New Years 10km

10am January 1st we lined up to start the Tequila 10.

It was fast, perhaps a new New Years time record.

Keep your eyes on the road, Jason.

For the historical record, Dave Adlard won the late night poker game. I took home the Silver medal.

Dave Adlard has his own paintball course and gear. I joined in the annual tradition of doing unto others before they do unto ME.

Here’s why you ALWAYS wear a face shield.

A paintball can suck the eyeball right out of the socket.

New Zealand #1

Sounds like the Longs have enjoyed New Zealand best of all on their Round the World family holiday.

… We have been traveling and staying with the Closson family since we arrived. Clossons are our friends from Saskatoon, for those of you who do not know them. They are on an ambitious one year round the world tour. Kim lived here when he was younger and so still has many friends and connections. Fortunately for all of us, many of Kim’s friends have been very generous and allowed squatters in their “bach”.

A bach is typically a small holiday cottage, but our first “bach” was a luxury highrise at the beach with views of the ocean and harbor. Thanks Kim!! …

Maxim at Disney

Max took Dana and Fred to Disneyland … via a Disney Cruise.

… The Oceaneer’s Club was Maxim’s favourite place. The Pirate Ship provided him literally hours of climbing and sliding adventure fun. The staff was amazing, the multitude of “friends” unlimited! One happy boy! …

Ron embarrasses Kate AGAIN

Seems Rockin’ made some comic business cards for Kate. Using old photos to humourous effect.

… Late that afternoon, I began noticing that the photographs on the cards I was doling out weren’t all the same. Most contained a picture of my smiling face, but one featured me with an iguana on my head, and another showed me wearing a highly unbecoming English Bobby’s hat. Stanley had evidently thrown in a few unappetizing images from our family photo collection. …

I don’t see what she’s complaining about. 🙂

… looks like I’ll be out to visit the Shewchuks just before that holiday Ron shares with Jesus.
