Aylmer Express "MoHo" Extravaganza 2006

As if my arms were not sore enough already, we now had to wax the MoHo. Luckily the rain held off, as it was forecast for today. This bad boy MoHo is so big we actually used an entire bottle of wax and we still weren’t finished! That is crazy! The MoHo may not seem that big on the inside but man it sure seems big on the outside. Chantal and I got it all finished by dinner time and at that point I thought my arm was going to fall off. On a more positive note, while we were busy buffing the big boxy bastard (oops, I think in my zest to complete my alliteration, I just lost my PG rating on the blog), we spotted some kids playing hockey at the end of the street. I can honestly say that this is something we have not seen even once during the whole trip so it was a pleasant surprise. This meant that Morgan and A-P could head outside for some fun with some other kids for a change. One thing we had not factored in when we left was the fact that our kids may not be able to meet people as easily as Chantal and I. That’s because other than July and August, you tend not to see very many children when you are MoHo-ing. They have all returned to school. It is still easy to meet adults but the little people are few and far between. So the kids jumped at the chance to grab a hockey stick and debouched from the house to join the locals in an impromptu game of road hockey. They ended up having a great time. One of the neighbourhood kids looked pretty good. Morgan told us he was playing at the AAA level in the local hockey system. I was surprised someone from Raleigh would be such an avid hockey fan. Then we heard him talk and there was no trace of a southern accent. Aha! Another “northern transplant” in the neighbourhood. And right after they had gotten rid of us. Anyway, tonight was another movie night while we let our arms recover from the trama of the last two days. Fortunately “Click” turned out to be better than last night’s entertainment.
