Six days...WOW! and we still have more?????

We were having technical difficulties last night, sorry this is a little late.
Day six was a Rainy day...
...But we made the most of it.
Before the rain swept in Aaron and I had a chance to take the bikes out once again and go for a ride down to a little breakfast place we found on our first bike ride a couple days ago. We had a nice little breakfast and on our way back encountered the beginning of the rain storm. By the time we got home we were wet...not soaked, but just a little damp.
We waited out the storm and once it blew over a bit we grabbed Sara and the babe and ventured out to Davison Orchard, a local apple orchard that harvest's more than just apples.

From there we did some errands and then went home for a little R&R.
We had a great pasta dinner and then dropped the little one off at grandma and grandpa's so we could all go on a double date (that ended with us sitting half way across the theatre from each other) to see The Hangover. Deffinitely a funny movie, but definitely not one to waster your $10 on...wait to see it on video...errr is that word out dated??? DVD??....no wait, VOD (Video on Demand...i.e. netflix via XBox righ?).
So we ended the night with cookies....mmmmm cOOOKIES!!!!!

Day Four Already?

Today was a full day...
We started fairly early this AM...8:11 to be exact. Because we are so far north in the hemisphere the sun stays up late and comes up early, we are darking dark hours between 10 pm and 4 am, and I am not joking. I have woken up every morning so far at 4 to pull down the shade so we can get a couple extra hours of ZZZZZ's. We have been up and out till almost 10 because until about 9 it feels like it is 5 in the afternoon (no, not "nine in the afternoon, your eyes are the size of the moon")!
...Ok so back to what I was saying...the day started early. Aaron took a 2.5 mile run while I dove in to my latest read: The Shack (so far so good- Chapter 5). Around 10 Aaron and I borrowed Matt and Sara's Mountain bikes and headed out for a nice ride in the "country". It totally felt like we were in Europe, touring the countryside on our bikes!









We got home a little before noon, just in time to have a nice lunch with Matt (who had to work today) and then off to walk the Downtown area with Sara and the baby.












While we were on our nice little walk we saw our first and informedly "only" Canadian Mounty encounter....on the side of a van! I guess there is really no such thing as the ture Mounty anymore.

Next we took in a nice steak dinner...thank you matt, and then headed for the beach...at 7:30 pm! It is still warm until the sun goes down, so we had to make the most of our day!












The day ended with a bath for bella, and now we are all off to bed! See you tomorrow!
