Cavendish Islander Days

This past week we celebrated Islander Days in Cavendish, and we had the pleasure of visiting some awesome venues!

We started our Journey at Wax World for the Stars!

Here is Corey with some artists that he plays on Ocean100. He tried to interview them...but they literally had 'no comment'.

But I got some love from the one and only Shrek!

Can you find the real celebrity in the picture below? It was the real highlight of the visit, seeing Ocean100's very on Corey Tremer as a wax head!

After Wax World we headed over to Ripley's Believe it or not.

I never thought that Corey was a short guy, but compared to the world's tallest man, he is tiny!

This lady behind me has the world's longest neck....oooo...I don't think I'd want to have that title!

We also visited Avonlea Village!

Here is Corey sitting in on a class in the vary school that LM Montgomery taught.


Oh look, it's Anne and Gilbert! Aren't they cute!

Okay, so it is only Corey and I...but we definitly had fun dressing up.

I had a tea party...

...and Corey was checking out the Outhouse!

We made it to Fan-ta-ma-goric museum, and then down to Gelato-Go-Round for Gelatos. Sorry we don't have a gelato picture...they were so good that they didn't last very long, but we definitly recommend that if you're in Stanley Bridge you go and visit Gelato-Go-Round. It was mmmm...good!

Our final stop was to the Sandbox for supper!

It was a busy day in Cavendish...but we had a blast!

Any Islander who hasn't played tourist for a day, really needs to head to cavendish and checkout the great attractions!

CUP - Family Day

Considering Corey and I are a family to two…we decided to borrow a couple of my sister’s kids and join in the fun at Family Day at the Credit Union Place in Summerside. And it was definitely a fun day!

The organizers did a wonderful job bringing in tons of fun and educational displays for kids and adults alike! The girls played on the bouncy blowups, got some temporary tattoos, made crowns and even got to dress up like princesses.

We also saw some of their favorite characters, like Elmo.

All it all it was a fun day for the girls, and for Uncle Corey and Auntie Autumn!

A Father Means...

A FATHER MEANS...
A Father means so many things...
A understanding heart,
A source of strength and of support
Right from the very start.
A constant readiness to help
In a kind and thoughtful way.
With encouragement and forgiveness
No matter what comes your way.
A special generosity and always affection, too
A Father means so many things
When he's a man like you...
~Author Unknown~ Happy Father’s Day!

Corey and I with our dads...

Sunday was Father’s Day and starting the day at the fishing hole with Papa Cec. It was a beautiful morning to cast a line, and wait for the fish to bite. We didn’t have much luck, Corey caught a little one (we through it back), and we had a couple bites…but we weren’t able to supply fish for lunch.

However, I don’t think my sister Amanda actually expected us to supply fish for supper, because her and her husband hosted an amazing BBQ lunch in Summerside. Here is Dad with his cake, and with little Dublin.

Then we headed to the Tremere’s to celebrate with Dad T., Corey’s father Winston. We enjoyed a lovely meal at a local Chinese food restaurant and then back to Mom and Dad T.’s place for desert and presents.

Thanks to both our Dads, you are very special men, and we love you both very very much! Hope you had a Happy Father’s day.

Sleepover party!

On Saturday night Corey and I had three of our nieces over for a sleepover party, Taylor who is 10, Ezabella who is 5 and Penelopy who is 3. And oh what fun we had!

We played outside and inside, Taylor showed us her musical talent on the piano, Ezabella sang, Penelopy dance, we watched movies, colored pictures, made a calendar and even went to visit the horses next door.

For supper we had a pizza party, where everyone made their own pizza…here are the awesome creations!

Our bunny rabbit Midnight fell in love with Taylor!

Each of the girls also painted their very own flower pots, and when they woke up on Sunday morning, they were filled with flowers.

For breakfast Taylor made us all “Fruit Sundae’s”, with bananas, apples, and fresh raspberry smoothy sauce she made in the magic bullet. Mmmmm….. it was tasty!

It was an awesome weekend! Thanks for coming to visit girls, and you can come back for a sleepover any time!

Hannah Montana Birthday Party

One the weekend we celebrated our niece Ezabella’s fifth birthday!
It was a Hannah Montana theme party, with music, dancing, playing in the hot tub, bubbles, a new swing set, games, and an awesome Hannah Montana Birthday Cake!

Everyone had tons of fun!

And little brother Dublin tried his first bit of cake...mmmm... I think he really liked it!

Gardening 101

Well, we bought our house last November, so when spring rolled around I had no idea of what would be in the flower beds. I have three very large flower beds, each hugging a wall of the house/deck. I noticed that we had one bed that was sprouting quite a few very nice perennial plants, and the other two beds were almost empty....but then something started to sprout.

It was a green and white ground cover, and it was eating up one entire bed… Now don’t get be wrong, I think a ground cover can be very nice in the right place. For example, if it is used to hide a foundation, or fill in around a tree bottom. But an entire bed with just this (ugly in my opinion) ground cover, was not pretty. I am assuming that the previous owner had the bed full of annuals, but I don’t want to replant every year….so I decided to completed dig out the two beds that I didn’t like, and create all perennial beds.

We bought 12 bags of top soil, 12 bags of sheep manure and 5 huge bags of peat moss (and I still have to buy at least one more). We haven’t added any mulch yet…but that will be our next step.

I want to say a huge thanks to my mom and dad who came out and gave Corey and I the Flowerbeds 101 class. We learned a lot, got really dirty, and had a wonderful 6 hours out in the flower beds.

I haven’t taken the ‘final product’ photos yet…but once I add the mulch, I show you all the final product.

Our Flowerbeds certainly aren't finished....but the birds are enjoying the yard just as it is.

This is one of the yellow finches we see outside our window everyday. We also have a few song sparrows, bluejays, robins and blackbirds.

May ends with a SPLASH!

Well, May ended with a splash...literally!
On May 31st we spent the morning at Tim Hortons, raising money for the Tim Horton children’s Foundation Camp Day.

A bunch of the Ocean gang came out to show their support and join in the fun. Corey and Kirk both took their turn in the dunk tank. And really, know matter how many times they got dunked, it just got funnier and funnier every time! If you missed the fun, you can check out the dunk tank videos on Ocean 100 O-Tube

Later that day we traveled to Jayne and Jordan's house to celebrate our niece Trystan’s third birthday!

She had lots of fun opening presents and she really liked her flower cake!

Thanks for the fun afternoon Jayne and Jordan!
