Cousin time, and rescuing grandpa.

Saturday my dad came down to take nathan to soccer, which was wonderful.  When Gigi and I were done cheer we went home thinking Nate would be home any moment.  Almost 3 hrs later still no nathan, then I look outside and a tow truck pulls up with my dad's truck attached.  First thing I think is accident ;).  Nope truck looks fine, Nathan's fine just starving.  Grandpas truck would not start, but as soon as it was unhooked the truck started again, my dad moved it and came in for lunch.  Nathan was excited to run in and tell Gigi that he got to ride in a huge tow truck!   Funny how excited he was and how refreshing, us adults are usually in pretty bad moods when tow trucks are involved.  He had a greAt adventure with my dad.  

We then had a bday party to go to and guess what dad's truck would not start.  Dad stayed until we got back and he tried it again, still didn't start, so we decided to pack an overnight bag and head to grandmas for the night.  Nathan got to watch the hockey game with grandpa.  I even called ahead and asked mom if she could make us dinner if we brought her husband home.  She had already made a big pot of spaghetti!   Thankfully mom checked before serving, she put tofu, instead of meat in, the tofu had wheat ;).  Don't tell my dad he thinks he is eating hamburger.  

Sunday comes and my sister in law came up with my niece, so off we drive to Abby to visit for the day.  Kids had a great time in the sun playing at mill lake with their cousin.  

Sunday evening we went to the cultural centre to see an illusionist.  What fun this was, I only wish Jeff was with us as his face when the tricks are done are so great!  I love how it always freaks him out.  Nathan got to go on stage, it was pretty funny.  He changed his number 3 times.   I had my picture removed from my drivers licence.  He did some pretty awesome tricks.  The kids looked at the posters of upcoming shows and picked out a few more they would like to see.  And I noticed one that was on this afternoon that would have been perfect!  It was coast Salish stories for kids!!!!   How did I miss this.  The performers were at the magic show and I talked to them, they said oh we are doing another one tomorow morning for a few schools if you want to come,  but we have our science club!!!  Too bad
