Shoo fly, don't bother me

My sister, Simon and I braved the elements and went on a little nature walk today in search of the "rare red trillium" in the Mer Bleue bog.  You find things to do, that normally, you would have no interest in doing, when you're at home all day.  Anyone about to go on mat leave doesn't understand it.  Anyone on mat leave, totally gets it.  Ya feel me, girlfriend?  You know what's up.

So, off we go in the pouring rain, trying to avoid serial killers and dangerous wildlife, in search of a potentially fictitious flower, and, nothing.  All we had to show for our troubles was mosquito bites, mascara meltdown and a soaker.  Ah well... better than staying at home, I suppose!

Simon was spared from bug bites because of this nifty little thing that snapped over his stroller by Jolly Jumper:  http://www.amazon.ca/Jolly-Jumper-Insect-Strollers-Bassinets/dp/B002FIQ7I4

Easy to use, compact, and runs about $8.  Worthwhile investment.
