Anvil island


you know something serious is happening when dad gets up even earlier than me in the morning. we got into the car this morning at 7.15am which is pretty early. i had a 9am breakfast appointment on Anvil island. i couldn't have breakfast any earlier in case i was sick on the boat.

the journey out was great, watching the water whizzing past the window only inches away, and the spray was wonderful. When we got to anvil there were lots of people waiting to see me, including Shawna who was right down on the dockside.

we met nurple the armadillo, the purple team's mascot, and lots of kids on camp, and a few people from church. i'm not sure whether they called being at camp work too, but once again i was able to gather yet more evidence that dad has the best job in the world.

mom went swimming in the sea, i got to splash, and dad went down the anvil slide. this is apparently one more step along the road to being a real canadian for those not fortunate enough to have been born here.

the boat road back to the mainland was really exciting, bouncing up and down on the waves and lots of noise. according to the driver i'm the only little kid who's ever enjoyed it. maybe in a few years time i could get a job driving the boat? that's assuming i haven't taken over dad's job of course.
