Favorite Places





Chris and I have always loved to walk and hike. When I think about our years in Fredericton one of the first things that comes to mind is the parks we took the dog to, the wild places we spent hours hiking through, the nights we explored new neighbourhoods. In Calgary we enjoyed walking along the Bow River close to our house, walking through the newly fallen snow with Elias snuggled in the sling at our favorite park. Guelph is no different. I have shared many of the place we love to hike at. I do however like one more than the others simply for the memories. Soon after we moved to Guelph we started hiking at the off leash dog area with Elias, it was a weekly ritual. Then Ben joined us and the tradition continued. It was the first place Aria went out of the house to, at just two days old. We love watching the finches, the snakes, frogs, turtles, herons, deer, rabbits, ducklings, crawfish....but mostly we love being there together, enjoying the kids while they explore these things which such awesome wonder. Its one of our special places.
