After a late night, we all slept in. We got to Kosh and Sarah’s this morning a little later and the kids ran around and played. When our plans were finally set we headed out, first stop Canadian tire for some new brake lights for Josh. It’s always so interesting to me to watch the Campbell men work…they can do/fix anything. Next, lunch! 

We headed to Scores! 

After lunch we headed out to the town of Beaupre a little village about an hour north of Quebec City. It was a pretty drive up the St. Lawrence River. We arrived at the Canyon of St. Anne to do some hiking. I was very skeptical, I had a feeling it would be a long day! 606 stairs later and 6,000 actual steps I was right, but it had all been worth it, the canyon and waterfall were so pretty. 


We had such a great time! The kids all hiked and ran and enjoyed so much of it. 

Thes three girls have missed each other. 

Uncle Josh was the only one that could solve this puzzle! ⬆️

The kids did this, they all worked together to solve it. 

They also loved this inaguac rock formation place. Everyone had their picture made with their creation. 

When we finished we headed back into Quebec City, from the hill at the canyon you could see Quebec City in the distance. 

We saw a huge Catholic Church, the Catholic influence here is everywhere. When we got back into town we were starving so Josh took us to their favorite place. East side Marios, an Italian place. It was soooooo good! I’m not sure if it was because we were starving or not but it tasted delicious! The best part for me was hearing Sophia speak French here at this restaurant. She called her pasta “papillon” which is French for butterflies. Ok, that tied for the best part along with the garlic bread, and the pasta. 😬

Josh has been trying to get us on the ferry to Levi at night since we got here, so tonight was the night. Only it was the coldest night so far…I was freezing!!!! We arrived a little earlier and had an hour before the ferry ran so we decided to visit the plains of Abraham. Alan has got some books about Quebec and informed us it was a place where a famous battle was fought…and also a perfect high place for the winds to whip around us as we walked around. Alan, Josh and the kids ran and played all over while Aunt Sam just watched it all. Watching Alan and Josh is a favorite past time of mine. They are so different, yet so alike and when they haven’t a care in the world and are just having fun with their kids and nieces and nephews is when they are at their best. They ran around, down hills and through bushes the wind was blowing and it was cold but none of them noticed. It was very sweet! 

FERRY TIME!! ⛴

We made it onto the 8:30 pm ferry. The wind was whipping, rain was pelting us and stinging our skin but everyone was happy! It was such a different view of Quebec City, Josh was right it was beautiful. Even though there was no sunset because of the clouds it was still beautiful. The kids loved watching them untie and tie up the boat and enjoyed the wind. 

We my toured around Levi (the south shore) and then headed home. It was a full long day, we pulled into the driveway around 10pm.

A perfect day!
