photojournal of the day

The kids and i had a day full of adventure. It's my day off and i wanted to pack in some fun so that i could avoid the chaos that is getting a house ready to go on the market.

We started at my house where a family of quail ran through the yard.

Then we did our garden harvest for the next couple of days. Behold the bounty:

Then off to the library, well on our way, parker serenaded us the whole way:

The boys did a little light reading:

The girls picked up some new shoes while we were in town:

Then we headed down to the big city to search chinatown for some bento stuff for school lunches (no luck with that.)

Tristan bought a jaunty hat:

We looked at some trinkets:

Saw some beautiful architecture:

Had the whole world in our hands:

About this time parker melted down and we piled back in the car and drove around our old neighbourhoods and i showed them the houses where they were born. Parker passed out and we headed back up the highway home and promptly got stuck in traffic:

Then we got home, ate dinner which included potatoes and squash from our garden and went out for a few errands. Shane talks on the phone while driving. Bad shane.
