We had a great first night of hanging out - mostly just me and Rowan as Morgan had been awake since 9:30 the night before - he crashed before 8pm and then got up before 5am. In fact, I made pizza for dinner and Morgan was out before his was out of the oven. Rowan and I sat and chatted and watched a few movies, it was good fun and glad to have them here.
Sunday morning was a Long Slow Distance day with my group so I was off by 8 in the morning to run a 15km distance with them. Talk about a great turnout for the Civic Holiday Weekend - including people that join us on Sundays there were about 15 runners which was awesome to see. We ran a route through the Lorne Park Road area and then down through the Rattray Marsh following the Waterfront Trail back to the Running Room. The area through the Rattray is always so peaceful and refreshing - keep your eyes open as Greg even saw a deer. Sure makes for a great place to run.
After a late breakfast and post-run clean up it was time to do some shopping - Rowan had her needs and wants. She needed a new pair of running shoes for school which is fast approaching, so just what every little girl needs, a pair of Saucony Kinvara 4's! So jealous - they're fast shoes!
And then it was time to cover off the wants. For a while now she has been wanting to get an iPod, so we went shopping. She has done a great job saving money and was only a little short. We picked up a 5th generation one at Future Shop and I chipped in as an early birthday present. We got it home and she was having a lot of fun when we finally noticed that there is only one camera on it - you can only take pictures facing you!
Today we took it back and replaced it with a new 16G 4th generation just like her brother Morgan's. She loves it and I have been getting quite a number of texts. She even (with a little help setting it up) was texting with Kaitlin in New Zealand.
Sure is good to have them here. Going to be a great stay-cation!
