Day 39: Pan-am pool & Bon Jovi I was going through the posts and noticed that the only one not to get his photo on here, by himself, is Kurtis. Probably because he doesn't sit still long enough to have his photo taken! That's Kurtis, muscular toned, very low body fat %, very active, and an eating machine! We had a good day yesterday. I took the boys to the Pan-Am and headed downtown to try and catch some lightening. I was successful in a few but soon discovered that it was a little more difficult to catch lightening in the daytime than at night. I'll work on that a bit more! After that I went back to the pool and to the observation deck to see if I could get some pics of the boys jumping off the 5 metre platform. I managed to get quite a few actually. Then it was home for dinner and Stacie and I were off to the Kid Rock/Bon Jovi concert. I must say it was way better than I was expecting even if Jon-Bon looked wired on something for pain the whole time. That happens when you tear a calf muscle less than a week before the concert here. They played a mix of music with all the old hits. He really knows how to get a crowd going! I really liked Kid Rock also. Got the crowd going, played a great mix of music, and showed how talented he really is by not just playing every instrument, but playing them WELL! The photo for today is of Kurtis jumping off the 5 metre platform at the Pan-Am just being himself...

Day 40 & 41: Basketball shoe shopping Well... We spent a lot of the last two days shopping for the perfect pair of Basketball shoes for Kurtis. He really knew what he wanted and they were actually easy to find, just not in his size! I could have sat in my office and called all the places to see if they had the shoe he wanted in his size and just went there and picked them up. But you know what, we had a blast driving all over the city looking for them. I'm am not sure who has the most bruises from all the "punch-buggies" we saw. I'm pretty sure it was me, and Jarod was winning because he never missed one and my leg was literally throbbing from all the boney little fist punches to it. Then I decided I had enough of getting beat on. I managed to get Kurtis and Jarod, (Zane was at work) into a deep conversation that I can't even remember what it was about, as I drove to the nearest VW dealership. We were by it the other day and I noticed that all the Beetle's they had were in the third row back from the street so you couldn't see them as you drove up. My plan worked perfectly! Just as we drove by I spotted a blue one, green one, grey one, red one and two black ones. I must admit Jarod is pretty fast. I got him on the first four, but he nailed me on the two black ones! Those damn boney little fists hurt! Kurt was in the back seat and missed them all, but he was the first to figure out that I was keeping them talking and purposely drove by the dealership. The whole thing may sound a little sadistic, but it was a great bonding time and other than some bruises on my leg, we had fun and did manage to get Kurt's basketball shoes. Not exactly the one he was looking for, but even better and they fit his foot like a glove. As soon a he put them on I looked at them and said, "those look like they were made for you foot." He told me that that is exactly how they feel! The photo for today is from this evening. we continued with our bonding time, Zane included, by shooting some "hoops" and me grabbing some pictures of them. I took a bunch with them in the picture but for the post I decided I liked this one. I hope you do too...
