Canada Day!

Mariecke and I took a short trip to the Canada Day "Block Party" on the Green. We visited Larissa who was working, and had a picnic lunch. After, we took the kids to the carnival rides and had some coton candy and ice cream. 3 hours was enough for us and the kids - although they didn't think so ;)

Gotta have sunscreen!

Busy! Busy!

Well - I was hoping to update this earlier! We are back in the house...2 weeks now I think. We are so happy to be back in - and there are only a few things left to take care of. With summer upon us we are busy getting reinstalled, and putting effort into the garden and yard.

I tried to carve out some time to take some photos in the yard the other day..I had about 20 min. before the rain started to fall. I was able to get this photo with my franken-camera With an adaptor I was able to put an old (40 years old?) Nikon lens on my Canon digital camera. I chose to do this to get a Macro lens on the cheap!

The old play structure is not doing so well - I promised the kids I would make a bigger and better one. The lumber will be delivered on Tuesday. On Saturday, the kids (mainly Hope) and I deconstructed the old one.

We have been missing our friends - it was amazing how cut off we were just being in an apartment on the other side of the river! Well we started to fix that by having Mariecke and Randall and the kids over on Sunday for a BBQ. Mariecke arrived in the afternoon, and Randall came after work.

Doing a little photo sorting

Found a couple nice photos from our trip to King's Landing during the Maple Sugar Festival.

Taken with Ilford FP4+ b/w film on my Canon Elan 7N.
