School is out...

Yesterday, Chris and Alex got out of school at noon. We celebrated the end of school by going out to McDonalds for lunch and then to FutureShop to buy a new NintendoDS for Alex and a copy of Wii MarioKart for Chris.

Today, was our first full day of summer vacation, so in addition to the requisite lounging around and playing with new toys, we went off to the library to get some new books and then I brought the kids out to Camosun Bog - just down the street - for an “expedition”.

Each of the kids brought their own camera - thought it’d be cool to see what they all thought was interesting...

Ah... it was a good father’s day.

Catherine and I had the kids sleep over at her parents’ place on Saturday night and we actually got to sleep past 7:00!!!

After I nice breakfast at Barney’s on Granville, we picked up the kids. I got lots of great kid-made cards and crafts (plus hugs / tackles), then the kids “helped” me wash the cars. ... it’s all a learning process!

Had a nice chat with Dad in the new Adirondack chairs in the backyard and then dinner at Catherine’s parents. A great day all in all!
