Visitors Continued.....


Outside Vancouver Art Gallery, Still Life


After dining at Sandbar (yumm), Ming and Julia

Aside from shopping, we did manage to get out and sample various ethnic foods. Ok, who am I kidding.....all we did was shop and eat!!!!!

Family Visits

I've been blogless this past month, mostly due to my family being here. It's come and gone so quickly I can't believe it's over! Julia, Dave and the kids leave tomorrow and I'm having a sleepover on their last night with the kids. Oh ya, and I've been extremely busy at work.
This is Ben. He got an boo boo on the tip of his nose from a face plant on the sidewalk :(

It's been a couple of months since I last saw Matthew and Ben and they change every time I see them - it kills me, but it's so fun to watch them grow. I'm saddened they aren't babies anymore, but that's ok, because all my friends have babies now. Must be something in the water?

Next guest to arrive.......Robin from Fort McMurray for the September long weekend. I believe we have plans to go camping. I haven't been camping since I quit camping with Mary. Should be interesting - will take lots of pictures in case nobody believes that I actually can camp.

Celebration of Lights - Mexico

I couldn't tell you who won the Celebration of Lights, but they were all great, especially the finale. Me and my cousins and their family all came to my place and we went down to Kits beach on the last day.

So you think you can dance should be so you think you have a funny face!

I can't believe Benji won the most 'favorite' dancer. I am still very upset and disappointed with the outcome ho0wever, America did vote and they also voted for Bush so it ain't say'n much! I was really rooting for Travis and was so sure he would win. This is what happens when America votes. Maybe if they had Canada vote, the country would not be in such a state.



I'm trying to convince Mary to attend So You Think You Can Dance Live Tour 2006, Seattle, WA Tue, Sep 12, 2006 but she seems to think it's impossible. I also think working out is impossible so I find that excuse supremely lame.

Family Visit

Well, sadly enough, batch #1 of visitors are coming to an end. Momma and papa Wong left Sunday night with our bellies full of an amazing dinner we had with all our relatives. So delish. Cindy leaves tomorrow morning and on our last day together, we will meet up for lunch with our Aunt and Uncle and have a big ass steak at the Keg tonight!

Our credit cards took a beating when we went cross border shopping. The best buy was my $8 rounded toe cowboy boots. And to boot, we didn't have to pay any duty! Gotta love it when that happens.

I took Cindy to the Lantern Festival at Trout Lake. I was a little disappointed in some of the displays but all in all, it was a good walk-about. I bought these flashing light up toys for Matthew and Ben and one of them is a fisherman with the flashing light as the fishing rod. Well, it's strategically placed above his waist, however, it looks like his fishing rod is a big long schlong. Not too sure if mummy would approve but the kids would never 'get it' so it may be ok.

Batch #2 arrives a week tomorrow! Bring it!!
