Friday night, we went downtown to U&I Thai with Mom, Dad, Jeff, Adam and Aly. If you haven't been there, I highly recommend it. Excellent service and decent prices. The food is amazing. Every time we're just fawning over how delicious it is!
Some of the best Pad Thai and Yellow/Red Curry I've ever had! Naturally, I forgot to take a photo of the dishes and the wonderful company we had...
Saturday morning rolled around and we participated in a church clean-up. Volunteers from the church community went to the work-site and swept and cleaned up drywall, insulation, plywood, etc. We probably had 15-20 volunteers give up time on their Saturday morning. It was hard work, and our lungs were filled with dust, but a good exercise in giving up our time!
Some sweepers in action
The front of the sanctuary. The building feels so... grand. Very excited to be moving in there!
After the church clean-up, we decided to take Sherlock to Noel Booth park for a swim, as we had some errands to run later in the day. At least... that was the plan. This is what the "lake" we normally bring him to looked like on Saturday.
This used to be all water!
Sherlock wasn't overly concerned... He found a mud puddle to roll around in.
Whose muddy dog is that?!
AIR DRY! Sherlock tends to roll around on the ground or run like mad when he gets wet. It makes for a great show!
Since he couldn't swim like we were hoping, we took him for a walk around the lake.
Lovely nature walk. If you look VERY closely, you can see Sherlock and David running together down the trail.
Finally, near the end of our walk, we found a large puddle, or small portion of the lake that still had water in it! We grabbed the fattest stick we could find and threw it a few times for Sherlock. At least he got his swim in! All that hard work air drying was put to waste.
After we got Sherlock home and dried off, David and I decided to head out to Homesense and Canadian Tire. We had some gift cards and items we wanted to purchase.
David wants to make our powder room a "forest" theme. He picked out some green and brown towels as well as that grassy plant and little tree on the counter. I think it looks cute. He can have free reign of this bathroom I suppose! It's not complete yet though.
I purchased the glass vase and these cute fake flowers for the little shelf in our living room! Brings some colour, texture and shine to the wall.
Finally, from Canadian Tire, we bought two patio chairs! Yay! I've been getting lots of use out of them sitting out on the deck with Sherlock.
On Sunday, we went to church in the morning as I was playing bass. After church, my parents were having some old and new friends over to their house for lunch. We joined them and talked to Karen and Darcy and the girls about their recent trip to Harry Potter land in Universal Studios Orlando!
That's me closest to the camera. My hair is getting so long! I can't decide whether to keep growing it or chop it again.
Sunday night was the Supermoon & Lunar Eclipse. We were lucky enough to have an amazing vantage point for the show. Sometimes it's all about the people you know, and the family you have ;).

Looking West towards Vancouver/Burnaby
Can see Grouse Mountain on the right there! Amazing view.
Looking out over King George Blvd and the Skytrain. Can almost see my work from here!
Not a view many people get the privilege of seeing.
