Last night we were sitting at the playground in Prince's Island watching Charlie walking around, pondering life one year ago, when little brownbear was just over 2 months old. Every May long weekend, the pressure becomes insurmountable to go out and do something adventurous on May Long. Especially in Canada, where the first signs of summer have come, and are usually gone by this weekend. Yes, the week preceding May Long is inevitably hot and crazy, and by Friday night, it is pouring, snowing, hailing, windy, cold or overcast. Especially in Calgary, where we seem to get our "rainy season" from Mid-May to Mid-June.
What did we do last year??? We seriously wracked our brains and came up with nada. I think we tried to sleep. I'm sure that is what we did. Sleep, sleep, sleep.
This year, even though we now get 11-12 hours a night uninterrupted sleep if we want as talked about
here(really though, we go to bed late and brownbear is up by 6am), the world is our oyster. But the pressure to get out and DO is simply gone, poof! Vamoose! It's so refreshing. But I'm not gonna lie, I'm still going to use this weekend to get as much sleep as I can, so maybe things aren't that free, but let's just pretend;)
PS: We also talked about hooking a high-end GPS up to little brownbear and tracking his path around the playground since we think it would be the most chaotic path you could imagine. As a mapper, I am up for the challenge, but until he can roam further than a 15 foot radius, I'm afraid I don't have the moola to spend a lot for a high end surveying GPS unit. Still, the idea...
