What a tech miracle, finding that phone! So funny that the finders (sketchy vocabulary!) were actually from Montreal! Josh's recounting of the discovery tour had me LOLing all the way. Kids are doing better, that's great! Great photographic descriptions too. Enjoy!!

Wait. Didn't Josh lose his credit cards too? Maybe I missed a turn of this plot what with all the coming and going.

One day the kids will look back on this as a great experience! Good life skills and learning about resiliency!

It reads as hilarious, but I imagine at the time the meltdowns were not that fun.

We took our son on a number of bicycle adventures from the age of about 7. He loves recounting the stories but as an adult now, he swears never to get on a bike with us again. It can go either way 😂. You’re doing a great job

Brave grandparents! I guess some days are better than others. And every cycling experience is going to be a unique one. We have taken teenage grands on trips, not bicycle tours though, and have some insight into the highs and lows. They don't even remember their little rebellions any more.

La clé : photosynthèse. Les végétaux en bordure poussent moins car ils reçoivent suffisamment de lumière que ceux situé au milieu du champ qui s'élève à la recherche de la lumière..

Yvon, un ami cycliste retraité ONF (Office National des Forêts) , nous précise sa réponse et nous parle du phototropisme, capacité qu'on les plantes à s'orienté vers la lumière parce l'auxine, hormone de croissance se concentre dans la partie de la plante la plus ensoleillée, sa partie apicale, le somment de la plante

L'auxine, une hormone végétale, est un de ces signaux et contrôle notamment quand et où la plante produit de nouvelles feuilles et fleurs. Les feuilles et les fleurs sont formées l'une après l'autre à l'extrémité des tiges en croissance par un petit groupe de cellules appelé méristème apical caulinaire.

I am reading today’s entry out loud to Joni and we both had a full on belly laugh about the fucking gummy bears. Memories of the inadequate Salisbury steak meals on bike rides between Jasper and Banff!

The tears somewhat mirrored the rain. Tomorrow is supposed to be dry, and hopefully less drama will ensue.
