Sean's Bit

Stop!
Anyone who
doesn't like 
me, stop 
reading,
JUST STOP!

O.K., now
that
EVERYBODY
is reading...

We went to the
Alexander
Graham 
Bell Museum
in Baddeck.
He was an
inventor, a
teacher for 
deaf students,
and a dreamer!
The museum 
is full of artifacts from his life and inventions.  We also watched a
few movies about his life.  He helped create Canada's
first motorized airplane, (the Silver Dart) as well as kites so big that they had
to be pulled by large boats.  (These were much bigger than the kite I am flying in this picture) He was trying to lift a man using a kite, and to do this he developed, and patented the tetrahedron.   In his later years he worked with hydrofoils, and set a speed record of 118 kph!

While driving along the Cabot Trail, we stopped at Ingonish Beach.  We had it all to ourselves, so in 10 degree weather, we decided to go in!!!  The waves were awesome and huge!  The biggest one was almost up to my shoulders.  The sand was really, really nice!

P.S.  Having lots of fun, fighting with my sister, and driving my parents crazy!!!

P.P.S. You guys are bragging about your weather now, but wait, just wait.........................................................................................
