I declared an adventure day. Told the kids they had 20 minutes to get to the car. We started by Lili driving the car out of the gate. Then to drop salad at Gramma and Grampa's. Drove the back way to the farm market for a hot dog lunch. Then to Chemainus to a swap and shop. Where we found a really cool habitrail cage. Jia made a wish for a pet. So we bought the cage. Also a giant calculator that hangs on a wall. For $2. Fun stuff. We went to see if the witch was in at Hansel and Gretals candy shop. She was in! Everyone was thrilled about that. We got to walk around an antique store and the littles were great in the stores. I had hoped to do a wee hike or hit a play ground but it was starting to drizzle so we headed back to town and hit the pet store. Jia was certain she wanted a hamster. Right up until we saw baby mice. There was a LOT of debating. I was worried the boys would be jealous. They weren't. We got two mice one for me and one for Jia. Ruby and Zacora (subject to change). On the way home we stopped and got lemonade at a kids stand. Always cute. Then at home all three girls wanted a turn driving in the driveway. Eric was willing to let the boys try but they were unaware that anything was up and were watching TV.
We're home now. It was a short adventure day. The mice are settled into their new home. They're tired. They both found their water. We're attempting to leave them alone for a little bit. Soooooo cute. Jia has declared this the best day ever.
