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!
