I’m in Calgary, our usual spot for the holidays. It was a challenge getting out of Toronto on Saturday due to the big snowstorm on the 19th. But we made it with only a few hours delay.
At the airport, a grandfatherly man kept talking to the Girl, first at check-in, then in the corridor on the way to security, and then again he approached her at Swiss Chalet. At first, it seemed sweet, then quickly I got creeped out by his attention to her. In the restaurant, he came and started drawing cartoon characters on her napkin. Am I too cynical (with my fears of pedophiles lurking behind every corner) or is that not weird?
Our first day here, the Boy developed Pink Eye and got a fever. Luckily, no one else has got it – yet. I’m compulsively washing my hands to a point where they’re now bleeding.
It’s been really cold since we got here, but tomorrow is supposed to be a whopping 1 degree Celsius, so I’m psyched to head outside. It’s beautiful here, and the mountains are sparkling in the distance.
Um, that older gentleman following Girl around is definitely creepy and weird. Totally.
Hope the pink eye has resolved. It’s always hard to have the kids get sick during the holidays. Even worse when you’re travelling during the holidays.
Enjoy your time out there! And have a Happy New Year!
