Finding a fairy home

Great adventures always seem to have a magical quality about them. Our second stop was a little south of Montreal, to visit the Fitzgibbon family. They are some of the most wonderful people that I have had the privilege of knowing. We met in Cold Lake, when our eldest children were still little. Together with a few other awesome friends, we had weekly get togethers where we explored the provincial park, local playgrounds and trails, each other’s back yards and Sandi’s farm. We seldom went more than a few days without seeing each other. When it came time to say good bye and move back home, it was leaving that group of friends that finally brought me to tears. Seeing the Fitzgibbon’s last year was just as it had been a year prior, it was as if only a few days had past. Somehow, another year has passed and the children have grown taller, but still came together, played and fought in the same way that they did as toddlers and preschoolers. We enjoyed a delicious meal together, which included shrimp that Megan cooked to start our east coast trip off on the right foot. While the adults were catching up, the children found a little magic to add to their play in the form of fairy homes and fairies to play with in the shade of a mulberry tree. Who would have guessed that we would be able to cross that one off of the bucket list on a short visit to see friends?
