Carrie left last night for her part of the Quebec french exchange. She will be happy to be with Melissa again as they became good friends last fall when Melissa was here. Even Oreo wanted to go and tried to hide in Carrie's bag as she was packing.
Preparing for Carrie's departure, she had a bunch of friends in on Thursday night, and then on Friday night we went out for supper at Up to Par. The weather was terrible, but none the less, Tanya braved the roads and came down to enjoy a good meal with Carrie, Sarah and I. By early Saturday, we were ready to head to Saint John, but we had to stop for a few last minute purchases at the mall.
Carrie also had one more wish....a stop at the bowling alley in Quispamsis.
Carrie, Jennifer and Lexie proved to quite the bowlers. Tanya also came with Emma, Madilyn and Sarah.
Then departure at Gate 1! (psst...Saint John only has one gate)
And an emotional last Goodbye through the security glass....
And a last picture of Carrie and Danielle.
As we left the airport, the plane took off right above us, it would have made a great picture if anyone would have had a camera out. We honked the horn, and it was great to see the pilots and all the passengers wave. Lexie followed the plane for 14 minutes with her eyes, and then got over it. This is almost how it looked, picture a smaller plane from a different angle.
So, on a final note, tonight Sarah and I enjoyed (like really enjoyed) a candle lit dinner, our first as empty nesters. See the enjoyment in Sarah's eyes?
