Quebec With The Cousins

I've been wanting to go visit Cousin French (Micheal) up in the nation of Quebec for some time. Finally, on the long weekend, I got my chance! Joel was going to visit his folks, so he allowed me and our other crazy cousin Luke, to go with him. We drove his sister Stacey's Saturn up, instead of his car, because she needed to get snow tires put on up there. We left on Thursday at around 3:30. After gassing up, we headed across the fixed link, through New Brunswick, and after around 4 hours of enjoying one another's company, we made it to Kent Building Supplies in Cambellton, NB. Micheal and Uncle Serge were getting off work soon after we got there at 8:30, so we waited around for them. We drove another 1/2 hour to get to the Leger's Home, in Nouvelle, Quebec. Micheal was hungry after work, so Luke and I went with him to a little restaurant 2 minutes away and ordered le poutine mouiller. It was a french restaurant. It was scrumptious. We weren't ready to go home yet, so we just did some driving around in the dark and rain, stopping to take a few pictures. When we finally came back to the house, we just visited with each other, and kept each other entertained, as usual. By the time Micheal got the cat out from under my bed and almost got stuck himself,  It was pretty late.

Finding the way around "Texting while driving" :D

I like this picture, Cousin French.

It felt good to sleep in Friday morning. I had some Dejeuner then went down to wake the lazy bones up. Talk about hard to get out of bed! When they finally were up and at it, Cousin French took Luke and I for a rather srapey canoe ride. The water was really too low to be canoeing on, but we tried it out anyway. It was fun nonetheless! The funny thing was, in the next 15 minutes, when we were done, the river rose a couple feet! We didn't feel like canoeing anymore, so we went on his raft instead. In the afternoon, we went to the top of a mouton, and looked down at all the houses, and stuff, freezing the whole time. Next we went to the same warf we went to the evening before, and took some more pictures. 

Shortly after we got back to the house, I made a chocolate surprise for dessert. As I was making it, Paul and Melonie Robertson arrived with their 4 kids, Victoria, Jenna, Megan and Nathan. We ate really quickly, because we had to leave to go to the free skate at 7:00. It was my first time skating since last year! It was so fun! That evening, after we ate our dessert, we played a prank on my friend Kara, with the cell phone then played a short game of Scum, then got sorta bored. That's when we decided to play the arms game. It was complete hilarity! 

Love these girls!!! :)

It was another late night, so I slept in once again the next morning. The girls and I had a good talk, well into the night. Aunt Hazel made an immaculate breakfast, to start the day off. We did some exploring outside. Then came back in the house until after lunch. Around 3:00 or so, we went back to the mountain to do a hike. I REALLY enjoyed the hike! Next time I go back, I plan to do a lot more hiking! It got dark really quickly, so we went back to the house for supper. After supper, us young people played "What would you do if", and "Psychiatrist". There was lots of laughing going on!! It was so much fun! Since I had to work at 5:00 Monday morning, and had to wake up at 4:30 Sunday morning too, I wanted to get to bed earlier Saturday night. At 10:00, I threw in the towel, ignoring the cries of protest from the good-timers. haha
