From Picture of the Day 2013

Today the kids went on an adventure with our friends Lisa and Jim and their two daughters. They did a few exciting things, like visiting Dundurn Castle and Glow in the Dark Miniature Golf. The kids seemed to have a great day, and I want to thank Lisa and Jim for taking them out for a fun day.  Today’s picture of the day was taken at The Hamilton Military Museum at Battery Lodge. Jacob seemed to like dressing up as a solider.

Today we had a picnic dinner. It was nice watching them Melissa and the kids running around together. I captured today’s picture of the day as we were getting ready to head home for the night.

Today we have a picture of Melissa and Jacob taking a moment to watch the clouds together. It was fun to see the two of them having some fun this afternoon.

Tonight we have another Skylander of Jacob’s. This is Fright Rider, and once again I find myself wish I knew more about it. I think tomorrow night Jacob and I will have some father some time playing Skylanders.

Tonight while we were at Toys’r’us to pick up a present, Violet wanted to look at the bikes. The first one we looked at was a Lalaloopsy and I thought for sure Violet would say she wanted it, but while I was trying to draw her attention to it she yelled out in delight ‘A Purple Bike!’ so I took a picture of her with it. Of course she doesn’t really need a new bike this summer. Hopefully they will have a purple on for her when it’s time to get her next bike.

This afternoon I headed to the big park with the kids for some fun. Jacob was running around like Spiderman with his web-shooter with its silly string and water canisters. Before we headed to the splash. It was a nice afternoon watching the kids play while I relaxed with my book.

Today we pulled out Jacob’s old hockey equipment to see how it would fit on Violet. She was so excited to try it all on. She can’t wait for next weekend when she’s going with her Papa to finalize her registration for Tyke hockey.  I can’t wait to see my little girl on the ice with all the other kids.

The vacation is over and we’re home safe and sound. I thought about a number of pictures for today’s picture of the day but this of the kids asleep in their own beds seemed sweet.

Tonight is our last night of vacation and instead of spending it in a camper at the Darien Lake Camp-grounds, we’re in a hotel in Niagara Falls New York. It’s been a great vacation. As sad as I am that it’s coming to an end it will be nice to be in my own bed tomorrow night.

Today we checked out the Darien Lake Lodge and out front was a giant bear carving.  So I got the kids to pose with it.
