Another night, another baseball game, and what a game!

Game 7, a 1-run lead, bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, full count, and a third consecutive strike-out to end the game. Does it get any more exciting than this?

Thanksgiving may have been last week but we're still grateful for leftovers. We got bitten of the turkey-and-stuffing waffles.

Hard to watch the #MontrealCanadiens season opener when there's also a #BlueJays playoff game. In the end, we made the right decision and stuck with the winning game.

Well, we managed to knock Cape Split off our Bucket List, even though Mom never thought we could do the hike of over 13 km. Don't let the yawn fool you—we even had some pep in our step near the end of the hike as we—zzzzzzzz.

The parents went to a goat farm this weekend and had fun without us. One day, we hope to be as cool as these two doogoes around their goat friends.

Our woods ban was lifted last weekend and we've been back to enjoying our forest walks. But did autumn happen while we were away? 🍂😭

Barney:
This was the first road trip for Brandi and me where we left the province! Mom thought I'd be a little more nervous than usual so I got to wear my Thundershirt.

We ran an errand in New Brunswick and for our patience, were treated to some chicken yummies when we got home.

We finally got some much-needed rain this week. We think it's only about the third or fourth rainfall since mid-June, but we are grateful.

🌈 We're so sorry to hear 😢. Hope the sweet memories you have of them will comfort you.

Did we miss #InternationalDogDay? We wanted to show this home movie from three weeks ago, going to an awesome beach and living our best dog life.

For #ThrowbackThursday, we revisit some of our hikes in the woods, from about a month ago. You don't know how good you have it until it's no longer available. #woodban

In case you're wondering what's happening in our province right now 😔🔥. We respect people who respect the ban.

When you're told to stay out of the woods, you have to discover new areas of your city on your pack walk: We've been to the NW Arm before, but this was the first time in all our years we heard about this Halifax Explosion anchor! Thanks to our friends Syd & Jax (but mainly their mom)!

Every weekend, a new adventure: beaching.

This is what the first day of summer looked like for us this year: We finally went on this amazing hiking trail where the reward was this great, huge sand pile to run on! Happy summer solstice!

Bored, bored, bored. Been without Internet access for three days and ongoing. Is this what pioneer life was like?

This is the second faulty modem, and it's taking them that long to send a new one. Must be coming by horse and buggy. Hate our provider 🔔, and looking into switching.

Weekend road trip to a place called Wolfville. The parents may love it for the agricultural scene, but we can attest that there were absolutely zero wolves. For that reason, would not recommend.
