Sightseeing was our main objective for the week since Nanny has never been to Canada. While the kids had a birthday party, Nanny and I picked up S and went to lunch at another bay. This looks like a small fishing village. Nanny said it reminded her of Maine. Another day we decided to take a ferry ride to one of the other islands. There is a Bible college on an island (that you can only get to by ferry), so we thought that we would go there and the kids could swim along the beach until the next ferry comes back. What S failed to tell us is that there really isn't anything on the island but the Bible college. Three hundred and fifty people live on this island (not including the college). The ferry ride was a very beautiful trip, but when we got over there (we did not bring my car) and started up the ramp mom and I panicked because it looked deserted and we were wondering what we were going to do with the kids for another hour and a half. So, we jumped right back on the ferry. The kids were not happy! The ferry then made a stop at Kuper Island. Kuper Island is an island where only First Nation people live. You must be invited to go on this island. There are no stores or gas stations on this island. The people have to ride the ferry to get supplies. We did find out (which is very sad) that there is one store that is on the island and that is a liquor store. After our very long ferry ride back, we made a pit stop at Fuller Lake and the kids got to swim - this made it all better! ALL IN ALL it was a great day with new sights that I have not seen. Just think the beauty that surrounds us was all made for God's glory. It has made me think about the verse that even the rocks will cry out if we do not praise God. He truly is an awesome God and we are very blessed to be a part of his creation.
