My day with the boys

I was in Edmonton yesterday, and spent the day with my nephews.  First, we went to the farmer's market.

All this came from local organic farms.


Then I took the nephews to the Street Performers Festival.  I got a wee bit of a sunburn.



It was hot enough that I let them talk me into buying them each $5 non-alcoholic margaritas (AKA Slushies).


Really, they just wanted the funky cups that the drinks came in.

Then we stopped off at a workshop where the boys got juggling lessons.  That was the highlight of the day.


Neither has mastered it quite yet, but they're both absolutely sure that they will be experts momentarily.    
(Carma - I showed them your video when we got home and now they want to be just like you and your son.)


The boys and their parents are moving to British Columbia next week.  I'm going to miss them.

  5. What a great day! My youngest, the Skater, is a pretty good juggler. He really enjoyed it when he was a boy.

    Glad you had a good day. Sorry about the burn. Similar story here, spending time with my Girl by the pool and got a pretty good burn myself. Worth it though.
