The Hills are Alive...


... with the sound of raclette! Julien must have known that he was going to eat something different for supper -- hence, the lack of excitement. Jaye, on the other hand, thrilled with the successful smuggling of cheese across the border, presses on with the promise of melted cheese and wine for supper. What a fantastic Vermont weekend!

ROMulous

While in Toronto recently, we went to see the Vanity Fair photo exhibit at the ROM. If you haven't already, I strongly recommend going to see it -- if just for a few of the portraits (my favourites: Margaret Thatcher, Drew Barrymore and Lance Armstrong). I took this shot on the way out from the exhibit. There were thousands of these figurines in a display case: all perfectly lined up. I was jealous.

Colourful Collage Crowd



A shot from inside a café in Barcelona. The painting included pasted beer and water bottle labels along with old matchbook covers. The canvas was quite large: 10'x6'. All figures had their backs to viewer. If it were for sale, I would have bought it.

Mutton Soup

A menu (okay let's be honest: food) often has an impact on my recollection of a visit. In this case, the sandwich board did little to draw me in. Instead, it made me think, who would want to eat old sheep soup? Alas, I didn't go in to find out: instead, I snapped this and went on to eat my crustless cucumber sandwich in one of London's many well maintained parks.

It's a Fact: Kael Likes Ice Cream

Last Saturday, while mom was packing and dad was gone to work on his bicycle, Kael made his way down to the Pointe for a little visit. We discovered that he likes ice cream -- a lot. Unfortunately, we didn't realise that this might prevent him from napping. Although the sugar eventually wore off, and he did sleep, we've learned our lesson! We had a super fun-filled day with Kael, who draws a lot of attention because of his hair, and then locks them in with his charm.
