Ivo & Burl at the Park

Ryan, Ivo, Burl and I spent the morning at Connell Park - which is such a great park - all the swings and jungle gyms are surrounded by tons of sand. We brought some of the kids' pails and shovels and built some castles and train tracks. Ivo and Burl mostly like to shovel and pour and stomp on anything with shape. Today Ivo made a mountain. Ivo LOVED swinging - especially underdoggin'!





























Afterwards we went to DQ - as part of our scientific sampling of N.america's junk food, purely research - oh, yea, and fun too! It was the first time Burl has ever liked ice cream - and boy, did he like it! Soft serve with chocolate sauce. Ivo had a little cup of chocolate - we'd ordered vanilla, but got choc instead. The server was very nice and offered to change it - but we just rolled with it. The girl was NUTTY! She told us waaay too much about herself, her spending habits, her living arrangement, how she doesn't get along with her mother and how she binge drinks and puts it on her credit cards... Well, we were happy to just get ice cream outta her, so we didn't wanna tax her any more than necessary.











Yikes.

Oh yea, a friendly customer at DQ asked us if our kids are always so well-behaved!!! Whoo-hoo!

It was a SUPER WINDY day! Ivo and Ryan went to an evening showing of Wall-E from which Ivo returned kinda sad and mopey. Burl, Gail and I worked in the garden, walked around, played ball and saw a huge rainbow!

Tomorrow Ryan and I are going to Fredericton to check out the housing market... Hopefully we can find something GREAT!
