candlelight
no obligations or places to go
stocked pantry
plethora of options
freedom.
dirty washcloths
laundry waiting
new shoes to be bought
feeling distraught
lessons to be taught
structure constricting
responsibility overrated
chores -
the word rings of sullen child
responsibility
asking to be forgotten

Vacation in the Valley
As the kids get older and I realize more and more how much I love adventuring with them, it is time to finally create a list of activities to do while visiting family in Agassiz so that we don't end up hanging out in the house all day, especially on rainy days like today.
Hiking:
Bridal Veil Falls: an oldy, but always a goody, especially for a picnic
Seven Sisters Trail
Not the first time I have tried to go on this trail, although I am pretty sure I walked it years ago. It is a short, lush 3 km trail.
Teapot Hill: a 5 km round-trip trail at Cultus Lake. This may be too long for Nico at this point, but perhaps a little food bribery may help?
Cheam Wetlands: We have gone here often with my parents and family, but just a reminder to me for those days that I can't come up with anything.
Whipoorwill Point Trail, Harrison:
As a teenager we frequented this trail in the summer to go hang out at Sandy Beach. It is probably too steep for Nico, but the 4km distance would be a nice afternoon date with Kai followed by ice cream in Harrison.
