Yesterday we got out and enjoyed the sunshine by taking a little hike in Stanley Park. Rather than walk around the park along the seawall, we took the trails in the park leading up to Prospect Point. The trails were surprisingly deserted (when you see how packed the seawall is on a sunny day), and were cool and refreshing.
We rewarded ourselves with a great lunch of fish and chips at the little cafe up at Prospect Point. Holly is really enjoying dining out, as long as she held up at peoples level and is given her food too.
Walking back along Merilees trail that skirts past a large area that had been severely damaged in 2006's windstorm, we saw tons of gorgeous magenta flowers (foxgloves, I've been told), ferns and small seedlings that would not have been there except for the now canopy-less landscape.
And with so many flowers came so much beautiful fragrance and many gorgeous bees! Holly was a darling the whole way, either sleeping in her stroller or taking in the scenery. She certainly was the least fazed - after fours hours and 10.5 kilometres we were bushed but Holly was up for playing when we got home.
