The Rom and so many other days

We had a quiet morning, set out far too late in the afternoon, had crazy subway/bus adventures, spent an hour and a half at the ROM, had dinner at Fran's on college and well, it was just a fun day spending time together as a family.

We don't have oodles of fun every day but we do have lots of fun with each other when we do things together. We saw "Treasures of a Desert Kingdom: The Royal Arts of Jodhpur India" today. It was beautiful, and interesting, kind of light. The girls enjoyed it, we all did.

After India, we went briefly to China, then briefly to Egypt, then we were done. It was a quick trip. We had dinner and then made our way back. There was a subway shut down on Line 2 - the east west line that we take, we hadn't known about it, which made traveling back and forth very long.

(Kate told me later that she was watching some poeple making out in Egypt. She said when they noticed her watching they stopped, and then she said to herself "I guess I'll go look at a dead body now." It was cute.)

It wasn't a remarkable day, nothing out of the ordinary, and I can't possibly document every day, I can't, even though secretly (or not so secretly) I want to. I love re-reading my blog posts. I love looking through the pictures, remembering the good and the bad. I love my family so much. I love my life, and I am so thankful for it. Happy Saturday!

100,000 kms

Tonight coming home from swimming lessons I looked at the odometer and realized it was almost 100,000 kms. In 2002 (I can't remember when exactly, I just know it was when Ken and I were dating) Ken and I drove around Toronto until Petunia went over 100,000 kms. It was a funny night - I can't remember exactly how far away we were, maybe 30 kms. Highway driving, 30 kms goes fast, but driving around Toronto - it took ages. It seemed like a fun idea and then it seemed like an annoying waste of time. Either way the memory makes me giggle.

So tonight we only had 8 kms to go, so we drove an extra few blocks. The girls squealed with me as we got closer and closer. It was cute and silly and fun. The girls didn't understand exactly why I was taking pictures of my odometer, or why exactly I thought this was fun, but they cheered when we got to 100,000 kms.

I love making silly little memories!
