We had burgers, arctic char and salad. The kids had pizza and cupcakes and ice cream. We opened presents and played pin the tail on the donkey. The funniest thing was when Bertie tried to blow out his candle in his cupcake. He just stared at the candle, cross-eyed, for about 5 minutes. Kevin helped him try to blow.

We had 18 kids over at our house with a balloon room, pizza making, a cake, a tent, play dough and a car garage. There's also some pictures of Easter dinner and some visits with A & K. Enjoy!

Starting in Thunder Bay, we stopped in Kenora, ON, then Oak Lake, MB, then Regina, SK, then North Battleford, SK, then Edmonton, AB, then Grimshaw, AB, then Yellowknife, NT. Some highlights were our leisurely stay in Regina and the lightning storm that rocked the Battleford on our first night. A lot of kilometres behind us and it's good to be home!

It was a great trip - very memorable and I even learned a thing or two. I spent most of my time walking around Dublin, visiting all the sights and going on all the tours. I also spent a fair amount of time going to various events related to the 50th International Eucharistic Congress, which was going on that week. The Congress events and exhibitions were good, although a bit crowded.
I saw the Guinness Storehouse, the City Hall, the Stock Exchange, Dublin Castle, Croke Park and most of the downtown churches. I walked through most of the parks and got to know most of the area pretty well. I also took a day-trip to the Cliffs of Moher, Galway City and the Burren, which was quite nice. Unfortunately, I did not get to all the museums I would've liked to and I didn't get to tour the Dail, which I regret.
I was not a very good photographer but here are some pictures I took.

It was a bit buggy to be truly comfortable. I think an in-city camp experience would've been more pleasant. But the weather was nice, the beach was nice and the campground was beautiful. The kids really liked playing on the beach. Winnie unfortunately returned very bug-bitten but the rest of us were not so bad.

I've been finishing up my research paper, entitled "Real-Time Enterprise Integration with IBM Message Broker". Nikki has been very active going to the Y and playing with the kids. She had her birthday and we went on a date to Genji, a sushi restaurant downtown. We also got Winnie's hair cut at Melonhead, a kid's hairdressing place.
Me and Winnie went to a junior ballet, Snow White, at the Centrepointe Theatre. It was not easy to follow the plot but she enjoyed the dancing, and she even said "Oh no..." whenever something bad happened (Snow White got kicked out, or fell asleep from the apple). She clapped at the end of every dance. Not bad considering it was a 7:30 PM show.
We also went camping at a small campsite in Gatineau. We're going to Algonquin Park next Friday, too. Today, we had a picnic with my classmates at Britannia Park.
Here are some pictures.

It reminded us of Yellowknife. We had a small picnic after.

It was pretty neat and the children were very well-behaved. The bunker is just west of Ottawa. It just looks like a shed from outside but it's a 4-story compound inside.

There was some doubt about whether or not we'd do it, considered we didn't have a parish and we don't have godparents here. With the help of the baptismal coordinator, Fr. Jim Lowe, we did manage to resolve all our difficulties and we baptized Bertie today. It was a wonderful ceremony. Donna and Gary managed to come for the weekend, as well.<br /><br /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="https://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&captions=1&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fcnaphan%2Falbumid%2F5679836992825274897%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCNvQsY6sh_f9Dg%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>Curtishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01217975289763105715noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7367616001730628714.post-39668367998940457072011-11-11T13:49:00.000-08:002011-11-11T13:54:14.070-08:00Halloween 2011Here are some pics from Halloween this year.
