The first thing we did after breakfast and cleanup, was to go swimming at the pool that was in the campground we stayed at. We stayed there for about an hour until we had to go off to the Anne of Green Gables Park that was about two minutes away.
The Anne of Green Gables Park is a town with all the houses from Anne of Green Gables and they have all of the main events happening through the day. First they’ll have Anne coming from the station, and later she will be getting into a bad temper with Rachel and later they will have the tea pary with her friend and so on. The whole thing though, was more set towards younger kids I think. The oldest kid I saw there was 11 years old. It was really interesting though because it also had a place where you could look at a bunch of pictures that L.M. Montgomery took, and you can tell that some of them were used to help with the movie.
It was really funny though, when we went into the costume place that lets you borrow a costume for free, and Teyauna (14 months) went over to one of the hats that have red bangs and braids coming out, and put it on! The reason why it was so funny, was ’cause Teyauna has such little hair, that it almost looked like the red hair could be hers! Except for the fact that the braids went past her knees!
Teyauna was also really excited when we went over to a place where someone was playing music, and she started dancing and clapping. She really loves music, and dances and claps whenever she hears it.
Outside of the general store, there was a game set up that was played in the same time period as Anne of Green Gables. When Jaeden and Dailin saw it, they stood and watched as one of the characters and some other random person were playing it. Once those people left, Jaeden and Dailin say down and played it, remembering the rules from how the last people played it. It was a game board set up so that you had to flick disks around and try to get them as close as you can to the middle. The closest you get, the more points you get at the end of the game, so the other person tries to use their discs to keep the opponent away. That’s all I gathered from what they told me, but they played that game for quite a while and liked it a lot.
After spending quite a bit of time there, and the boys all had been wanting to leave for a while, we set out for the beach. We had to stop at an Info center first though, and took a couple of wrong turns getting there, but we finally made it to the orange sandy beach and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Well, mostly, except for when Jaeden and Orin got into a sandball fight that led to two very dirty people, who, when mom said that we had to leave, they just washed themselves off in the ocean.
