Spring Break!
Alas... no break from the rain. We were invited by Malcolm and Jen to join them in Tofino for a few days. I thought that any break from the city would be nice... It was very nice to get out of the city and go to the beach... but the rain just didn't let up at all. We have really had enough of the crappy, dreary, wet, weather. We spent most of the time inside this really nice condo. The company was great.
We did finally get out and brave the weather. Rya had fun regardless of her grumpy parents cursing the rain. Did I mention yet that it rained the whole time. I will eventually stop talking about the freakin rain. Notice Rya's outfit... "Daddo" picked that out. He wanted to remind us all that he intends to raise a "tomboy" who will become a world class dirt bike racer. Just in case we forgot about those plans. This is Rya's pre-race gear.
Here is Beautiful Chesterman's Beach, Tofino. The waves were huge and Malcolm got in some good surfing. We don't have any pictures of course because we didn't want to go out in the rain again. I would have loved to go surfing... In the rain it isn't that bad because you are already wet. For obvious reasons I didn't surf this time... There is also NO WAY I would be able to fit into my wet suit anyway. (I barely fit into it last summer)
Rya loved the beach. Last summer Rya was still crawling and tried many times to crawl away to sea. That was still her goal this time too. Running out to Sea is a lot quicker. We had a few arguments about the fact that she can't run out to sea. When we finally gave up chasing her and grabbing her before the waves did... she cried most of he way back to the condo. She kept on saying, "Ocean, beatipul (beautiful), kiss?" She wants to kiss everything these days. Good luck on kissing the ocean.We went home a little ealry as Rya and I were starting to get sick, and Richard was getting sick of the rain. We both got nasty coughs and runny noses. I blame the rain entirely! I will stop complaining as soon as it stops raining. Reallly I used to LOVE the rain. We are on the outs these days.
Rya and I had a nice long nap on the couch when we got home. As the Creator and Editor of this blog I chose to not add the picture that showed both Rya and I peacfully asleep on the couch. It wasn't my goodside. I was so asleep that I didn't hear or feel Richard take our pictures. You can probably imagine the deep sleep expression on my face. Not so cute. Rya... always cute... even with a cold.
