Winnipeg Airport

A nice shot of the hooligans we love to call Family! Miss you all.




A few shots with the send off crew who made it to the airport, we had some fun before jumping on our first plane to Montreal. Spirits were high and emotions were flowing, we had no idea what was coming and how the kids would take the long flights ahead - actually how we would take the flights ahead!

Last weekend at the Cabin

Great times came and passed; we had a huge fire and yelled at the stars for one of the last times in a while from this side of the earth. The pit smoked for 3 days despite Brandy's delightful hosing!

We came home and focused on getting packed and ready for our upcoming adventure to Chennai, India - thanks everyone for all your help!

Pics and stories from Chennai coming soon.


Love Dave 

Nice Snakes

Gage and Emerson helped catch a few garders, 3 in the cage and there were more who escaped our evil grasp.




This was the biggest, saying hello to the camera.




Funny hair in the wind, Emerson loves to climb everything.


Well these snakes have seen better days compared to these pictures, we left them in the cage (GASP) all week and with all of the rain they managed to swell up beyond the point of no return.

We had a stinky snake oil slick in the backyard that will make a nice snack to any of the local racoons!


Peace

Feel the burn

Dumb ass - should sunscreen cover the whole back? Feeling the burn still on Tuesday from a very hot and sunny Saturday at the lake.

On a good note I did get a sh*tload of wood cut for our send off burn, I am hoping to have a cord or 1 1/2 cord fire before we leave. See you there!

Big Rock

Kap-Ki-Gi-Wan in the North of Ontario - nice place to play.

Ultra Cool

My boy Gage chillin with Speedy on a casual Thursday night. Speedy was not up to his usual hyper wiggling and he was ultra cool just hanging out on G's shoulder - he is as long as my arm from elbow to finger tips!!

Take it easy all you cowboys out there.

Birthday Celebration

Happy days are here again - Gage and Emerson take a breath before blowing out another trip around the sun.

Gage - 8 1/2

Pass the spoon!!

The Big Day

A Very Happy Wedding - The Ottawa weekend went off without a hitch and aside from the scarred hotel staff we all had a fantastic time.

Word of the night: D'Arrrgh
Scream if you see another: Bubble
Best Moment: Look of love in Wiz's eyes as she gazed into Marks at the end of their 'first' kiss
Longest Moment: Mark waiting for his bride to be to show up (felt like an eternity?)
Worst Moment: Nausia approching critical the morning after in the revolving restaurant (great food though!)

Thanks Sista for a great time!! Love your house and it will be beautiful when done. D'Arrgh!

-Brother Dave 

Happy Campers

Kids are a blast - they can make a bad day go far away in a blink.

Next time you are feeling the pressure go bounce on a trampoline in your birthday suit, you'll see what I mean! Gage and Emerson havin some fun in the backyard.

-Dave

Got Wood?

Aaahhh the aquisition of rocks and wood really does feel good...here's to all those years of carbon sequestration going up in smoke.

Dave

Stoned

The stone is up - not bad for the first time, I think I will start a company called Dr Rock and begin my masonry hobby.

I love when things turn out, also just fixed at the Lee River Ratz Club:
Hot tub heater pump
Hot Water tank elements

Oddly enough, about the same period of time my Hot Water tank at home exploded - must have been a sign! Now that everything is fixed I am ready to bless my sister for her wedding this long weekend (could have picked a regular weekend!!) (kidding) at least I will drink some rums and piss on some Ottawa grass for a change.

Happy camping
Dave 

Where was Tiger?

Well as you know I enjoy golfing, and the Masters was on this weekend. I told Emerson that Tiger was on TV, she looked and saw a dark man hitting the long ball ... I think she was thinking about something that looks more orange and hangs out with the likes of pooh bear.
I am looking foward to the great weather and working in the yard, along with that comes divots and yelling fore as I once again quest to break that mysterious number called 80.
See you at the 19th hole.
Dave
