Did you know...that's recreation too!

Chasing your dog down the street in your pajamas after she ripped the leash from your hand!
Watching birds argue in trees over the ninja squirrels moving into their park.
Hiding in your backyard under a tree to read a book.
Taking a cold plunge while whale watching at Finkle Shores park... PS Let us know if you see any - they are shy!
Getting caught in the rain and slipping in mud while looking for Parrots in the Bay… PS They will come to you if you squawk loud enough - guard your crackers!
