It was a bank holiday yesterday and, having spent most of the weekend indoors because Flora had been poorly, we were really looking forward to a day out in Canmore where we had planned to go for a walk, go to the swimming pool and then out for some lunch. She had severe diarrhea on Saturday night, so much that I was cleaning it up still a day later and I am still washing bedding today. She seemed perky enough so we spent the morning getting all our stuff together and set off. On the highway, about half way to Canmore, we noticed she looked rather pale. Moments later she puked all over herself. We looped back home, telling ourselves it had been nice to get out for a drive, sitting in a car reeking of vomit. Poor Flora was so disappointed not to go swimming. We got home, Flora seemed better and the sun was beautiful and the birds were singing so we made another attempt for a family day. After a quick bite to eat at Dairy Queen (so long nice cafes of Canmore...) we had a nice walk. Okay, not really. The cold wind picked up as soon as we finished so we headed to Wal-Mart and walked around there, then tried for a treat in Starbucks, which was full. We were forced to the Safeway Starbucks where we sat, watching the plebs do their grocery shopping. Amazing.
As crazy as that day was, what a beautiful family I got to share it with.
