Today we celebrated 2 birthdays. Canada’s and Melissa’s. Though there was some wrinkles in our day, the kids had a great time at Mississauga Canada’s Festivities. What shocked me when I sat down to choose a picture of the day was how few pictures I took. Though I have to say I really love these three of Violet Hula Hooping.
Today we have a picture of the card Violet coloured for her Grampa who’s not doing very well right now. We’re all hoping he will get better soon.
With all the different family activities it can be hard to find the time to head down to the Rogers Centre to catch a ballgame. Tonight I managed to find the time, So when they handed out ponchos to support Josh Donaldson (@BringerOfRain20) starting the All Star Game I knew what my picture of the day had to be. Of course it would have been better if they won.
Well the summer 3 on 3 season continues. Today I have a picture of Violet as she worked on her drills.
Tonight with the kids away Melissa and I curled up and watched some soccer. It was a disappointing with Canada falling 2-1 to England in the Quarter Finials, but still fun evening with the women I love.
I know that summer officially started last week, but today there were to little events that really marked the beginning of summer for our little family. The first was the kids had now school. Today was their first day of Summer vacation. The second was the local outdoor pool opened for the first time of the year. I’m happy to say we were there to enjoy the first family swim of the year, it seems to be becoming a tradition (POD: Going for a Ride with Jacob)
Today the kids headed off to their last day of school. They kids were both excited and sad to say good-by to another school year. Of course it was our last year with having a kindergartener, int the fall Violet will be in grade 1. Jacob will be in grade 4 and will probably have a teacher who will give him home work. Of course before any of that we have a long summer of fun and adventures.
For Fathers day I got a set of four beer glasses. So tonight I enjoyed a brew and captured today’s picture of the day. I love the glasses, they remind me of my old Upper Canada Brewery Beer wisdom Glasses. In case you can’t read it the glass says, ‘A fine Beer may be judged by one sip, but it’s better to be thoroughly sure.’ Some good advice there.
Today while dropping the kids off at school I captured today’s picture of the day. It seems that wearing 3D Glasses without Lenses is a the range in Violet’s class.
Today was Jacob’s soccer night, and as I sat in the rain watching him I realized how proud I am. He goes out every game and tries hard. He really seems to like soccer, even with the other team kids him in the knee while going for the ball.
