Another Balloon Adventure

Photos of the dragon family when they invited the Avery twins along on another balloon adventure to Newfoundland

Meeting Friends

It was mid June, and we were headed east to catch a ferry to Newfoundland. Since we had to pass through Montreal to get to the Maritimes, we had arranged to meet up with some friends. It was a lovely day so we got together in the park outside their building. It was the very first time any of them had met in person, so everyone insisted on a group photo.

There was Jude and Grace with their children Bonnie and Jamie, and the entire dragon family,
together with, from the left: Poppy, Ben, Willow, Holly (aka Buttercup), Ginger, and their puppy Biscuit.

Their new friends had seen plenty of photos of the dragons before, but had never met one in person. Poppy was drawn to Nuri right away...

But Ben was a little apprehensive...

Avery and Emily loved their friend's puppy, Biscuit....and asked if they could pet him....

Bonnie was still holding the map, after we'd gotten lost. Driving in Quebec can be a huge challenge thanks to all the really long place and road names, which are all in French, so by the time we've figured out what the signs say, we've already passed the exit. And we were a little confused as to which highway - 20 or 40 - was the Trans Canada Hwy (we took the wrong one).
But we did eventually make it.

Little Emily came out to join them...

but Grace and Jude had gone into the RV to make lunch for everyone.

Little Emily wanted to know how it was possible for Avery and his sister Emily to go with the dragons on a flying adventure, so Winston brought the hot air balloon to show them, just as another new girl, Candy, arrived. Then Holly and Emily climbed into the basket with Nuri to check it out....

Meanwhile Ben and Scorch were becoming better acquainted.

And of course, they all wanted another group photo taken.

Everyone had a great time with their new friends, and they all agreed that they'd like to visit each other again some time.

Burntcoat Head

After leaving their friends, the dragons continued on to the Maritimes with Avery and Emily in the hot air balloon. They decided to take a little break at Burntcoat Head on the Bay of Fundy.

The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world, with the water levels rising and dropping over 18 metres every six hours. When the dragons arrived, the tide was out, exposing the ocean floor all the way to the island...

'Wow, that's some tide!" exclaimed Saphira.

There were people walking out on the ocean floor....

...and they had to be careful not to step on the barnacles, snails, and other sea life in the tide pools.

But it would be a long walk for the children, and she didn't want them stuck out there when the tide came back in, so Saphira insisted they all stay near the shore...
