Our August trip to New Brunswick
Long time no talk. We were away for a bit and laziness kicked in on my part but I'm here now to get you back up to date. 
So we went to New Brunswick to my family reunion and Ryan got to meet half of my extended family. ( what he can remember anyway, booze go down well at the camp) So we made the trip up 
on Thursday afternoon and arrived just before midnight.... many unnecessary pit stops along the way ( 9 and 7 year old bladders) First nite we were able to stay inside the camp and took up space in Aunt Jane and Uncle Gerry's bed. The next morning the men,( mom 
and Mike were already there) made their way down to the lake, which had taken a big chunk out of the yard because of all the rain the week before. Well that was it, Ryan got the fever for fishing and he was off. The kids were able to bring up their bikes this year and were anxiously awaiting the arrival of their cousin Samantha so they could all play. I stayed back to clean up the camp and 
supervise. My brother Chris and his son Devin arrived later that evening along with my aunt and uncle, and my cousin Mike and his son Jessie. 
The weekend went off without a hitch. Saturday we all made our way to the wharf 
for the dwindling reunion. Not too many people made it up this year but it was still a blast. Ryan and the kids went tubing and I stayed back to get loaded. We all ate like pigs, which is the Kennedy thing to do and then came back home to the camp for a few good hours off asshole 
(mom you know who you are) Sunday was the day that Ryan caught his fish, a 20 3/4 inches of pure pickerel. He was hooked himself more after that, 
but I was glad he settled in well.On Monday my other cousin Andy and his beautiful daughters arrived form Ontario. We regrettably left that afternoon and make our way to moncton to stay in a hotel and to wash our clothes. we had every intention on going to magic mountain on Tuesday but it rained everyday and we decided to chance it on Wednesday instead. So Tuesday we stayed on another hotel and had to call the front desk to come and kill the gigantic spider that make it's way into our roomI can't actually say who had more of a fit, Ryan or myself but after nearly peeing himself the maintenance guy came to our rescue, (he almost shit his pants when he saw it too)So magic mountain here we came on Wednesday. It was freezing and windy but we managed to say for 5 
hours. Later that afternoon we went to my friend's camp in Northport, just outside of 
pugwash. What a breath of fresh air that was. Quiet, relaxing, the kids were occupied with their son, so we had some one on one conversation with adults and no screaming. Thursday we came back home regret ably, but man oh man what a trip. Exhausted, filthy, worn out........ a few words to describe my demeanour........ but always worth it!!!!
