Dragons in Newfoundland, part 2

The continuing story of the dragons and Avery twins in Newfoundland

Flying High

Avery and Emily were continuing their adventures in Newfoundland with the dragons,

soaring high over the town of Durrell....

Getting a bird's eye view of everything far below...

Twillingate Harbour

The dragons flew to Twillingate harbour....

...and landed on a wharf ...

Saphira wanted to show the kids some lobsters.

They had been seeing the traps everywhere in Newfoundland, and she wanted to show the kids what the fishermen were catching in them...

But Avery was more interested in the boats....and climbed into one...

Sparkle and Winston joined him...

Breaking Camp

It was a glorious morning when everyone got up. They had spent the night camped near the Captain Cook monument at Bottle Cove, on the western end of Humber Arm

They had arrived in the dark, and Winston couldn't help but stop and take in the amazing scenery...

But there were chores to be done before they could have breakfast and move on....

Saphira was airing out the blankets....

..while Emily rolled up the bed rolls....

The balloon had deflated overnight....

so Winston had to get out a new one...

"Good thing you brought plenty of extras!"

"Yes," added Emily, "Or we'd be stuck here."

So they hurried to finish their chores...

...because they were having pie for breakfast...

Flying Over Cape Breton

Their four week vacation was almost over, and it was finally time to start heading back towards home.

They had left Newfoundland behind, and were flying over Cape Breton Island....

high over the meadows of purple fireweed...

Snack Envy

The dragons decided to stop in a fishing village, to give the kids a rest and enjoy some snacks....

Saphira had packed several bags of nutritious dragon kibble for her little ones...

...while Daisy had sent along Doritos for her twins....

Scorch and Eliot thought the twins' chips looked so much tastier....

"You want to try some of ours?" asked Emily.

"We have plenty."

Cape Tormentine

The dragons continued on along the Strait of Northumberland, and decided to take a rest stop at Cape Tormentine...

There they were approached by a flock of hungry geese.
"Would you happen to have anything spare to eat, that you wouldn't mind sharing?"

"We most certainly do!" exclaimed Scorch as he quickly pulled out a bag of dragon kibble.....

and after dumping the contents, he pulled out another bag....

But Saphira was not amused....

"What are you doing?? That stuff is expensive!!"

"...and it's specially formulated for dragons. Who knows what it will do to them?"

'Well, " replied Scorch, "We're sick of this stuff. And who knows, maybe they won't mind breathing fire."

Picnic Along the River

Continuing homeward to the northwest, the dragons really didn't want to take the time to cook, so they went the easy route and got some take-out for a picnic along the St. Lawrence River....

'This is so much better than dragon kibble!' thought Nuri...

Thank You!

After everyone was finished their dinner, Emily went to pick a bouquet of flowers, and brought them to Saphira...

"These are for you...."

"...to thank you for taking me and Avery along on your trip. We had such a good time."

Saphira picked her up and gave her a big hug. "Thank you sweetie. it was really nice having you both along."

Sparkle noticed her Mom's reaction to Emily's flowers, so went and picked some too....

"I picked some flowers for you too Mom."

Saphira picked her for a hug as well..

When the others saw their Mom's reaction to the flowers, they rushed to pick some too...

"We picked flowers for you too Mom!!"

Saphira suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"Thank you sweeties, the flowers are beautiful...." but she only had two hands.

Meanwhile Winston, not wanting to be outdone by his kids, quickly picked a bouquet too...

He handed her the flowers and leaned in to give her a kiss...

"I love you."

Saphira put Emily and Sparkle down, and hugged each of her children in turn as they gave her their bouquets. "I love you all, and thank you for the all the beautiful flowers. They are my favourite! I think we all had a wonderful trip, and we'll need to do it again some day."

*And so ends the dragon's trip to Newfoundland.
