final days

Well we are back home. Safe and sound. A little more snow here than we would like but what do you do? Thanks to Ben for the ride to Rupert today. Sorry Liam puked on your bunk. I guess it was a little rough. We hitched a ride on Ben's tug. Took us about 3 hours to get from Oona to Rupert..a little rough leaving the harbour but other's wise a fine trip. Kinda wet and foggy though. Not worth taking any pictures. Now that we are home I got the camera working and have included a few photos from the past few days. Jana was busy in the sunshine stitching together some curtains for Eric's room. Also spending some quality time with her daughter in the most comfortable spot around. We had a big crab feast on the beach the last night. Sun was shinning and no wind. The kids collected all the crabs that they could, they also painted driftwood. Sydney mostly painted herself. The crab was delicious. There was a little concern that the crabs were "soft" Apperently crabs occassionally molt out of their shells. They grow a new shell with in the old shell. But the new shell is bigger and "soft" Meaning they haven't filled it all out with meat. So we did throw some big ones back. But still had lots to eat...mmmmm.

In case you are wondering we only caught one mouse on the final night and the squirrels live on. Looking forward to May Long weekend and some more fun...this time I am not bringing tools..just a fishing trip!!!
