Gros Morne National Park is pretty spectacular(and we have only seen a little bit) As you can see we finally caught up with the Taekema family and Yvonne is in her glory, 4 kids. We have only been here a day and a half and we are all getting along well. Today we went to the Discovery Center and the kids made some crafts and we all got educated on how Newfoundland came to be. We went for a walk to the lookout above the Centre and on the way back stopped at Brook Falls for a look. We ended up the day taking a walk along the beach at Lobster Cove Head and touring the old lighthouse.

We took Matthew, Yvonne and Jenna with us on the way out and Rachel and Catherine with us on the way back. Everybody had a little change of scenery. We had a good dinner and everyone is going to bed a little earlier tonite as we stayed up late last night getting reaquainted. The kids are good together and they are even going to wash our truck to get the pictures they drew on it off. It's a rule. Tomorrow we will visit the Visitor Centre and a maybe take a few short walks in other areas of the park. Monday both family's are off on the Viking Trail to see the 1000 year old Viking settlement in St. Anthony.

Canadiana: Newfoundland did not get electric power here until 1966.

The unofficial anthem of PEI is Bud the Spud. Written by whom. Hint. He has written a lot of good old songs about Canada.
