| It's been weeks in the planning but I think it went along quite nicely. I went out for a nice outing last Saturday with SkyRyd3r out in Unionville and Markham. I don't think the weather could have been any better. Stryker and Sparrow were going to come along but they weren't feeling very well.
The first stop was a lap around Toogood pond. It was a fairly long lap around the pond, walking on gravel and wooden bridges. SkyRyd3r took video and pictures at various spots around the pond. There were lots of geese, ducks and seagulls too which made me wish that I brought along some bread crumbs for them. Though they were no fun anyways. Every time I'd slowly approach them, but they would just waddle away into the pond.
After walking around Toogood pond, I got out of suit and we had lunch at a very nice pub. SkyRyd3r had a BLT and I had a California Club. We talked about various things such as the cons, though issues with getting his own partial for MFF were bothering him. Once we finished our lunch we headed to the Old Fire Hall Confectionery. We were going to see about getting some ice cream there, though we were still pretty full from our lunch. Instead we spotted Webkinz and Neopets there. I bought a Scorchio and SkyRyd3r bought a Shoyru. Both came with a candy stick that was tied to their necks.
Once we were done there, we made way to two small yet very nice parks. Once again I suit up to have some fun. They both had playscapes there that were designed for smaller kids but that deter a dragon away. Getting onto it a bit of a challenge but I managed to make it. I headed over to a plastic slide which had two lanes to slide down on. Unfortunately when I tried to seat myself down onto the slide I found that the lane was a little too tight for me. So no sliding down for me. As with any playscape there's always a good way to get off even if it's not the best way. I managed to get down the ladder where the monkey bar joined up with the playscape. Having done that we made way to another park which was accessible by a fairly long trail. It took a while but we made it there. Since it was a bit of a trek I took a little break and then it was off to the playscape. It was similar to the other one that I was on. Getting off was no problem. I went down the spiral slid which was big enough for me to go on. After that it was time for a bit of a break.
After the break we headed back to SkyRyd3r's place for some refreshments. His mother made some cookies for us which was very nice. Love Pillsbury cookies. We talked about furry stuff and other things. Soon I had to head off. Other than that the outing was pretty good. It was good to get out in suit again, though it would have been more fun if Stryker and Sparrow came along. Hopefully it'll be time to go out for another outing. Since I haven't worn the suit I need to get used to wearing it again. - Mood:accomplished
