Tlellagraph: Understanding in the age of emoticon

Our Thanksgiving weekend wasn't long enough, so we kept the kids home from school on Tuesday. Our Thanksgiving mission was to watch all the Star Wars movies in succession and we still had two to watch. But it was also a beautiful day, so we decided to go on a family bike ride to the Crow's Nest between movies. It was one of those Tlell family moments where you feel like you're doing it right, a moment you want to post on Facebook just to share the beauty and your inherent wonderfulness ;)
