We're Walking in the Park

We had a lovely evening yesterday. We went over to Sarah’s cousin, her husband and their new baby. She is lovely and sat and gurgled and laughed on Sarah’s lap. Sarah’s Aunt and Uncle were also there, having driven 10 hours (still within Ontario!) to get there. We had drinks round Sarah’s Uncle’s Sister’s house too, which is just around the corner. We’d met everyone when we came over in April and it was really nice to see them again.

I think the holiday feeling is starting to wear off now. When we woke up this morning, Sarah and I both felt a bit low. Part of it was the thought that another week would soon start and it would be back to working and sorting out home life. The only thing we fancied doing was going for a drive in Mica, so we went out to Wal-Mart to get cheap toaster, iron and kettle. On the way back home we felt we should get out and go for a walk and I remembered a nice looking park I’d driven past in the week. It was nearby so we headed over. We’ve had more snow overnight (see photo album 9) and there children sledding in the park and some people cross country skiing. We went for a walk along the river’s edge until we came across Hogg’s Back falls. Not the same scale as Iguacu, but still pretty. Sarah sat for a while and I got excited as I realised I’d not made a snowman for many years so starting rolling a huge snowball body. Sarah was very encouraging and once I added a head with eyes, nose, mouth and hair we thought it was a shame we’d not bought our camera…so we drove home, got the camera and went back to the park just to take a photo of Frosty for you all to see. Luckily the children hadn’t kicked his head off while we were away.
