Vancouver Car & Truck show

Last night my brother Kev and I went to the car and truck show in Vancouver. It's become our annual tradition to do together. As always, there was lots to see. Here are a few pics. I know Kev will have great pics, but here are a few that I took.

Another day at Cultus!

We spent the afternoon at Cultus Lake, the water was pretty cold for swimming so we paddled around in the boat. We had lots of fun, cruising around, bouncing over the waves from several ski boats that came close by.

Scott saw a stick floating out by one of the swimming area buoy markers and wanted to pick it up and bring it back to shore. So he grabbed it and noticed fishing line was tied on it, so pretended he was fishing. I jokingly told him to keep his eyes alert for any fish jumping at the end of his line. About 5 to 10 min later as we headed back to shore, he yelled that a fish jumped!! I didn't see it but I heard the splash! I told him to "reel" in his line and as he did we realized that he did have a fish on! I grabbed the stick and tried to "reel" this fish in, got it close up to the boat and let Scott hold his "fishing rod" while Sarah took a few pics.







Scott was super excited and proud of his very first fish. I finally managed to get the hook out of its mouth and then we let it go. The poor fish was winded after being caught and dragged along behind our boat... not sure how long he was there.

All in all, we had a great day at the lake and came home with fish story that we will never forget!

Go Jump in a Lake!

Mission Raceway

Tonight I took the boys out to Mission Raceway for the Street Legal Drags. We had a good time, but I realized that I need to take my boys to more races so they can learn their cars and some race etiquette! They really need to stop calling every red car a Corvette... it's embarrassing when they call a Cavalier a Corvette.

Celebrating my life!

Today is an extra special day for me. 19 years ago today I was in a car accident that has forever changed my life. For many years my life was full of severe chronic pain, surgeries, Dr. visits, countless hours of physiotherapy and trying every alternative remedy out there to ease my pain.

But since 1997 this has been a day to celebrate new life. I have been pain-free since then and able to work and live a normal life again. I thank God everyday for a pain-free body and the new life He has given me.

So to celebrate this weekend, I went golfing with my brother and the Zach cousins yesterday. We had an awesome time... just too bad that we all forgot cameras! Today, I celebrated with my wife and kids, and my brother and his family walking through the Othello Tunnels near Hope, BC.
