Oh A Full Long Weekend!


Thursday was my Birthday, but we didn't really do the Birthday celebrations until Saturday.
Saturday morning Carl drove to Peterborough to get Alex, Amber and Kitty Candy!
On Saturday afternoon we had the family and the Lyons here for a BBQ.
We had chicken teriaki, salad, veggies and dip, and cherries.

On July 2nd Carl left to be stationed at CFB Petawawa for a month.
He is taking the DP1 course
This is 6AM

Cam and Al dragged themselves outta bed to see Dad off.

I had to take Carl to the Denison Armories which is located in North Toronto,
on the site of the old Downsview Airforce base.
At Denison they catch the bus for the 7hr ride to CFB Petawawa

Getting in ranks for inspection and bus loading prep

These guys leaving on course are 17-50 years of age.
Guess who the 50 yr old is!

Kitty Candy had her birthday on June 30th.
So she is no longer a kitten.
This was her first visit to our place.
She had a blast with stairs and carpet, and the big window
that shows more than a parking lot

Father's Day In Peterborough!

Well Sunday (Father's Day) ended a fanny-tastic weekend!

Amber could not come to the party, as she had a lot of work to do for her thesis, and Friday(when we traveled) was sample gathering day for her.

I really missed her this weekend. When she is not around I am the only girl in our little family.

When we all went to Peterborough to drop Alex off, he treated us to a Father's Day dinner at the Olde Stone Inn and Brewery.

Carl and Me
(do I look less puffy today?)

Cam and Carl

Al had the Burger, Carl and Cam had Fish and Chips

Amber had Thai Noodles

And I fudged a diet-ish meal out of two appetizers:
Plain Chicken Wings and a Salad.
I didn't eat the carrots.

I was going to erase this pic.....but then I thought the hand movement looked cool.

Back at the apartment Candy kitty was the primary attention.

Kitty paw

Another one I was going to erase and thought better of it.

Candy found some paper to crunch on!
