we biked to a splashpad this morning, only to find it hasn't been built yet (we kept going and had a great afternoon at a friends house instead).
we rushed halfway across the city to a particular store, only to find it had closed early on account of the long weekend (we spent the next hour or so watching ducks, canada geese and ringed gulls (aka sh*thawks) fight for breadcrumbs in a river in a nice park).
we packed the camera and pulled it out on the riverbank, only to find I forgot to put the memory card back in.
we drove to Dow's Lake to have supper and watch the mini flotilla of illuminated RC boats, only to wait another 1.5hrs to find out it was going to be another hour before they started (we returned home instead).
we then got everything ready (and little one to bed early) to drive to my office to watch the fireworks, only to find out they had started half an hour earlier (thankfully I thought of confirming the time before leaving the house).
on the bright side, summer is finally here! amazing how a little blue sky can go a long way at helping you get over such (admittedly minor) disappointments. :)
