I settle down on the soft green grass balancing my chocolate banana ice cream in my left hand.
Mmm, it's good!
"There's no chair Mom!" Jayden comes up behind me sucking on his Popsicle.
"You don't need one Jay. Just sit on the grass."
"Okay." He plops down beside me and then leans over to take a giant bite out of my ice cream.
"Hey! That's mine."
"I like yours Mom," he says grinning around a mouthful of chocolate and banana.
"Alright then." Leaning back, I look up at the smiling sun. It's so warm and beautiful. It's hard to believe it's already our last day in Canada. The past five weeks have flown by!
After a busy morning of laundry, packing, vacuuming, dusting and wiping I finally have a few minutes just to sit and relax. Relax and reflect.
I close my eyes as the sun warms my face. Memories of the last few weeks run through my mind.
Special times with family and friends,
Camping in Oroville,
Our trip to Alberta
Visiting family there and sharing our work with MAF in a presentation,
Photographing wildlife and plant life,
Hiking rocky cliffs and glaciers
Boating on Moraine Lake,
Then back in Chilliwack saying goodbye again.
Can it really have been five weeks?
June 23 - July 28. Yup, five weeks exactly.
My thoughts drift to the week ahead and I smile in anticipation. For an easier transition and a chance to grocery shop and simply relax we'll spend the next days in Florida and Nassua. It will be a nice break before going home to Haiti.
Home, that's sounding pretty good too.
