Canoeing and Concerts

It's been really rainy lately, not that I am complaining. Love the smell in the air, and I am not a big fan of heat. It's been sunny when we've needed it. Such as at the Bon Jovi concert last Thursday. Thank you Shelley for getting us $2 tickets, it was awesome!
Saturday we visited Aunt Kay in St. Albert and checked out St Alberts farmers market.  I love farmers markets, and all the free samples. Picked up some pie too. For the rest of the afternoon we boated down the North Sask with Aaron and Shelley. First time on the river for me, and I highly recommend it. A minor warning, if you have to go to shore as a result of liquid intake, make sure not to put ones foot down on an anthill. It's tricky to stop the ants from going up your legs and to take care of the whole reason you stopped on shore.
Sunday we had our first volunteers meeting for Folk Fest, which Niki and I are getting pretty excited for.
Tonight we're going to see Macbeth. We saw Much Ado when Niki's parents were out, so now it's time to see the other play on this summer. I've not been to a lot of live theatre, but I have yet to be disappointed when I have seen it.
Cheers,
Scott

Summer Time Visits and Fun

As of June 30, 2010, Niki and I have been married for three years. It's been pretty awesome, and I can't believe our wedding was only three years ago. It feels like forever! In a good way of course :)
Niki's parents, Laurie and Brian, were out for a visit to help celebrate. They brought the puppies, which was great. I really miss having a little spaniel around now. Such cute dogs. We really enjoyed the visit, and wish Victoria was closer. One of the bonuses of guests is checking out what Edmonton has to offer. We went to Telus World of Science, Canada Day Fireworks, Farmers Market and the Freewill Shakespeare Festival. Brian also dug us a beautiful little flower bed, and Laurie painted the fence. Last time they were here Niki had them working in the basement, but she decided to go easy on them this time.
My dad recently had a birthday, which Alley Kat kindly celebrated by choosing to release their anniversary ginger beer. We also check out a Capitals game, which the good guys won.
Ok Go came to town, it was a good concert. I just wish they did not have to always start so much later than the doors opened. I'm getting too old to wait that long.
I love the window shaking thunder storms we sometimes get. It's been awhile, but one rolled through the end of June. It was also the day Niki chose to bike home from work. So proud of her.
Cheers,
Scott
