Justin is 4 and his few times skating last year were mostly fall downs. Last weekend I had a stick in his hands for a fe minutes and was surprised at how well he seemed to actually stick handle, be aware of the ball and shoot. So yesterday I went out and bought us a couple of sticks and headed across the street… it’s amazing to start to remember playing as a kid in Parry Sound. It was so much fun… and thanks to Justin I just found out it still is fun…

With Thanksgiving Weekend still giving… on the Monday we headed out with cameras in hand and picked up a seasons pass for the Toronto Zoo. We visited a few animal areas with a goal to try out the new cameras and also to find a nice shooting area for the kids/family shot.

After shooting some photos off with various animals we found a great spot to let the kids play in the leaves. Dad joined in and we got some beautiful photos here. Later on we used the self-timer and took a few of the whole family and then we found another spot for the kids to play and the parents to fire away the digital toys.

With weather like summer… the kids were able to hang out with their friends outside in shorts. Then we followed that up with our Thanksgiving Dinner outside under our gazebo.

Then I was able to catch Justin and Erika singing along

with the rock speakers in the garden out back.
