June 24th - Today we went to the furniture store so my brother and his fiancee could pick out a new bedroom suite. Grandma S and Grandpa J wanted to buy them one for a wedding present. Let me tell you, a couple of hours in a full furniture store with 5 girls, 4 of them 4 and under while, can certainly be interesting! At one point I managed to get them all on the bed for a picture. A little later I managed to get them all sitting in a row playing eye spy. Didn't last very long. Then we found the store's strollers so I got 1 kid in each stroller and lined them up in front of a big screen tv. Then we thought it was time to go so we returned the strollers and found out it wasn't time to go so we all picked Lazy-Boys and had a little rest. Apparently the salesman does not have children. He told the girls that he had a prize for whoever could be quietest. Well, let me tell you, it worked because not one peep was heard from any of them. Unfortunately, the guy had 1 single furniture store delivery truck replica. Yep, that's right, only 1! Way to go buddy.

After we left the furniture store, we went back to the hotel for lunch. My brother's fiancee picked up a couple of pizza's and Grandma and Grandpa picked up some Subway sandwiches. After lunch, it was time for a swim.


Dinner time! Do you know how hard it is to find a family restaurant that can seat 10 people together without an hour+ wait? Anyway, we found a place and had a good meal!
June 25th - Shediac, NB
We drove out to Shediac today to see the big lobster. When we arrived, we noticed that there were construction gates all around indicating it was closed. Apparently we didn't care because we went through anyway and took pictures on the giant lobster before heading over to Captain Dan's on the wharf for lunch. My brother's fiancee works full time and goes to school full time so she is a very busy girl. She managed to get the week off of work, but still had to go to school every day. That meant that everywhere we went, people saw my brother and I, along with 5 children and 1 set of grandparents. The looks we got were very amusing. Some people even commented and questioned. "Wow! 5 girls!" or "Are the all yours?" to which my brother would always reply "That's what she tells me!" and technically that is true. 3 are his daughters
and 2 are his nieces, so yes, all his, kind of.

Ok, so technically I didn't take this one but it is a rare chance to see a picture of me and my girls so I threw it in too.
