LOOONG DAY YESTERDAY

First of all, the barge has been re-floated and towed to the Graving Dock in Esquimalt for repairs. I wasn't there to see it, but I went by in the morning while it was being pumped out, and it looked pretty grim, so kudos to whoever/however it got pulled off that rock!

This tugboat won't need to 'stand guard' any longer...


So we started the day with the birthday boy, taking him out for breakfast -- then Mischa and I and Jason took the boys out to Mineral World, a place River really likes! Ended the day with dinner at one of his favorite restaurants, where Jeff joined us for dinner (and Michael would've but he's got the same cold I've had forever, complete with a fever, so he passed).

Jason amusing the boys with a game on his cell phone while we waited for a table:

Gibson the future bartender?

Jason playing with the settings on my new camera:

And a rare shot of Gibson and his Daddy:


It was a lovely day, but looong.

And yes, knitting *has* happened, why do you ask? :)

Baby blanket, half-done!

I'm at the store today, 11 am to 4 pm.
