Summer camping and daytrips


Tristan enjoys a boat ride at Centre Island. We went with Matthew, a good buddy from church.

Camping at Algonquin Park. The kings were waiting for dinner and roasted marshmellows from dad, and Roald Dahl stories from mom.


Graydon's best friend Aaron was at the campsite right across. They got to spend a lot of time at the beach together monopolizing the sand.

Disney Trip with Grandma/Grandpa, Florida 2009

Fighting bad guys together with Buzz at Disney earlier in 2009. Prior to the trip, the boys didn't know too much about the many different Disney characters. Afterwards, Tristan was constantly saying "the magic of Disney" and asking to go back. Graydon conquered his fear of roller coasters and told Clem that he loved feeling "like he's gonna die".

Graydon was chosen to get up on stage to join the Jedi training academy. They used cool light saber techniques and the force to defeat Darth Vader. This was the best part of Disney for Graydon.

Graydon is holding up a planet and got to experience how it feels to launch a space shuttle.


Tristan got to eat breakfast at the Crystal Palace with Pooh and the gang. He asked daddy to explain why Piglet was so big in real life. The chance to meet Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and co. was the best part of Tristan's trip.

Thanks for the wonderful trip grandma & grandpa!
