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!
To revist the end of the last post, the day after Katie's going away party at The Rellik we got up early to go to breakfast with my Dad's brother and his lovely bride (almost 20 years of marriage!!!). We went to our favorite breakfast spot in town, First Street Cafe who have the best waffles, scramblers and scones ever! Every time we go Aaron and I share our breakfast, he orders the special and I order a waffle, it's the perfect combo (of course with a scone!).
