POD: Portal Hunting

image
For the last few weeks I’ve played a game Ingres on my phone. I like the merging of digital and real world  of the game. Of course this means that when I’m out walking I often go an extra block here and there to ‘Hack’ a portal. The kids aren’t really fans of this, often groaning when I insist we walk past the local library so I can check on my portal. The real winner is Ruby, our evening walks have grown longer as I get more into the game. Tonight we went all over the neighbourhood as I tried to capture 3 portals and establish a Control Field.

POD: Playing with Ruby

Today we spend the morning running around doing errands and the afternoon at the local park for what was supposed to be a water war. We did have a war, but the kids were quickly distracted by other kids and spent the time playing while the old folks relaxed on the grass. Between the excitement we found time to take Ruby to the dog park. We were the only ones there, but Ruby still had fun chasing her disc and playing with Violet.

POD: Camp Certificate

Today we have a picture of Jacobs camp certificate.  The entire camp was a bit of a surprise. We were just browsing the Microsoft store at Square One when Jacob came running up asking if he could join the camp. Next thing we know he has 2 hours of Microsoft camp for a few days. He loved it, the only disappointing thing is that we didn’t a copy of the movie he created, the service they used to share it was down when his class was wrapping up. I called to see if they could email it to me but the weren’t sure if it was still on the computer he used. I’m still hoping to get it, if I do I’ll share it here.
