MS Walk

Yesterday Corey and I had the pleasure of taking part in the Super City Walk for MS in Charlottetown.

The Charlottetown walk alone raised over $38,000. Other walks took place all across the Maritime provinces.

Corey MC’d the event, and I took part in the 5km walk.

It was a wonderful afternoon.

This is an annual event, and we incourage everyone who can to take-part in it next year!

Monster Trucks

Corey and I actually went to see the Monster Truck at the Summerside Wellness Centre last week.

I really didn't know what to expect, but watching the trucks fly through the air was pretty cool. Sorry, my pics really don't do it justice.

Then the transformer came out... a truck transformed into a firebreathing, car eating, dragon. And it actually ate a car.

If you ever go, make sure you have ear plugs. It was so loud!!!

Ottawa Adventures

The first week of May, Corey and I enjoyed a wonderful week in Ottawa. Corey attended the national Credit Union Conference during the days, and I got to adventure around Ottawa. Here are a few pics from our trip...

The International Tulip festival was in Ottawa the week we were there. With millions of tulips, the city was beautiful. Below is a picture of the Netherlands display at the International Pavilion. They had displays from dozens of countries around the world.

There were beautifully painted 4 foot tulips surrounding the festival grounds in downtown Ottawa.

Corey and I also 'met' the mascots for the China Olympics...

One evening we visited the Civilization Museum. If you haven't been, you really need to explore this amazing museum. It is a place we like to visit every time we're in Ottawa.

We thought this might have been a display highlighting hairdos like Corey's...lol

Another evening we went for a long walk along the Canal...


And ended up at the second location of the tulip festival... with beds and beds of tulips.

Final, we couldn't leave Ottawa without going to the aviation museum. If you dont' know, Corey loves everything about aviation...He is even, very very slowly, taking classes for his private piolet license.

And what's a trip to Ottawa without a stop at Parliment Hall.

We actually has the unique opportunity of sitting in on Question Period! What a neat experience.

Big Can Kick-off

Okay, for anyone who is not an Islander, you may find this funny....but today is the first day that canned or plastic bottled beverages were legal on PEI! So the radio station, Oceann 100, and Pepsi decided to throw a big street party to celebrate!

It was a ton of fun.

Here is Corey and I with our first legal can of pop on PEI!

As part of the festival, they had the radio guys dress up as FBI/Men-in-black - security guards, to escort the cans to the main stage.

It was hilarious!!!

Then the Minister of Environment official cracked open the first can!

This is the can pop tower! Guess the number of cans in the tower and you could win some awesome prizes.

The 'security' guys then handed out free pepsi to everyone in the crowd, and at 2:00 everyone cracked open their cans at the same time!

What a fun day! There was lots of great music, good food, and tons of Pepsi!

Thanks Ocean!

April Showers will bring May flowers!

Well, April was a very full month!
I spent most of the month on the road for work, and filling the weekends with fun!
My parents celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary in April.

We also had the joy of celebrating Dad's 54th birthday. Dad's birthday always falls on the first day of fishing season, so we always start the day at the fishing hole.

Corey was the most successful fisherman, catching 4 fish.

Our friends Glenn and Myron also joined in the fun, along with a few of my relatives.

Also in April we celebrated with our neice Taylor, her 10th birthday.

This picture is of Taylor after her birthday, trying out her new Hannah Montana bedspread.

My big brother Aaron also celebrated his birthday on April 24th. So I wanna shout out a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Aaron. He and his family live in Kenya, so I don't have any pics of the birthday boy this year. Love you Bro!

And just this past weekend, we decided to take Corey fishing for smelts. For anyone who hasn't smelt fished before, smelts come in every spring to the Island streams for only a week or so. The smelts swim in swarms, so you just have to stick a net in the stream and you pull out tons of smelts.

Here is what we caught in only a few minutes at the stream...

All in all, April was a fun filled month!

Stay tuned for a May update, as Corey and I will be traveling back to Ottawa on a short vacation!

Love you all, and take care!
