HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

What a great weekend once again! The weather was great...a little warm but better than rain any day.

We started with 'soccer-baseball' on Saturday morning. The basic concept was to kick the ball instead of hit it with a bat and then run the bases like you would in baseball. The boys did great for their first time although Curtis sometimes got confused if he should be picking up the ball or running. Oh well...less likely to get out when you take the ball to home plate with you.


Then it was off to the beach to cool down. The sand pile and the noodles were super fun. The boys even got to go in the deeper water with Daddy. What a treat that was.

Spencer and Curtis hung out with the Sherren family while mom & dad finished off the flower beds. If it weren't for Gary helping Daddy digging them out we might still be there...thanks Gary! It's looking great and our tree is watching over it all.

Our friendly toad even came by to inspect the final touches. We got the 'hop of approval' when our toad went down the stairs and into the flower bed.

Saturday night we had a yummy steak dinner with the Sherren's and met some new neighbour kids - Aaron and Sasha. After playing on the quad, they joined us for our camp fire and some roasted marshmallows.

On Sunday the boys surprised Keith with pictures they had painted at school of Dad with little sayings on them.

Curtis' sayings were...

• My Dad's favourite food is ham
• My Dad works at (I'm not sure) where he helps people
• My Dad's favourite TV show is Coronation Street
• Just for fun my Dad likes to play with me
• My Dad's name is Rod (oops...wrong tag...really Daddy O/Keith)
• Not too many people know this but my Dad plays basketball (hmmm...does daddy know)
• I love my Dad because he plays soccer with me

Spencer's sayings were...

• My Dad's favourite food is cream cheese
• My Dad works at Toronto where he helps people fix computers
• My Dad's favourite TV show is the news
• Just for fun my dad likes to mow the lawn
• My Dad's name is Keith but some people call him Oliphant
• Not too many people know this by my Dad has a secret code to open the garage
• I love my Dad because he hangs out with me

We also surprised him with a fishing tool. It weighs, it measures, it scales, it does it all but catch the fish (hint hint dad...time to go fishing)!

Then it was off to baseball and Daddy came to watch. This week was a very close game...21-20 and the boys were awesome with their hitting and scoring. Way to go guys and the slushies from the store hit the spot from the big thirst that had been well earned!

Sunday afternoon we had Grandpa, Uncle Al, Aunt Becky, Matt and Aaron come for our Father's Day celebrations. Daddy and the boys took everyone on a tour of the campground and got Aunt Becky, Matt and Aaron to spend some time at the playground. We had a bbq and some good laughs. It was great to see everyone again. We will certainly have to do that again now that everyone knows their way.

We finished off by watching a hot air balloon take off from the ball diamond. We got to see it get blown up and take off. It looked like amazing fun and we tried tracking it as far as we could on the way home.

We hope you had an awesome Father's Day weekend Daddy. We sure did.

Happy Father's Day Daddy O!
