A successful search for trees

Once upon a time there was a lady called Helen and a man called Nick and a lady called Elspeth and a man called Ewan. They lived in Montreal. They loved Montreal very much because it had bagels and poutine and frenchness. But it didn't have enough trees. So one day they went to find some more trees. They hired a blue car. Elspeth was happy because it was an automatic. It was like being in a video game.
They drove for a while. They asked for directions from a nice lady and a nice man in a car park. They had a minor detour along a windy lane with colourful pretty houses. They wondered what happened to the people living in them when it snowed.

After a pretty drive listening to nice music they found some trees. They were big trees. There were lots. They walked up a hill of trees to look at the trees.
Some trees wanted to be dinosaurs.They saw some chipmunks. And red squirrels. And deer. And a smiley moose. (Well they thought they did, but it might have been Nick pretending, so here is a picture of what they thought they might possibly potentially have seen. It probably was a moose.)
When they reached the top of the hill, they could see LOTS of trees. It was beautiful. Then they had a picnic. They ate lots and were happy.
Then they walked down the hill and saw a stream and a waterfall.
Nick said it was cold. Then he jumped in. Then Ewan jumped in. Then Helen jumped in. Then Elspeth jumped in. They all said it was cold. Then they jumped back out and ran down the hill to get warm again. At the bottom of the hill was a lake. It was beautiful. It was very quiet. Then they saw a bear. Elspeth threw a leftover chocolate brownie at it. Nick pretended to be a moose. Helen and Ewan did an interpretive dance at it so it went away.

Then they drove to Timmy Horton's for a hot chocolate and an apple and cinnamon loaf. Then they drove home. Well, they would have driven home if it was their car. Instead, they drove round and round the one way system after battling with a petrol pump, before finally managing to put the car back where they found it. It was a good day.
