On Saturday August 12, finding themselves abandoned and alone, Danoshimano (aka Dad) and GeoJake (aka Jakob) headed out on a geocaching adventure around Georgian Bay. With no particular goal in mind -- other than a caching adventure -- they headed toward Collingwood and beyond.

By the time they made it back home late Saturday night, they had found 5 geocaches, missed on two others, and had plenty of fun. 

The Clements family had a sucessful 4-day, 3-night wilderness canoe adventure in Killarney Park! This was Kristin and Jakob's second time in Killarney, having visited four years earlier on their first-ever canoe trip. The first time in Jakob was only 6 when faced with his first portage: a 2.1 km bruiser with no lunch in his tummy. This time around, the longest portage was just under half-a-kilometer, but the kids were asked to drag a kayak through it.

On Sunday, Jennifer and I scored two (count 'em 2) "FIRST TO FIND" geocaches, our first FTF geocaches in almost 6 months!

It was back in November 2005 that Kristin announced she was going to try out for a part in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", an extra-curricular play at her school. When asked what kind of part she was trying out for, she said just a small part.

That evening, she announced that she had been selected for a part. What part? "Alice," she calmly replied. Say, isn't that the main part? Actually, she was to co-star with another "Alice" and they would alternate scenes through the two-act play.

The Stanley Cup made a surprise appearance after Easter Lunch. The family had gathered at Aunt Joc and Uncle Mark's house in Toronto for Easter lunch, along with Grandma and Grandpa S. It was shortly after dessert that the neighbour knocked on the door to announce the Stanley Cup was out front. Sure enough, it was!
