We had quite the thunderstorm last night and lots of rain, according to Environment Canada Charlottetown received 74mm on Saturday. We missed low tide the first day we arrived, today it was at 11:30am. The girls and I went down early when it was going out and started hunting around for some sea glass. Claudia found a dead crab.

It was still a cloudy morning. Here is the stairway that comes down from our cottage.

After brunch the sun came out and we headed back down for low tide. The tide isn’t that low, but it will get lower as the week goes on.

There is a Great Blue Heron (Ardea hernias) that hangs around.

I was following the heron as it kept moving away.

It was a hot and humid day. The sun was out for most of the day, but it rained when we went into town.

Getting closer to the heron.

About as far as the girls went in the water. The water wasn’t that cold.

When we got back to the cottage the power was out so we headed into town for some supplies. When we got back it was still out, if it stayed off it was going to interrupt our dinner plans. The owners hooked up a generator to keep the water filtration going, but it only left the bbq as an option for cooking. The power came on about 30 minutes after we got back. That meant we could go pick up dinner.

We bought four live 1.5lb lobsters and brought them back to the cottage.

The first two lobsters were ready.

After dinner we watched the sunset.

The end of a good day in PEI.

Here is the cottage we are staying in, the Wild Rose. We ended the evening with a fire and smore’s, we had to go old school and carve a stick to roast the marshmallows.
