Because of COVID 19 restrictions, the boys would not be returning
to school (online learning) until Thursday. Maman decided it would be safe for
Grandpa, Barbara and Uncle Grant (wearing masks) to come to their place for an
outdoor hike to celebrate Grant’s birthday on Tuesday. They were greeted by the family rooster. The boys said goodbye to their next-door
friends. Then, a surprise! A Purolator truck arrived (backing up their driveway)
and delivered a new hockey stick with a package of tape for Samuel. Papa had ordered this for him. Much
excitement! Sam went inside for some scissors and soon had his package opened with
some help from David. A big smile from
Sam. Maman showed us a new warm hat she had knitted for Papa.
Then we were off on
our hike. We walked along the highway
with the boys taking a few jumps into the snow.
The hike was quite hilly and there was a creek to cross. David enjoyed running ahead and hiding so we
had to find him along the way. The boys were in high spirits.
After about 1 km the
trail came out near a house. Grandpa
admired the bird feeders. It also had a
unique “fox” made of railway spikes . Then we went back into the forest and hiked
over to Chemin Dunmor. David had more fun
hiding.
We walked back home
where we celebrated Grant’s birthday with Dairy Queen Buster Bars and some apple
cider.
