The end of Summer 2008

Wow, it's been a long time that I have not updated the blog - summer is almost over and the kids are back to school since beginning of September.

The kids and I went to Quebec for 2 weeks during the summer holiday and we had a great time there although it was raining almost everyday in the afternoon. Pauline and Simon also went with us and the kids had so much fun! Marylin and Oliver were also there and we've been able to spend few days in Quebec City. This is the first time that I went to the east after 14 years and I have to admit that Old Quebec has a beauty of its own! My camera was always at work! We met friends and family at Montreal, Brossard and they were all very welcoming - Mirella, Henri, Patricia, Jimmy, Thank you all for your hospitality and it was very nice to spend time with you.

Tyson's grading for Red Belt

Apr 26, 2008 - Tyson is tested for the Red Belt level and he made it, Bravo Tyson!

Western Tae Kwon Do championship tournament

Mar 21 to 23, 2008 - we drove to Kamloops which is 5 hours from home for the tournament. We stayed 2 nights at the hotel and we arrived on Friday afternoon. We met our friends to check out the university where the event would take place and after that, we went for dinner. On Saturday, we had to be in the gym at 8.30 am for the ceremony and the kids waited till about 2.00pm for their turn to do patterns and sparring. The event finished around 7.00pm and all the members of the tae kwon do school along with the parents met for dinner. Tyson and Alison both won medals, Tyson won 2 golds and Alison 1 gold and 1 silver. They were pretty happy about themselves. It was a fun outing!

Spring break 2008

Spring break was full of fun things - a day out at the Science World, trip on the sea bus, sky train, West Coast train. Simon and Alison's friend slept over. Tyson tried indoor karting which goes up to 70 kms! Kids went swimming.
