Summer is officially in full swing, and we are rapidly approaching the most patriotic of Canadian holidays, NHL Free Agency Deadline Day. In a few days, our Pooklings will find out which free agents were signed by the Flames, and which players will be moving on so they actually have a shot at the cup. We also get to laugh when we find out which Atlanta players will go AWOL on their way to Winnepeg. Go Jets.
I am not certain but Declan may have uttered his first words after Game 7 of the finals. Right when the first cop car was overturned he looked up at me and said:
"Look at these Vancouver assholes, that's what happens when a team full of chokers has the most idiot fans of any team in the league."
Come to think of it, it may have been Dusty that said that. Or Johnny Walker. Either way, stay classy Vancouver!
A few other firsts have come along. The kids had their first hotel stay, attended their first wedding, ate their first solid(ish) food. All three experiences were positive for the most part, but Declan is not a fan of bananas, and we'll leave it at that.
Unfortunately, us northern folk need to fit four months of summer into two months. This makes the weekends a tad busy. This weekend we are down in Pincher, Pookie and the kids are staying for the week, and then I am headed down again next weekend to meet up with the family. Always a multi-tasker, I am also in the prestigious Pincher Creek 4 x 4 golf scramble that weekend, so it is a full one. Tiger is out with a knee injury, so we don't expect him this year, which is sad because the course is in truly magnificent condition.
The following weekend is the third annual "Dickheads in the Woods Camping Adventure". No wives, girlfriends, dogs, kids or pets allowed. Just a few drunken jerks without proper supervision throwing whatever weapons Balfour bought on Ebay and drinking hard liquor out of plastic cups. How does a guy fit it all in?
On the pictures!
The Pooklings ready for their first swim. Funcle Dusty even took Reid down the water slide. Fun times.
Reid did not like the waterslide. At all.
Stella is really moving in her sleep. One night at Grandma Betty's she woke up under a chair. Been there Stella, been there.
Declan in his new highchair waiting for his lunch. The service is terrible at this place.
Stella in her new hat. Pretty cute.
Reid heard you have his money. Reid wants his money.
Reid either got his money or is in the middle of a sweet game of bounce bounce.
Declan with the big smile.
Play time on the deck. Rocky looking for a little something to lick off of the mat. That little something is usually puke.
Stella Bella looking pretty as can be in her new highchair. She is loving the solid foods.
That's it for today, more coming soon.

Hey Man, that thing I bought on EBay is the same one they used to bust down Bin Laden's door!
