Summer is gone! Hello school and fall hiking!! (Duncan's Cove)

HA!! Could I possibly blog about Duncan's Cove again? What can I say, it is a family favorite!  On Labour Day Monday, Liam said, "Since we went to the Fun Park and didn't go hiking on Family Hiking Day on Sunday, we should go to Duncan's Cove today!" It melts my heart. I LOVE that my kids love to go hiking, and that he suggested it, even though we missed it almost all summer long.  So of course, we went again, and we have loads more pictures (in all the same places) to prove it. This time is was a foggy day.  It was great for scenery/ ocean photos, but it was neat (maybe bizarre) to see a fishing boat hugging the coast.  How on earth to these people get out there in that condition? It must be a strange feeling to be out on the ocean and not be able to see in front of your face.  We did the inland route on the way there which is a bit faster, and took the up/down twisty ocean side route back.  I surprised everyone at the turn around spot (the far shelter) with a whole box of chocolates! We headed about half way back before having our lunch and a couple more chocolates on a patch of rocks.  There were lots of grey seals out today, swimming.  We thought the ones laying out on the rocks had to be something else, as they seemed way too large.  We haven't been able to confirm if they were something else or not.  The fog lifted just as we were finishing the last little section of trail walking.  It was great to see the sun, but we were quite happy to have the cooler weather for the hike.  After all, we've seen this hike many times in sunny weather already.
