V does BC
We've only been on the ground for 48 hours or so, and we've already been on two hikes, met distant cousins, been shoe shopping, hit the farmer's market, done a splash park (coffee in hand - or at least, L's empty coffee cup) and made krumkake. Whew.
More updates as adventures permit!

Miz V and Grandma L
Pocky and Paddling
This weekend we took the canoe out for V's first big ride. We went across the channel to Toronto Island and brought some sushi picnic. The island is usually swamped with visitors and tourists, but the municipal strike has frozen the ferries, so it was eerily deserted, and beautiful.Miz V had a nap on the way over, at my feet in the bow, and snoozed nicely until we hit some waves and the water broke right over her head! Soaked and mad as a wet cat, she let me know in no uncertain terms that this was not a welcome wake-up call. Once she awoke, she enjoyed the ride, but it will take awhile to teach her to sit down in the boat, as she really wants to stand up to see better. We realized that we had not brought her a change of clothes, and so I put her in M's socks and spare t-shirt, which lacked in fit and style, but had the principal advantage of being dry. Anyway, the great outdoor adventures continue!
V organizes her books
Miz V decided to take all her books out of her book basket and arrange them on the table for deeper consideration. There have been a few reading leaps lately - she's started to bring books as requests, and to demand the same book be read three or four times consecutively.
