I don’t know what happened here, the post below was MIA, lost in the abyss, originally published (I thought) July 7.
Here we go again, the quality time one desires as a grandparent. The holding and cuddling, the snuggling and feeding of the the baby and then having them fall asleep in your arms. To listen to the purring of their soft breathing, the occasional sighs and the peaceful calmness of their trust. It takes me back to the good times we had as young parents, except now as they say we can give them back as they misbehave or become cranky. Not that we would.
All the adults are out at present and Madden and I are having some quality time bonding whilst we walk. It’s good for him to get out in the fresh air and sun (not direct sun mind you) and also good for me. I’ve been neglecting myself lately so here we can kill two birds with one stone. He can get some air and I’ll get a stretch.
We are laying over here for a day or so before heading back off to camp. The time will be spent bonding with the kids, Madden time of course, and buying enough grub for the next phase of our journey. We will leave here tomorrow morning for Herald Provincial park, across the Shuswap Lake from Salmon Arm. We will stay there until the 17th and then back onto the highway for more adventures further south.
It will be interesting times.
