Day 6: Christmas Came Early!

Today started out the same as usual, we ate breakfast then went to Cook's Lake to check our traps. This time when we were done checking them we brought them in since on Monday we will be moving to two new areas. In our trap we sought a mouse and recaptured a VERY old vole. They generally live a couple months at most and this one is almost two years old. We also had to take down all our orange tape that marked our path. Then we had lunch and loaded up the van. When we arrived at the Christmas tree farm there were two Belgian horses waiting for us. And, I will admit, they were quite huge. We got on to a cart that they pulled through the farm, we went on a path that showed how the farm was sustainable and beneficial to the surrounding plants and animals. Our tour guide told us about the place and how it is run. I would have really loved the ride except that it was bumpy; you see, within 24 hours I managed to break a bed, scrape the skin off my pinky toe and fall down steps. Hopefully it will only last for a day and my always present gracefulness will return. After we left the farm we had dinner and then went to the laundry mat. It was really fun and I bought some Advil :) On the way back Brittney, Rebecca, Kelsie, Shana and I had a blast. We laughed the whole home, literally, it actually hurt to laugh when we got home. We then ventured out on a walk down the street to the harbour. It was really pretty even though the sun had already set, but the mosquitoes were absolutely ridiculous. I mean they were everywhere, I think with the water nearby they were already there and we came up and made a lovely late night snack. After that we came back and I uploaded some pictures and had a good time with Shana and Kelsie. Here are a few pictures I got today.

This is Sam one of the Belgian horses who took us around the farm.
Here is our tour guide, he was really knowledgeable about the place and was able to answer all of our questions.

The one on the left is Kim and Sam is on the right. Kim really enjoys pulling the lumber they collect; whereas Sam doesn't really mind anything and will just keep going and going and going... until he actually runs Kim and the bar connecting them into a tree. (on the far left)

Here I am at the lovely laundry mate that was connected to a mini-mart.

Here is Kelsie, me, Shana and Brittney down by the shore later at night.

This is silhouette of a little cottage along the shore and the sun is almost set in the back ground.

Well, I am going to take some Advil and lie down. I am really excited for Lunenburgh tomorrow and have some really good pictures for you!
