Another day working from home with the kids, with an unexpected trip into my office. While on the way back I capture this picture of the kids, resting after climbing up a long flight of stairs.

Today was a work from home day, which allowed the family to head out to th 5pm family swim at the local out-door pool. I captured today’s picture of the day as we were heading out. It seems strange that it might be the last time the family heads down there for a swim till next summer.
POD: 48 Days

Today we have a picture of me after my evening run. I chose this for my picture of the day, because in 7 short weeks (48 Days) I plan on running a half marathon. I’ve planed to run it all summer, but I haven’t been training like I intend to do better than the 2 hours, 12 minutes and 55 seconds I did last year. So tonight I stop procrastinating and start my serious training. No more missed runs. I’m still working out how I want to break up my runs, but for this week my goal is to run 35+ kms (3 nights of 8km and a 12+km run Sunday morning). Next week I hope to push that up to 40km.

We spent the morning relaxing before heading back to the city and they convinced me that I wanted to go for a ride on the 4 wheeler. I figured since the kids went last night I should see what a ll the fuss was about.

Today our little family headed out for our annual trip to the Ex. It was looking like we wouldn’t be able to make. With our weekends booked for the rest of the summer. But this afternoon the stars aligned and we headed out to have a family day at the fair. Even though we didn’t go down till the afternoon, it was long day, and I find myself not up to sorting through the 300+ pictures to do a real post. So here is one of the last pictures we took tonight, of Violet and Jacob enjoying their final snack of the day, under the glow of the fairs wheel lights.

This morning the family walked over to the Mastercard Centre for Hockey Excellence for Jacob’s Hockey camp. I captured this picture of Jacob and violet walking together, before heading off to work for the day. I can’t believe tomorrow is the last day of camp. I wonder when the hockey season starts in the fall?

Today we have a picture of our newest family pet. A Betta fish the kids won as part of the centre piece at the wedding on Saturday. They were very excited to bring home the little fish. We let the kids choose the name and it was Violet who came up with Rapunzel. They were even more excited when they came back from a shopping trip with Nana and Papa with our little aquarium and fish food.

Today we have a little blurry picture. That’s because it’s taken from a video I shot this morning of Jacob at Hockey camp.

Today Jacob started his week of hockey camp at the Mastercard Centre for Hockey Excellence. It includes an hour of skating, then some other camp activities. I’m happy to say he really enjoyed it, and has even asked about going for a full day next summer.
