It’s playdate Sunday so we opted to hit up the Princess Sodalite mine in Bancroft to get some sun shine, fresh air, and exercise swinging hammers, and moving rocks with our hands, and feet. The kids spent seventy five minutes going ape on everything they could get their hands on. Worked up a good hunger, and a need for a brief rest. We even ran into some other friends with a cottage nearby, which was unexpected, but pleasant. Their year old Boxer Bentley was there too. He is always good for a wrestle!
Busting up quartz and anything else that they could find not nailed down! It’s a great place to go if you want to sprain an ankle on all the loose screed. Fun times! I personally find a patch of ground and then pick through all the bigger rocks to uncover smaller more precious stuff that might have gone unnoticed in-between. Some days it works, and other times it’s all effort with no pay off. Such is life!
My wife’s friend and her husband, and children were there too. They have Bentley the boxer. She was one of our bridesmaids way back when. They looked to be having a good time. It wasn’t too hot, and all their boys could swing hammers, and smash stuff for however long they could stand it. Perfect for Minecraft obsessed kids I think. Here she is picking through some finer shards of rose quartz, or selenite (I don’t recall which).
We have our guest until 5:00 pm today so we started at the mine, and then grabbed lunch, and have driven to the cottage for some water sports, swimming, paddle boarding, and tubing fun. I want them to be active more so than being indoors playing on uncle Andrew’s PS5. Not that Goat Simulator isn’t a riot to watch & play, but they are supposed to be active! Not sedentary.
So not much of a lazy Sunday, but should be a good time anyway. I know my eldest daughter is happy to see her friend during the summer. Take care out there.
