Wilderness Wednesday... not so much

Today was a lazy start to the day.  We had good intentions of making it, “Wilderness Wednesday” which was to include the markets, a hike on a trail and scouting out some waterfalls nearby.  However, we decided otherwise, while sitting poolside.  Kristi called it “Wiped out Wednesday”.  Yesterday’s hot day in the sun, wore us all out and chillin by the pool, seemed like a better idea.

We worked on Tyson’s science homework, while sitting poolside.  We thought it was appropriate, given we were talking about buoyancy, viscosity, mass and volume and their relationship to each other.   We had Tyson jump into the pool, (cannon ball vs. belly flop) to figure out the effect on buoyancy.  At first, Tyson thought he was hard done by, as he had to jump in the pool and get his hair wet.  We quickly reminded him of “hard done by”… when we said his schoolmates were probably sitting inside, reading textbooks about the same subject, and it was snowing outside.  He agreed and suffered through, the poolside lesson.

Pearl took her first dip in the ocean.  She wasn’t 100% sure about it.  We will try again I think the waves threw her off.  She did like playing in the sand and digging her feet in and out.  I gave up on trying to keep it out of her face.  It was next to impossible and she didn’t seem too fazed by it.  At one point, she stuck her hand in the sand and then her thumb in her mouth.  No reaction… we’ll see what the back end of her diaper looks like tomorrow, granular?

I think Dan is looking forward to getting back to straight roads when we return to Canada.  The roundabouts still are causing us trouble.  Can’t nail down what straight is, and once we do, the next roundabout doesn’t have as many spokes or it has more, which changes what straight is.  Needless, to say we need to keep our sense of humour when we are getting lost on a regular basis.
