I Love Anne of Green Gables! I LOVE IT!!! Growing up it was my very favorite movie and is probably still in my top 3. I read the whole Anne series as a child and have not read it since. I LOVE having the excuse to read it this month.
So, since I get to read it, I thought I would read it aloud to Solace. As it turns out, the boys love it as much as Solace. The most surprising thing has been how much Armour loves it-LOVES it-he asks me to "yead mor Anne-What will happen to her now?" We are already more than halfway through.
Now, I told you all about Novel Adventures, right?! I just found out about the ideal adventure for this month and this book (Stef-you must have been inspired to pick this for this month)...
I was looking at this awesome website, http://www.tourismpei.com/index.php3 about Prince Edward Island. I was trying to show the boys pictures of the places Anne goes and talks about. While I was exploring the website, I found this:
L.M. Montgomery's 134th Birthday Green Gables Heritage Site
Cavendish Anne's Land Map
GPS N46° 29.76 W-063° 23.1
Join us at Green Gables on Sunday, November 30, 2008 to celebrate L.M. Montgomery's 134th birthday! Explore the house and grounds that inspired L.M. Montgomery's world famous novel Anne of Green Gables. Try your hand at making an old fashioned treat. Birthday cake and cordial will be served.
Oh, how I wish we could all be there! But since I know I can't I think I will try to figure out how to make raspberry cordial and a period birthday cake...If I get that motivated, I will be sure to post pictures!
I also found another awesome website linked to the first one-check it out-awesome: http://www.anne2008.com/
Also, I will be shortly (like in 10 minutes or so) be posting a blog on my personal blog about Solace that relates to this book. If you are interested, check it out: http://beckeeandwes.blogspot.com/.
