Fathers Day weekend

We had a fun weekend this past weekend, although not many pictures were taken. Having the weather warm up again was a bonus too! On Friday Shelby's parents and Jamie and Sara came over for dinner and stayed the night. After dinner I went to my brother Mike's house quickly to pick up the Wii Fit to play for the evening. When I got back Aaron had his haircut, into a Mohawk/Fauxhawk not sure which one it officially is, with some encouragement from Auntie and Unc Unc?? He has been talking about getting one and now he finally got it! I haven't taken any really great pictures of it yet, but here's a couple.

On Saturday I helped out with Love Langley, basically it's a way for churches to show unconditional love to the community. Our church decided this year to hand out care packages to the local businesses free of charge. It didn't take that long to hand out the packages, but it was neat to see the reaction on the people's faces as we gave them their packages.

In the afternoon Aaron and Kyle went to Aidan's fifth birthday party. It was a dinosaur party and from what I've heard the kids had a lot of fun. Perhaps Jason and Elizabeth will have a post about it soon.

In the evening there was a goodbye BBQ for for Sara's friend Cheryl who is leaving for Quebec soon. Cheryl also happens to be a decent photographer and got a sweet going away present from her boss, so we should expecting even better pictures right Cheryl??

On Sunday morning we went to church and then after church my family and Jason's family had a surprise for us, if we could solve the clues to find the treasure, basically a geocache for us dads to find. Once we found the treasure, with the odd hint from our kids, we found chocolates and gummy fruits waiting for us along with homemade Fathers Day cards from the kids. Thanks kids!

Here we are opening the 'cache' in Campbell Valley Park

After finding our treasure we had a picnic in the park, the weather was great and everyone had a good time.

After lunch we headed for Aaron's blastball game, then Jason ended up running to the park and we went for an afternoon run, and it was really hot!

For dinner we went to Mike and Viva's place for a Fathers Day dinner with my dad. My mom is out of the country right now seeing the world(again), so my dad is on his own for a few weeks, so it was good to spend some time with him as well.

Anyway like I said before, not that many pictures, but a nice weekend nonetheless.
