Add two girls, shake vigorously

This morning my dad and I packed up the motorhome and moved to a new site. We got a great site the first couple days, but it was reserved for the weekend, so we took a less ideal, but still rather nice site. Traded the crazy squirrels for crows, a poor exchange in my opinion.

As if on cue my mom arrived just as we started unpacking at the new site, and Lori arrived a bit later, bringing our tent. Lori and I will be tenting across the road from my parents’ motorhome in Bow Valley Campground.

My mom isn’t as aggressive a hiker, and we tend to stop to admire nature a little more, so it will be a nice change from the previous hike, which was a bit more then I’d have planned for a first hike of the year for someone as out of shape as myself, but it was a ton of fun.

Night of the living dead

The time is 11:52pm, do you know where your children are?

In my parents’ case, at least one is standing in line at Walmart. Yay. Not nearly as busy as it might have been earlier today, but still busy — To Walmart’s credit, they’ve managed to borrow enough people from the seventh circle of hell to keep the checkouts open (sixth circle of hell, as it turns out)

Traditionally Walmart was only open 24 hours a day around Christmas, but it sounds like some locations are going 24/7 permanently… I’m not sure if that’s good or bad, or just a sign of a lot of damned people getting jobs at Walmart these days.
