New kayak

Bert got a new kayak today and went down to the river here in Stratford to test it out.
The swans kept surrounding his kayak at times with the males even giving chase once in a while.

Heidi in Switzerland

Carly thought she should adopt Heidi's hairstyle since she is now living in Switzerland.

Carly in Italy

A nice picture of me in Italy, with the red leather jacket that Isabelle said I can 'put my cigarettes in the pocket'.

Speaking of cigarettes, I had the lab safety course today (although a month too late, I have already started my first lab fire - but I digress). We were outside and before we started practicing putting out fires we were all given a smoke break. Stuff that never happens in Canada, maybe years ago but not that I've ever seen.

Jake and Max's bedroom mural

Jake and Max have a great mural on their bedroom wall!

A new foal - GINA

This is the first time for anyone (including dad) to see a foal being born! Soo neat!

It did not take long before she was up and walking around!

At least we could walk in the field with this horse and pet Gina right away!
