Summer Adventure Sunday

I did get out of the house on Sunday! After a hearty breakfast at Maggies, we headed toward Cavendish to spend the day. Of course I brought my camera to capture some of the moments :)
Chris and the Moose. He was very friendly with the Moose - and do you know how hard it is to actually get him to SMILE in a photo??? Yet, put him with stuffed, life-size, wildlife and he's all smiles. Go figure. This was taken in front of Bayberry Lane in Cavendish on the Boardwalk where we sat and enjoyed a slushie.
We also went to Sandspit - and on the Cyclone. Nevermind the fact that we were the only two 'adults' that were waiting in line to go on it. Nevermind that I screamed like a 'young girl' as we raced around the turns. Nevermind that the two of us had a whole cart to ourselves, one in the front, and one in the back, for fear of not 'fitting' together in just one seat. It was still fun :). We took a video of it - I will try to post it eventually.
At Sandspit, as part of the Seashore Festival, 5 of Canada's premiere sand sculptors demonstrated their craft. It's the same idea as what is put on down at the waterfront at Sandland. The detail is absolutely amazing... they used a few different types/colors of sand to create the intricacies of the sand carvings. You should definitely try to check it out before the sculptures end up breaking down.
This is a close up of the Merman & his lover. Look at how they used the grey sand for his hair & beard.
And this would be Anne ~ had to post this for you, Lana :) .... she appears to have drowned in the waters beneath the dolphins :)
Full shot of the dolphins - again, note their use of the two different colors/types of sand.
Pirate, complete with parrot, gold coins, and bottles 'o rum!
Close up of the PEI logo on the main sculpture welcoming you to the event.Sand castle sculpture by Peter Vogelaar, a prime sculptor who has been here every year for the Jack Frost Festival, and Sandland. His work is amazing.
All in all, I had a great Sunday :). After leaving Cavendish we drove to Emerald (we have to map out our path to the Emerald Summerfest party with Matt Andersen at the end of the month!). By the time we stopped for a few groceries, it was 8:00pm when we landed home. We watched Big Brother, each geeked a bit on our lappies, and then bed. If only we had one more day (don't I say the same thing at the end of EVERY weekend?) ... I hope you all enjoyed a great, sunny weekend as well.

P.S. BB was just fair - as is all of the first episodes from previous seasons. There's the standard gay guy, the standard older guy (but 75 years old?! wowsers), the standard annoying girl, and the standard boobie-girl. It should be an interesting season.....stay tuned for more in-depth recounts :).
