ESCAPE.

Finally, after a week (or more) of having to hide inside with different illnesses, we took off, headed out, escaped!!! I have never had so many secondary infections come from a cold. really, it was ridiculous. But now we are on the mend, and i thought a 10 hour Family day trip to a local Provincial park was much needed. *ah*

IT was the first time we explored in a long long time.... and my body was not up to much. Between antibiotics and fluid in my head i felt pretty beat. Push push push, it took a lot just to cover the 2 km trail we chose. (and if you know us, we walk a lot further than that on a daily basis...2 km isn't very far) But everyone else was loving it!! Sam and Julia took off and crossed boardwalks and bridges and explored Fungus, woodpecker holes, leaves and signs of spring.

This season is interesting in that, it doesn't feel like Spring yet (lacking in color), but the mysterious beauty of Winter has melted away. I learned from a friend that this season is called "Stirring" in the Elf World, and i like that. :)

Our family has chosen to take a family day in honor of each person's birthday. So i took a picture of Sam on the beach to celebrate his near approaching 3rd birthday.

Ah. the silence of an EMPTY beach. The warmth of Pre-Spring, a breeze, the relaxation of watching kids entertain themselves happily with rocks and waves.... *ah* *Sigh*
