Geek With Kids

Today Canada went to the polls to elect a new Federal Government. With pictures not being allowed of ballots I’ll settle for this sign at the polling station for my picture of the day.

Today we found some time to hit the public skate at the Port Credit arena. While getting I captured this picture of the kids gear.

Today I got to spend some time with Violet  and Melissa, while out we captured this picture of Violet

Tonight we have a picture of my little ones, ready to head off to their Friday night taekwondo class. Afterwards both were thrilled to get their Blue stripe for their kicking.

Tonight after picking up Jacob’s new hockey helmet we headed out for dinner with my mom. Today’s POD is a picture I took while we waited for our food.

Today I decided to do something different for my picture of the day. Today I have taken a picture from social media. I just knew I nothing I took today captured the monumental events of the day as well as this picture from the Sportsnet Photographer Chris Young. In cause you don’t know what happened, let me explain. Today the Toronto Blue Jays won their American League Division Series in dramatic fashion. It was the most exciting game of baseball I’ve ever seen. After a crazy top of the 7th that saw the Rangers take the lead, the Jays came storming back first tying the game then taking a commanding lead off the bat of Jose Bautista; Seen in the picture of the day flipping his bat away after watching the ball leave the park.

On a day that saw our family spending the evening in a couple of hockey rinks, I thought I’d go another way with my picture of the day. Here is a picture I took of the Toronto skyline while walking Ruby tonight.

I thought the days of art coming home from school was done with Violet in Grade 1, bu I was wrong. For Thanksgiving she brought home this great Turkey Centre piece.

After a long day of skating and other fun activities, Violet spent the afternoon and early evening napping. So when it was time for bed she was wide awake. We spent some playing Minecraft together and she caught this selfie with her tablets camera.

So night I enjoyed a leaf game from the MasterCard Canada corporate box. It was all part of their #PricelessSurprise promotion. I won the tickets thanks to a simple check-in.
