Hello friends! Did you have a fun weekend? Ours felt like just the right balance: catching up with friends Friday and Saturday night and having time during the day just for us. Yesterday we took the little one swimming at our local kids pool and had so much fun watching her splash around and giggle, it almost made us forget we were all playing in children's chlorinated urine. This morning, we woke up to gorgeous sunshine and made best efforts to go snowshoeing at Mt. Seymour, but unfortunately, everyone else had the same plan and we sat at the base of the mountain for 40 minutes, barely moving. The word on the radio was that the parking lot was full and people were waiting a good half hour for a spot, so we abandoned the plan. We were really disappointed because we had spent what felt like a tangible portion of our lives packing the parade of equipment the little one needs to do such an activity, but as Craig sipped on his lemonade, he reminded me, and perhaps pointed in the air, that we too needed to make lemonade from this situation. I think I threw up a little in my mouth when he said that, and then realized that his eternal optimism is rather endearing. So, we headed to one of our favourite local parks: Campbell Valley Park. On our way there, we made a quick stop to pick up some bird seed and this is what was parked beside us:
He had three birds loose in his car. I know cell phones are completely distracting in a car, so I'm pretty sure that three birds, who all have the potential of crapping pretty much anywhere, or landing on your head, or worse treating your head like a perch whilst pecking out your eyeballs, could make for some hazardous driving conditions. But, the strange encounter made me realize that perhaps our day was destined to be spent in the company of birds.
