Avonlea is the most fabulous spot we've seen in Canada. This attraction is a full reconstruction of the Anne of Green Gables story. We got there about 10AM, so we missed the first hour and took about half an hour to get into the groove. They have different events going on every 15 minutes and if you just follow each event, you are entertained solidly from 9 AM until 5 PM. They alternate farm-type exhibits, with Anne skits and musical experiences. We started with oyster shucking that was followed by dressing up in clothes - as seen with Yvonne dressed as Anne. Then, there was a shindig with a fantastic east-coast band - guitar, bass, accordion and snare with voice. They had small skits all day that played out the more famous scenes of the original story. All the cast on site today were fantastic. They played in role all day. Anne spent lots of time talking to Yvonne who really enjoyed discussing the seriousness of anger at Gilbert for calling her "carrots". We got to participate in square dancing and they also had wagon rides and pony rides, so we had a very full day. This was just the best place we've seen that gets the kids involved at the same time as giving the adults a great time and also gives you a taste of PEI culture and history.

The best part is for the price of one day, we get to go back tomorrow and kids younger than 6 are free.
