A hat-trick of posts tonight. Here’s Tomer, Aidan, and I kicking back playing ESPN NHL Hockey 2K4 on the XBox after a hard day in the hot summer sun. Aidan sure loves playing on the XBox!

Flugtag: n. German for “Flying Day”.

On Saturday afternoon, Carla & Tomer and the three of us joined some 50,000 people down by Science World for a Red Bull sponsored Flugtag event.

The event consisted of many teams of people, from right across the country, driving various shapes and sizes of human-powered vehicles off the end of a pier into False Creek (ewwwww). The “goal” was to fly the longest distance. From the several entries that we saw, “flying” was a generous term. Here’s a one picture from the day … I’ve uploaded a bunch of other pictures to Flickr as a way to evaluate Flickr.

Ugh, Aidan has a cold again. By extension, *I* have a cold too. I never get colds, but for each one that he has had, I have become sick too. Ugh.

Satuday was Grandma Kathy’s birthday, and she had breakfast with Aidan. Well, sort-of. She got the commentary over the phone anyway.

Here’s the video for the same.

Something we hear a lot at our house: Anthony says, “Aidan, where’s Mommy?”

We went walking and stumbled upon a small playground one day. I brought Aidan and Anthony back here to play. I am not sure that Aidan liked his first time on a tire swing. It was funny seeing Anthony try to maneouvre in and out of it though.

Aidan did however love the slide. It was on a slight hill and he could, with our help, climb up the slide and then go down on his own.

Aidan went down a couple of times on his bum, but he preferred to go both up and down on his tummy.

Wow this looks steep. It is amazing what you can do with camera angles.

Too bad you can’t see all the dirt. He had a blast though. “Catch you later Grandparents.”
