I suppose I had my lucky horse shoes on that day...after I brought the poor little camera in and dried it off (keeping it level the whole time) I took it upstairs and applied warm dryer heat to it. I totally panicked when the lens fogged so badly. So I left it for 24 hours and then picked it up with a little prayer and turned it on. IT WORKS!! Just the same way it did...you know focusing when it wants and all!!
I will post some fun pics tomorrow! We had a great day today after a sad day yesterday so I'll show the nice pics!

Oh Oh!!
I haven't payed any attention to blogging lately, clearly....and now I've done it! Dwayne left the house via the back porch this am on the way to the IGA for breaky supplies (he requested something we didn't have) and there it was...a loud nasty gasp....and I ran out to see. Was it a bear, a dead body or what? Nope, I left the new lovely expensive digital camera out in the rain last night.....GASP!! I have pics of the kids over the last couple of weeks so I am hoping that in the morning everything will be ok again!
DUMMY!!
On the brighter note (and keep in mind, pictures pending!) Dwayne has finally solo'd in the plane. His lovely little plane! He was able this week (with instructor on board) to fly my Mom to and from Naniamo for my Auntie Jo (Dave passed away on Monday), and Dwayne got her there so fast. It was so cool!!
The kids are coming to the end of school...I am torn about this. I'm so excited to not have lunches to re-invent and clothes to ensure are clean and I'm sad that the evenings won't be mine anymore...Sarah will go to bed at the same time as us likely!
Oh well they are off to camp for a few days in July, so that'll be a break!!

Fun in the Sun!!
Alright, so I decided to be a friend and not a Mom last Friday.
I picked the kids up from school at noon and then we went out for lunch. Following lunch we headed home to change into swim suits. They were thrilled to find out that we were off to the water slides. It was June 1st and it felt like summer!! The slides at Cultas have a great deal on right now with sliding after school (2:30 to 6:30) only costing 7$ per person. I was so excited about this as it is usually 21$ per....a 3 for 1 deal!! We were in the line at 2:20pm and the staff let us in. As fast as the kids could run up and slide down they could go again. There were no line-ups until about 4:30. We headed for home about 5:15pm and started a great weekend!
We will likely go one more time as we don't go when it gets out of control crazy in the summer.
