we started early due to the heat. It was a very  enjoyable riding under shady trees, thorough a tunnel and alongside rocky cliffs and the Missouri River. We were having a lovely time until John got a flat tire about 7 miles from where we had parked the RV. We changed the tire but had a failure with the both our portable CO2 inflaters. We were standing there in the sticky heat being attacked by bugs when a guy from Austin stopped to assist and pulled out a tiny electrical pump - definitely getting one of those!  Feeling more optimistic we started  back and John got another flat tire! Out of options we started walking, until some more folks stopped and shared a manual pump to inflate enough for us to complete the remaining 2 miles. Turns out John had a tiny thorn in his tire that caused both flats. We were glad to get back to the campground, get a cold shower and relax after the 27 miles. 

We had realized on our first night we had a water pump issue which we thought was just air in the system. After some troubleshooting we determined we had a small leak in the water pump itself which needed fixing. We also had an inverter that wouldn't turn on unless we had electrical service at the camp site. Needless to say when we left Missouri on Thursday July 16th we were rather stressed!  We stopped in Columbia for extra bike tubes (can’t find our backup spares) and plumber putty to try and fix the water pump leak. It was long drive mostly on Interstate 70 to Indiana before we arrived at Summit Lake state park. 

The next morning we drove 10 miles to a trailhead and had great bike ride on the Cardinal Greenway trail. The trail was wonderfully paved, so no thorns, and very shaded by trees curving over the trail, so cool temperatures. We really enjoyed seeing the rolling farmland and fields of never ending corn and soybeans. The cats enjoyed exploring the trees and nature area before we all got hot and headed back to the campground for some air conditioning. 

We left Indiana Saturday July 18th and spent a delightful evening in Cincinnati with Sara's friends Ronny and Mike. They are great hosts and it was wonderful to spend time with them. We had shipped the fancy miniature electric bike pump and a new water pump to their house, so if our application of JB Water Weld didn't fix the leaking issue we could install a new pump.

After a relaxing morning with Ronny & Mike we set out for our next stop, driving through Ohio and briefly West Virginia before arriving in Confluence, Pennsylvania about 80 miles south east of Pittsburg. It was a really pretty area, very green with rolling hills and lots of trees. We had a great evening ride and were all relaxed until we got back to the RV and found we have an electric issue when connected to the campground power, and the water pump fix didn't work! The electrical issue was getting dire as no power from either batteries or when plugged in was a showstopper.

The next morning the core of engineers repair guy determined our 30amp campground pedestal was worn out, so yeah not our RV! We had a wonderful ride on the Great Allegheny passage trail, a crushed limestone surface, flat and shady running alongside the river with trees full of singing birds. The temperatures were much cooler and the cats enjoyed getting out of the RV to explore. We spent the afternoon calling some RV techs, using ChatGPT for troubleshooting and the multimeter to confirm voltages. We think the inverter issue might be corrosion on a post and a blown high current fuse. Hopefully we can fix these issues at our next location. We decided to skip the two days in Niagara Falls, in case we needed to stop in Philadelphia at an RV service center. 

Our next step was with Sara's friend Robin and her husband Vinnie who live about 50 miles north of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Sara worked with Robin in England when Robin was living there for a few years. They had lost touch for a while and it had been 30 years since they last saw each other. We had a wonderful time catching up, and enjoying the peaceful town where they live. We had no idea Pennsylvania was so pretty, full of rural communities, lakes, rivers and forests. Definitely worth a more detailed exploration in the future. 

We had planned to explore the area the next day (July 22nd), but really needed to work on the RV issues. Turns out Vinnie used to work for Thor RV building RV's, and was an expert at fixing problems so he and John spent the day working while Robin and Sara caught up on 30 years of life! The inverter issue was related to a corroded post and blown fuse, and after a lot of effort the connection was moved to a new post and voila the issue was fixed!  After installing the new water pump we ended the day with local ice cream - the trip was back on!

Truth or Consequences, Hatch Chilis and White Sands

We left Bosque del Apache midafternoon after a final drive to look at the sand hill cranes who were now in the fields eating. We will definitely be back! We then drove about an hour south to Truth or Consequences, a laid-ack town known for it numerous hot springs. The original name of the town was Hot Springs, NM. Ralph Edwards, who had the well-known radio show Truth or Consequences from the 1940s said he would host the 10th anniversary show in the first town to change their name to Truth or Consequences. The town got together and voted to change their name and the anniversary show was hosted in town. Every year there is a festival to commemorate the name change.

We enjoyed the GlampCamp with its own outdoor soaking tubs which could be filled any time you wanted. Downtown T or C is on top of a fault system providing access to naturally heated mineral water. There are numerous public bath houses, and privates homes can apply to be connected to the mineral water.

Wednesday November 19th, we soaked at River Bend mineral springs which is a beautiful bathhouse on the Rio Grande. We really enjoyed the views across the river and the peaceful environment. We were also lucky to get there and back to the RV between the many rain showers of the day!

By Thursday we were well warmed up and relaxed and we headed to our next location. We stopped for lunch in Hatch, NM, known as the Chile capital of the world. You can get a huge variety of dishes with red or green chilis. You can also order Christmas which means both red and green chilis. They are quite delicious, and we enjoyed a tasty meal at Pepe's Cocina.

Our last place to visit was White Sands NP.  We arrived in the afternoon and found a quiet spot to park and take the cats out for a walk. We were surprised to find they hated the place! We tried picking them up and taking them to different locations, but no luck. Flash managed to slip his harness and ran back the RV as quick as his paws could take him. Zeke flatly refused to move. We finally figured out they felt vulnerable because of the wide-open area with no bushes or trees for cover. We however, had a great time sledding on the dunes! It was a spectacular sunset, and we stopped numerous times for John to take photos before finally driving to Oliver Lee State Park for the night.

The next day we had a leisurely morning, enjoying the warming sun and views from the campsite of the dramatic Sacramento mountains and the Chihuahuan desert. The cats much preferred this location and recovered from the trauma of the previous day by exploring the many paths between all the campsites. We were pleased the cats had quickly settled back into traveling. When starting the trip, Flash would still burrow under the duvet, between the towel we folded up to try and contain the ever-present cat hair. Zeke spent most of his time up front on the floor between the driver and passenger seat. Surprisingly by the end of this trip Flash took over the coveted front spot a lot and poor Zeke had to squeeze into a smaller space - They generally don't sit that close to each other, so it is quite unusual to see them that close.

We spent Friday November 21st in Ruidoso and Saturday afternoon decided to head for home instead of staying the planned extra night. After a terrifying few hours of night driving on a narrow two-lane highway we stopped at the city park in Tatum, NM. Normally night driving is fairly easy, but it was a busy Friday night and no one seemed to want to dim their lights! We were home and unloaded by Sunday evening before the rain storms the following day. It was an excellent trip, and we found many areas we want to explore again. Now it's time to winterize and make some improvements so we are ready for next year's adventure!

New Mexico Hot Springs, Stars and Birds

We decided to take a final trip before the end of the year, and on Wednesday November 12th headed out for a two week exploration of New Mexico. We spent the first night at the city park in San Jon, a tiny town just inside New Mexico. We love these small city parks when traveling, they are often free, sometimes have power and water and are quieter than an interstate rest area. 

We arrived Thursday afternoon at our favorite mineral hot springs spa - Ojo Caliente which is just an hour north of Santa Fe. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening soak in the many mineral pools. We have previously only visited Ojo in July, and it was a lovely to experience the hot waters when it was chilly weather. We really liked the RV park at the spa, nestled in the trees and just a short walk away from the main property. The weather was warm during the day and yellow leaves were still fluttering on the trees. 

Friday was a perfect day! Sara hiked above the spa to explore the high desert area and we soaked in the pools after lunch. We had an early dinner at the restaurant and John enjoyed the excellent buffalo short ribs he had been talking about for months. We had a magical evening soaking in the pools which we often had to ourselves. After several hours soaking and gazing at the stars we walked slowly and contently back to the RV.

The next day after a delightful breakfast we sadly said goodbye to Ojo and headed south. We took the Turquoise Trail south of Santa Fe through the tiny town of Madrid (scene of the Wild Hogs movie) before rejoining the interstate. It was a beautiful sunny Sunday and we enjoyed the drive, stopping for the night about an hour south of Albuquerque at a small farm RV park. The owners, Albin and Deb were the nicest people and Deb who also runs a baking business gave us two plates of cup cakes which we enjoyed for the next few days! 

Sunday November 16th we changed our plans a bit and headed west to Cosmic Campground. We had intended to go to Bosque Del Apache wildlife refuge first, but there was some rainy weather coming and we needed a clear night at Cosmic campground for night photography. We drove across a very disserted highway 60, passing the National Radio Astronomy - Very Large Array - an area in the desert with 27 massive telescopes used to monitor a wide range of celestial objects like galaxies, black holes, and pulsars. 

We stopped for lunch in Pie Town, following a tip from one of John's army buddies. The tiny town of less than 200 inhabitants is on the Continental Divide trail and has two restaurants providing great food. We stopped in both restaurants, one for lunch and berry pie, and the second to get food for later. The chicken pot pie and green chili quiche were both excellent the next day!

We continued west on what was now a wet rainy day, enjoying the increasingly mountainous scenery of the Gila National Forest, finally arriving late afternoon. Cosmic Campground is the first International Dark Sky Sanctuary in the northern hemisphere and provides exceptional opportunities for star gazing. John has wanted to check it out for ages and although we arrived in the rain the skies cleared and he was able to do some night photography late into the night. It was wonderful looking up at the skies while listening to the coyotes singing around us. The campground was particularly popular with the cats since it was so remote and quiet.

Monday, November 17th we returned east, enjoying the scenery and a surprisingly large number of trees with yellow fall colors. We arrived at Bosque Del Apache late afternoon and explored the gravel roads around the refuge before settling at a location called the Flight Deck for sunset. Bosque is about 85 miles south of Albuquerque and the wildlife refuge is well known for the tens of thousands of sand hill cranes, geese, and ducks who winter there each year. John has visited several times and it has been on Sara's wish list for many years. It was an excellent end to the day, with a great sunset and the sights and sounds of the sandhill cranes, geese and ducks flying in to settle overnight on the water for protection from predators.

It was another chilly night, but we were warm in the RV. John had made insulated covers for all the windows, and once we put them up each night and turned on the small oil heater we were very comfortable. We got up at 5am on Tuesday and drove to Bosque for the main event - the sunrise flight of the birds who leave together to search for food in the nearby fields. 

It was an amazing sunrise and an incredible sight to see the geese leaving in a massive group. Right after the geese flew off the sand hill cranes started to leave in smaller groups, along with other groups of ducks and black birds. We spent hours at the Flight Deck, before finally driving to a different location for a large cooked breakfast and a warmup in the sun. It was a magical morning.

Grand Tetons & Dazzling Fall Colors

After spending two days in Yellowstone we drove 50 miles south to Grand Teton national Park, definitely one of our favorite areas. We had managed to get into the Colter Bay campground which is at the far north of the park. It has always been full on our previous trips, and it was great to have access to a part of the park we don't normally explore. We arrived early evening and on an impulse enjoyed a great meal at the local ranch house. After cooking in the RV for weeks it was nice to have someone else prepare a meal. Tuesday (September 16th) was a chilly morning, but it warmed up quickly and we enjoyed a lovely sunny day driving through the park with some great views of the stunning Teton Mountain range. We stopped for the night at the Gros Ventre campground which we have stayed in before and enjoyed relaxing in the afternoon sun - very pleasant after several cold days. 

Wednesday September 17th, we got up early in hopes of seeing moose who apparently hang around the campground in the mornings. No luck this time, but it was a pretty morning. We had a long day of driving through Wyoming into northern Utah, staying again at Lodgepine campground in Flaming Gorge, Utah. We had stopped there in July and it was a good halfway point between the Tetons and Colorado. We also remembered some stunning fall colors from a previous trip. We had a great evening with the whole campground ourselves. This is the cats favorite location since it is right on the side of the forest, and even better when there aren’t other campers! The trees were starting to change color, but it was still a bit early for the views we saw a few years ago.

We finished the trip how we started, staying with great friends in Colorado. The fall colors were peaking and John finally got the photos he had been hoping to capture.

We finally arrived home Wednesday 24th September having spent 86 days traveling 7,400 miles. We had an incredible time and it is hard to pick our favorite locations. We are already planning next year's summer trip to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, with many stops along the way. We have some upgrades to make to the RV, and we leaned a lot on our first big trip so the next one will be easier. Our big unknown had been how the cats would adjust, and it was great to find they are adventurers too!  

For now we are all enjoying being home for the cooler weather and enjoying more space and unlimited water!
