Just Another One of Those Image/Family/Event Updates
I was sorting through some old photo files and came across some pictures of our camping trip last summer. At the rate the boys are growing, we’ll probably only have one or two of these outings left. So the pictures took on a bit more importance. So here we are at Kilbear Provincial Park (well, some of us, Helen is very good at ducking the camera):
Simon, of course, is attempting to use his PSP to ignite the campfire. He is about to discover that while contemporary leisure electronics are truly ingenious…they do have some limitations.
There! He’s given up. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Kal is keeping watch over the campsite.
Unlike our home in Mimico, Kilbear Park is not plagued with the aliens, triffids and postal workers that Kal has to repel several times every day. Kilbear does however, have…BEARS!
From the stains around his mouth you can tell that Kal has just eaten one of those luckless bears.
Evan is in the process of a major scientific project…
…he was angling for this birthday present for months…
Yup! A telescope! It’s a bit early in the day but later in the evening we got some really spectacular views of the lunar surface.
This is Chloe at the dog beach.
She was quite the aquatic puppy — when she hit the water she was half fish, half-jack rabbit, skipping along the surface of the water like a spinning stone.
Chloe was still quite young on that trip…
…so she was not quite the formidable anti-bear security system that Kal was.
However, she did seem to manage on her stealth-puppy charms!
Well, that’s it for now folks.
