I finally get to sleep in every day (sorta). When the girlz wake @ 7AM, they come to me and ask to use the main computer, and for some reason I always oblige :-)
Once we finally got out the door (noonish), we went to Beckwith park to try and learn to ride two-wheels, that lasted about 15 minutes between the both of them. While staying at Beckwith, we had some snacks and played in the sandy park.
We also tried doing one of our new hobbies, GEOCACHING. Essentially it is Treasure Hunting with a GPS. To get the co-ordinates, you create and account at http://www.geocaching.com and it will show you all the caches nearby.

New videos online
As you know, school is just ending. Both of the girls had their 'celebration of learning' last week, in which the kids get a handshake from the principal and they get to pose for a photo and they get a folder of work the teacher has saved for the year.
I had the opportunity to video tape a bit of it and put the videos online for all to see, so checkout my youtube link at http://www.youtube.com/czarl for 4 videos of that and then the picnic afterwards.
I also updated my website recently with some photos, so make sure to checkout http://www.carlsstuff.com (if you are not already here)
We hope you are resting up, we should be in Tbay in less than a month....

Father's Day
We had a great fathers day this year, despite the girls tipping me off on one surprise.
After Alisha sang at Emmanuel Baptist church (twice), we went to Tillicum Mall where we picked up some photos and they covered my eyes to bring me into a sports shop to buy ROLLERBLADES !! This is in hopes I can keep up with the girls when they are riding their bike. I've been working nights, so really haven't had a chance to roadtest them yet (aka, scrape my knees) :-)
After Tillicum mall, we went and saw "Kung Fu Panda", which wasn't too bad.
We were pretty tired after that, considering the girls had two dance performances the night before and we didn't get home until 10pm. Also, I had t work that night.
As you probably read in your email, I've finally updated my carlsstuff.com website to include this blog and the obscure locations of all my media online.

Oak Bay Tea Party parade
busy day today !!!
we started off by waking up at 6:30ish so that we could be leave the house by 8:00 to be at the parade by 8:45am. We go there, got setup and waited....and waited....and waited.
The parade started at 10:30, but we didn't starting rolling until about 10:50 !! That is a lot of standing around...not sure why we had to be there so early, but we were.
After the parade we had a quick bite to eat and then Restita dropped Alisha and I off at the maritime museum for a birthday party that started @ 1pm. Mari & Restita went to a seperate party that started @ 2:30pm at Falcon Gymnastics (where they normally go, but had skipped their regular class in the morning).
After Alisha's birthday party, we took the bus home (Alisha loves the bus) and Restita came home after their party.
We just hung around for a bit and we got invited over for a BBQ / Birthday party leftovers to the family that Mari went to the birthday of earlier. My feet were exhausted (real problem these days), so Restita went with the kids. They left about 6pm, but didn't eat until 8:30pm and got home about 10pm. I am glad I didn't go to that one !!
I think tomorrow is going to be a bit better, we are going to church and then to the Oak Bay Tea Party (which we were in the parade for). The OBTP there is a small carnival section with about a dozen rides, so he girls will enjoy that....and I will enjoy spending all that money :-( oh well.
