Today we found ourselves in the middle of "The Main Event," a neighbourhood-wide yard sale with a party tacked on at the end. The annual neighborhood yard sale concept seems to be big in Ottawa. A few weeks ago the Glebe hosted one, and I've seen signs for others. Yard sales really aren't my thing, but it was fun to walk around today and chat with the people trying to pawn off their old junk on others (see, I told you yard sales aren't my thing). The party was a good time because there was a team of giant horses and free wagon rides. Given Henry's current obsession with all things farm, the wagon ride was a big hit. We went twice, and watched the horses trot by our house several times after that.
In the meantime, we're getting ready for our big trip to France! Yes, Henry is coming with. We have no idea what to expect in traveling to a foreign country with a two year-old, but we do have a general sense of what Henry can so tolerate in a day, so we're setting our expectations low when it comes to sightseeing. I do have high expectations for wine and cheese consumption, however, since even in the worst-case toddler scenario we can still enjoy those goodies in the hotel room. Anything else we do is a bonus, as far as I'm concerned. I won't be blogging while we're away, but I'll post a full report when we get back.
Oh yes--Henry's eyes. The blood's cleared up and they look good. Definitely a huge improvement. I'm trying to get a good picture to post of the "after", but it's hard to catch him standing still these days!
