Recent pictures

Joshua had a two-week long 2nd birthday. After returning from Colorado, we stayed home a few days and then flew up to Victoria, BC, Canada to celebrate his birthday with my family. Here is a photo of his new 'Big Wheel' and helmet. He's still a little small for his new "bike" as he calls it, but I remember my brother cruising on his big wheel trying to reach warp speed. Thank you grandma and grandpa!

The next pictures were taken at Victoria's Splash celebration. The Victoria Symphony plays at dusk on a barge set in the Inner Harbour. They close down the streets all around. Thousands of people gather around the harbour and there is a huge flock of small boats and kayaks that converge in front of the stage. My dad and I paddled over and joined the flotilla. The music ended with the 1812 Overture with actual canons shooting and a big fireworks display. The Parliament Building is next to the harbour and I took the picture from near my dad's dock as we were walking home. It's a beatiful town full of nice people at a slower pace.
