Day 3

Day 3 :)  It seems alright.

Suntaculor!

Beautiful sunset tonight!

The Next Day

So its feeling a bit better today, actually the gash itself hurts a bit more than yesterday, and my bones don't hurt as much.  It appears I might have hit my other leg or pulled a muscle, because it has been hurting a bit.

Harvest Crusade & Jeremy Camp

While browsing jeremycamp.com I found this video:

In Stitches

This morning we had a great time with friends at City Park, taking photos and enjoying the heat, sunshine, lake, beach, etc.  Near the very end we were by the new monuments that have been setup celebrating the old bridge, they are made of steel, and I went to jump up on one of them, I made it, but my shoe was wet so I slid and my left leg caught the corner or a bolt, I'm not sure, I am thinking of heading back to do so CSI work to figure that out.  It hurt alot, so when I finally sat down and pulled my pant leg up to see what it looked like, I was surprised to see my leg covered in blood. 
It hurt alot!  Right down to the bone.  The Dr. and the Dr.'s assistant said that it was a "hole" and a "gash".  So the Dr. put in two stitches.

UPDATE

Check back to the Gardom Lake post and you can watch a video slideshow presentation.

Canucks Training Camp

Today was the last day of Canucks training camp in Penticton.  So I took my Dad and Sam.  We had a good time watching them do some warmups and then they played a game.
We were a bit surprised with the bodychecks being placed on fellow teammates!  But I guess they are trying to get on the roster and in a top line.
Speaking of top lines, we did not get to see:
- Roberto Luongo
- Daniel & Henrik Sedin
- Alex Burrows
- Ryan Kessler
- Alexander Edler
- Kevin Bieksa
- Manny Malholtra
And possibly others...
They actually were in the rink behind where we were sitting practicing.
It was closed door though and we could only view through the windows overlooking the ice surface.

One Day at Gardom Lake

With a week filled with trouble (Saffron's breakdown and problem with people on the swings - affecting her into hysteria & hospital & Dr.), Jen thought it would be a good idea to get away for at least a night at Gardom Lake Bible Camp.  Well it was quite good, but still...
The first night we didn't get there until later (closer to 9pm), than because of the excitement the kids were fooling around (I was tired and ready for sleep).

I didn't sleep too well (not used to the thin mattress as well as some not so pleasant dreams), than Sam woke up and he was making some noise with his legs trying to wake up the other two, I told him not to wake them up and I went to the bathroom.  Jen said that Sam climbed up and down the ladder about 6 times and banged his legs to wake up the other two!  So they were tired. 
We had a good breakfast outside.

Then we went for a walk to the beach and hopped into the canoe for a ride.

When we got back we went for a hike, had a fire and attempted to have a nap.

Steamy Sunrise

This was the reward for not sleeping the whole night because I was freezing! We were so cold (sleeping in the back of the van), that at 5:30 we turned on the van and warmed up. Then went out with Karl and enjoyed the sunrise and a 2 hour walk/hike.

Sam Jumping Over Creek

Its time to catch up on the summer...give you some video & photos of what we did over the summer.
I was surprised that Sam could jump this far, he had already made it (I think twice), so when I finally got the camera out...he made it, but...

City on our Knees

Where Can I Hide from you!

 ⁷ Where can I go from Your Spirit?
         Or where can I flee from Your presence?
 ⁸ If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
         If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
 ⁹ If I take the wings of the morning,
         And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
 ¹⁰ Even there Your hand shall lead me,
         And Your right hand shall hold me.
 ¹¹ If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”
         Even the night shall be light about me;
 ¹² Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
         But the night shines as the day; 
         The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
          (Psalm 139:7-12, New King James Version)

A song that came into my head is called "Where Can I Hide From You" by Perry & The Poor Boys

Falling

Well there are some leaves falling and the temperature is cooling down!  Especially at night!
It is a good time! :)
The photo is not working to upload...

Leaves Changing Colour

I was looking outside just a few minutes ago at the trees in our backyard and noticed that up top there were red leaves...the leaves are starting to change colour, the nights are getting cooler and we are getting closer to Autumn :)

2 Inches to the Right

I found this from Shonlock.com who is a member of the Diverse City band (TobyMac) and will actually be touring with TobyMac, so I'm not sure if that means that he is no longer with the band or will be playing with both bands (Shonlocks band is called Monsta).  But this is a neat video!

Fire

We had opened the windows and noticed a nice big wind picking up to help cool us down, I went outside and was enjoying the breeze (strong wind) it had been smoggy/smokey all day today so I noticed some blue sky from the wind...then I noticed some really black clouds moving fast.  I went upstairs and looked out and saw a glow, sure enough a large fire!

Sam's Christmas Performance

Originally posted December 18, 2009

You might be able to see Sam in the middle. He looked a little like when the priests where their black shirt with the white stripe in the middle, as he had a dark blue sweater on with a white turtle neck overtop. They were doing as a school, the Christmas Olympics (the theme). Sam’s class represented Australia. Check out the Media link for the video of him and his class singing :)

Remember that our camera screen is broken :)
