How Adult little Miss

Hibiscus Miss




Allen and Charlotte went for a bike ride to a local Farmer's Market and brought back this blooming bliss for me and Harriet. Thank you love! A husband who listens so attentively. I am sooo lucky.

Charlotte's Last Night with Hannah




Hayley, Marcos and Charlotte's friend Hannah invited us over for dinner in the park. It was so pleasant and amazing. The two girls rode around on their bikes while the parents talked. You will be missed my Montreal loves!

The Archeology Museum in the Old Port






One of our final activities in Montreal was a visit to La Musee Archeologique. We were drawn into the museum because there was an Easter Island exhibit. Turns out none of the monuments were allowed to be taken off of the island, now belonging to Chile, so it was quite lame. We left quickly and ended up going to a tiny lookout point. You can view the entire city from there. Charlotte enjoyed herself thoroughly. The coolest part of the museum however was the Underground city. It is a genuine archeological dig that one can walk through. We saw a cemetery and the pipes were made of stone. It was awesome.

So above are the reasons we should have been persuaded to go to Perth. We are mainly headed there because Allen found a program that interested him. But we have begun to think that maybe it is our destiny....

Down the street is Alleycat Bowling Alley and Fitness Centre. The decor is 1950s style...my fave!!!



There is Grandma's Lunchbox (Allen's nickname is Lunchbox)
There is also The Perth Courier (Allen is a messenger)

Also happens to be a store called Sweet Peach that is for natural parenting. The owners are a mother and daughter pair (the daughter is a doula and the mother's name is Norma --- Crazy!!!)
