Vacation time

I realize that it has been quite a few days since I've updated this blog. You'll have to forgive me since I've been hanging out in BC on vacation and with the limited supply (okay..rather substantial amount) of food, breakfasts have just not been able to be as strange as they usually are. Typically, breakfast consists of a blueberry bagel or a blueberry muffin or some toast (...with blueberries?). I'm still eating my usual yogurt and granola. However, I HAVE switched from Greek yogurt to Activia for the trip. Maddie would have eaten leftover rice for yesterday morning if she had been able to see directly in front of her at eye level in the fridge to find the soy sauce.

Selective blindness. She's got it.

Also. Not exactly sure why we were keeping the soy sauce in the fridge. 

We bought potatoes yesterday so there's a 78% chance that Kristen will be eating those for breakfast today. (And yes, that stat IS scientifically accurate.)

In other news, it has been nice to get away and enjoy some time in the mountains. I've been spending my time chasing squirrels with bear mace, holding cannonball competitions in the pool, actually getting some sort of a tan, and keeping my distance from overly aggressive deer. Wait, what? Yeah, that's a thing. Even though my parents make me take bear mace when I go running on the trails, a bear is not what I'm worried about having to use it on... A new environment doesn't change the fact that strange things keep happening to our family. It's just different now. In fact, we just received a text from my sister that said, "The ceiling is leaking." ....Cue the chaos. 

 After a couple days of nothing but epic pooling/tanning, we're gonna try something different today. Beach volleyball, wall climbing, Euro bungee anyone? Maybe we'll just feed gophers. Rodents need breakfast too! Nobody has been picking them up this year as has happened in past years. However, one has already bitten Maddie, presumably because her finger looks like food, and another one has nibbled mother's toe. Why? Not quite sure, since it had to jump up to reach it as she dangled her foot off of a pool chair. Mmmm...toe jam.

Dad just grabbed some granola right out of the bag to munch on before finishing off with a handful of chocolate covered raisins. Not sure what else he ate for breakfast but since it's still not quite 10 AM, I'm including that in the breakfast blog.

The coffee has kicked in. I'm off to find a deer to fight.
