In total my wife got a whooping six hours of peaceful time to herself on Mother’s Day, if you don’t count the presence of our dog. We spent five hours or so at Canada’s Wonderland enjoying the beautiful weather, including the drive there and back, and finding a parking spot and you get roughly six hours of uninterrupted alone time to read, watch a movie, eat a warm meal unbothered by anyone. Glorious.
Turns out my youngest is a mere hairs breadth from being able to start riding some of the giga coasters in the park. I’m excited, she is petrified. My eldest and I took a moment to ride Yukon Striker, so at least we got one big ride in yesterday. We tackled many of the smaller rides, and introductory coasters at my youngest’s request. If she’s not ready to go massive, I’m not going to force it. I would like them all to enjoy the park freely, not have it forced upon them.
It was sunny and warm when our of the path of the breezes, and almost chilly when exposed to unfettered wind. My face got a little rosy from the sun, but I didn’t burn. Thank the gods for the February base coat we earned in the Florida Keys. I think that ore-exposure saved us from getting actual burns yesterday.
After all that walking I came home and swapped out my wife’s tires. Winters were washed, and ready to be put away in storage until November. Now I have the van tires to either do myself, or pay a professional to do. I guess it depends on how busy I get this week. I at least have the tires on hand, so I’m agile, nimble, able to do whatever. Cool.
Welp, it’s Monday. Best be about my business. Ciao Bella!
