redIt was another lazy day, the girls were down to the beach to hunt for sea glass, it is an odd time for tides, we are only getting one low tide a day and it is falling right in the middle of the day. The mornings start our cloudy and by noon the sun comes out and burns off the clouds. When we went back down there were three Great Blue Herons on the beach.

Two of the birds flew off, but one of them stuck around.

The girls were walking towards the bird and eventually it flew off.

It was hot and sunny, and about 10 degrees cooler at the water then up at the cottage.

There have also been a lot of mosquitos around, both down at the water and up at the cottage.

pecIn the afternoon we headed out to the east side of the island, somewhere we didn’t get to last time. We made a stop at Prim Point.

Prim Point Light Station is the first and oldest lighthouse on Prince Edward Island. It was built in 1845 and only one of a few round brick lighthouses in Canada.

On the way to the lighthouse there was this tree decorated with various fishing boat floats.

From Prim Point we made our way up to Montague and then back to the cottage.
