What we really wanted to do on Monday was head up to Mount Seymour and try out all the sleds Andrew's coworker and carpool buddy keeps passing on to us. I think we have 8 sleds now and since we haven't really had any snow to speak of, we're all dying to try them out. Failing that, we wanted to check out the ice palace in Cloverdale. But, we decided to put off sledding in the hopes that Uncle Rob could join us. And when Monday morning dawned, David didn't want to skate. So we went to Derby Reach instead. Packed up some lunch and branches from around our yard and found a camping spot to have a fire.
Unfortunately, we haven't been drying our wood out, even though every time we try to have a fire and the wood won't burn we talk about moving it out of the rain. So it took almost a whole bottle of fire starter fluid and a lot of paper and all we got was a lot of smoke.
Still, it was enough to cook some marshmallows.
And it wasn't raining so it was still fun.
If cold. Seriously, I haven't been that cold since the Cloverdale Parade.
Me and my hubby. xo
Since the fire was a bit of a disappointment, we decided to try and catch some fish.
We used marshmallows as bait.
(don't we live in the most beautiful spot on earth? I think so!)
And when we got home, we turned on the fire, made some hot drinks and vegged on the couch. Pure bliss.
