Arriving in an Empty House

Last week, after leaving Terri and Dave we drove to Kentville, Nova Scotia.

Erin, who lived with us (and looked after the kids for 1.5 years - some 10 years ago) and her husband Caanan just moved to Kentville a few days ago and we are the first to visit them.

THEY are the reason to come to Nova Scotia in the first place.

We arrived in the evening in an empty house, and not even 24 hours later the moving company had arrived and the house was a home.

Caanan is a professional comic artist, he was so kind to give Matthew and Robin drawing lessons.





We bought Erin and Caanan a poffertjes pan as a wedding gift, as you see they have a natural talent for making pofertjes.


As you can see there's an excellent result.
We stayed almost a week, and had a wonderful time.

Evangéline is a statue of an Acadian woman, and Robin takes the same pose as she does.
In Grand Prés we discovered the history of Nova Scotia, especially the deportation of the Acadians around 1750, they're lives and what happened since.

The Bay of Fundy, in wich area we are, is known for it's Tidal bore. There are only few places in the world wich have tidal bores.
A Tidal bore phenomenon occurs when extreme Bay of Fundy tides flowes up river at high tide.
The family was at a camping at low tide, see how extreme it is.
