Summer of 2008

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Later in the summer of last year, we bought a small fishing boat and spent some time in it. We never caught any fish with it though and this year we hardly used it because it just didn’t seem to work with our trips.

Right after we got it, we took it for a spin on our pond :-)

I guess fatherhood got so good that I didn’t have time for writing in a blog during the last 18 months! This is certainly unfortunate, because I probably failed to record some great experiences.

Here are just a couple of experiences from the Spring of 2008 that I didn’t write about:

Colin shot a bullseye on the archery range at cub scout camp.

I don't know why I wore my uniform home. I must have been running late and wanted to come straight home without taking the time to change. When the kids saw me, you would have thought they never saw the uniform before. So we all took a picture together. They were wearing boxers because they were getting ready for bed.

We were studying botany and we called this meal the feast of the angiosperms because everything we ate came from an angiosperm.
