Everything from the zoo to the hot springs seems to have got smaller.

Truly...when we were young and our children were toddlers..everything seemed so large,Places and spaces.For instance when we went to the Zoo for a Sunday afternoon..it seemed to take an entire afternoon to walk around with the children ....and actually we seemed to have covered so much ground..
 
 Then taking a trip out to Jasper  .in the mountains and taking the kids to the hot springs which i remember as *Miette Hot Springs*.  It seemed like a long ride and when we did get there the pool was so large.
 
 Not  only that.... we drove a Volkswagen ....Beetle.   and usually with our four kids,.. we took along my mother-in -law and Father-in-law as well ..and somehow everyone seemed to have so much room ..
   We have since been back   there ..  Just the two of us... and  nothing seems the same.   Everything from the zoo to the hot springs seems to have got smaller.
 Is that what happens when we get older?
 Well now it appears as though the newsprint is getting smaller....and our circle of friends and family  as well... having lost several in the last few years...The  Only Things that gets bigger in time~  are the beautiful memories..   that we have made .....  and  stay in our hearts  forever...
