A Perfect Day

Simplicity...that alone can make a perfect day. Yesterday morning I biked the girls to school with Fiona in the kid seat attached to my bike and Isabelle on her own. We took the bike roads in to town and dropped Belle by her school first. Then on to Fiona's school where she was delivered safely. My newly found friend from NM was dropping off her son at the same time so we headed out on our bikes and explored the outskirts of Oulu for a couple of hours. Berries, berries everywhere! Did some shopping for rain gear (desperately needed since today is the 5th day of rain in a row), found some corn tortillias (I've been searching for these for 4 weeks & now I can make enchiladas), and headed back into town where we had a lunch of fresh sushi at the fish market. By then it was 2:45 pm, time to head back towards Isabelle's school. So we took the scenic route of bike paths by the river and through the park where we stopped for dessert and coffee. Fiona, Isabelle and I started biking home together about 4pm and got drenched with rain, but it was no bother as we were done for the day. Lovely.
