It was such a beautiful day I had to make sure that the kids had an opportunity to enjoy it. So we headed out for a but of fun at one of our local parks, and of course I couldn’t leave Ruby at home during our fun.

Tonight while trying to avoid bed Violet asked if she could have a small pad of post its I had sitting on my desk. I said sure, because as much as I plan on using them I never do. A little while later she came back with this picture of a little girl holding a bunch of balloons flying through the air.

Tonight I have a little silly picture I took during Jacob’s soccer game. I was sitting there watching Jacob cheering him on when Violet handed me her Shopkin so that she could go off and play with another little girl. The next thing I knew I had taken today’s picture of the day.

Today was a relaxed family day spent enjoying the sun shine. It was also a perfect opertunity for Violet to work on her cartwheels. All summer she has been on a mission to learn how to do a cartwheel. It’s amazing to see who she continues to improve.

Tonight after the house had gone to bed I was sitting with Ruby and relaxing, and I realized that I haven’t had a beer in all of my father’s day beer glasses. As luck would have it I had a beer sitting in the fridge waiting for me to enjoy.

Tonight I had an appointment at the Microsoft Answer Bar for some warranty service. The service was excellent as always, and Jacob seemed happy to spend the appointment entertaining himself on the different computers and XBox around the store. He can’t wait till he goes for Microsoft Camp in a couple of weeks.

This evening after Soccer practice we found some time to spend with the “Contemplating Child”. Violet really loved climbing all over the statue. Her Nana wasn’t as big of a fan of her climbing.

Today we have a picture of Ruby I took at the park with Ruby. We’re playing tug-a-war with her plastic through toy. Usually I don’t play like that with her toys but this ones on its last legs.

So far this summer day camp has been a disappointment for our eldest. Though today when he came home he was excited about the Master Chief challenged they had today. As part of it he made a ‘pizza pocket’. It looks taste, but the chocolate, cheese and strawberry seems a little odd.

Well After using that great picture of Violet on a breakaway yesterday I thought today I should use this one of Jacob at Soccer tonight. His team was short of players today, so they had no subs. Even with a tied squad they won the match 7-4.
