Well the last couple days have been busy here in Indy. Sunday we went to church at Trinity Wesleyan and saw a few people that went to church there when I lived here years ago. Most people I knew then though have moved away or are going to different churches now. Sunday afternoon Mom cooked a big lunch and we sat around and relaxed. Dad and I went out to rent a movie at Blockbuster but did not have a membership. Dad tried to get a membership but the guy there would not give him one since he did not have a Indiana drivers licence so the guy would not give him one! We left and came home without a movie. I called a different Blockbuster up the road and told them what happened and they told me to come right over and get a membership. So we ended up getting a movie after all. We watched The Ex. Not bad but not as funny as I thought it would be.

Well today Lisa, the kids, and I met up with Carlie White (a friend from Canada) at the Children’s Museum. She was down visiting her mom her in Indy. So we had to drive two days to see Carlie even though she only lives a little lover an hour away! Well the Children’s Museum has changed a lot since I had been there last. But that was at least 12 years ago. The museum was a lot of fun. Maddie had a great time running around all over the place and playing with all the different things there. After having lunch at Steak and Shake with Carlie we dropped her off at her mom’s house and went to Keystone at the Crossing. For those who have not been to Indy it is a very expensive mall. I have not been many other places where you really have to be rich to shop there. It was fun walking around to all the different stores. The one store I really liked was the Apple store. All that equipment in one place. I wanted to buy one of everything but Lisa would not let me. Why is it my eh design website looks so much better on a 24″ iMac??? Hopefully someday I will be able to afford one. We then came home and had another big meal tonight. Dad and I then when over to HQ and I hooked up his speakers for his computer. They are loud enough I think they could her him on the third floor on the other side of the building.

Tomorrow I am having lunch with Jon Steppe and then I am not sure what we are doing in the afternoon. I think I might take Lisa shopping since she needs some clothes. Mom and dad are out for supper tomorrow night so I think we might rent another movie. I want to see Wild Hogs. Maybe if I am good Lisa will let me rent it….

Yesterday Jenny and Andrew Walker plus Lisa, Maddie and I went on a day trip to the Fundy Trail Parkway. We left a little after 11 AM and did not get home until 8:30 PM! It was a perfect day. Clear sunny and not too cold. We had a picnic lunch on top of a big hill overlooking the bay. While we were up there we saw a lookout lower down on the next hill over. We decided to hike down to that overlook because none of us had been down there before. Well will did not find the lookout but ended up down the bottom of a steep hill and three flights of stairs in a little cove. The tide was high but going out so we were able to walk around there. Andy and I went across a little stream and climbed up on some rocks and explored around. Jenny was nice enough to take some photos of Lisa, Maddie and I there. Well when it was time to leave Andy and I carried the stroller up the stairs and then Lisa and I took turn pushing the stroller up the hill. We then went to the end of the Parkway and went across the suspension bridge there and visited the interpretative center. On the way out of the Parkway we decided to eat at The Caves Restaurant. After that Andy and I decided to explore the sea cave right next to the restaurant. Good thing I had my sandals on. There was a stream we had to cross to get to it. So Andy hopped on my back and I carried him across. On the way back there were some BBC students walking up and saw me carrying him and they all though it was very funny. After that we drove around and saw the lighthouse in St. Martin’s. Then headed home. It was a great fall day and we can’t wait until spring for the Parkway to open again. Enjoy the photos!

Well it had been since July 1st since Lisa or myself updated this thing called a blog. Lisa and Maddie are gone for a few days to visit family in Bristol and left me all alone here in Sussex. So what is a guy supposed to do when he is all alone? Work? Never! I took a road trip to Halifax yesterday with Matt Valentini and met up with Dean Landry while we were in town. We went to MicMac Mall, (Dean found a pair of shoes after looking for a whole year) MEC (great store and online/catalog store for outdoor stuff - buy a membership!), and drove around Halifax. For supper we ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut. It was only a take out store so we headed off to find a place to eat after geting it. We ended up sitting on some bleachers watching two soccor games going on while we ate. On the way back to drop off Dean in Eastern Passage we stopped on the Dartmough waterfront and took some photos of Halifax at night. It was a fun day and a great way to wind down after a long work week. I am looking forward to taking another trip sometime soon… more on that later if it pans out.

If everyone has not heard the news yet I have a new url: www.4wilsons.com! Yes it is confirmed Lisa is prengnat again. She is due April 30, 2007. That would make Maddie and the new baby 1 year an 28 days apart. So stay posted, more to come… and ultrasound photos when we have them done.

Well we survived the day without any problems. Maddie is fast asleep. I think we wore her out walking all over town. We did a lot today. Too much to write about now. Just sit back and enjoy the photos…

Well Lisa, Maddie and I are in Halifax for the long weekend. This is going to be our summer vacation this year. We drove up from Sussex today and got here around 1:30 in the afternoon. We picked up Dean Landry at Dal and went out to lunch at Wendy’s. After that we went to the Halifax Shopping Center and there was not much going on there. So we went to our hotel to check in. We arrived at the hotel and the bellhop came out got our bags and we even used valet parking! It is extra money for that, but where the hotel is downtown I like the fact they park the car in a secure location. While we were checking in I turned around and Chris Stephens is standing behind us! Three Season Ant is in town to play a couple nights at a pub right next our hotel. Small world. So we then walked around the boardwalk a little bit, and then walked back up the pub where they were playing and had supper there. Before we listed the to band Chris held Maddie for awhile. I think he is missing his little guy. I offered to let him take Maddie for the night but he wouldn’t go for it. After listening to a few songs Maddie wanted to go. We then grabbed the car and went over to the MicMac Mall and went shopping. We walked around and visited a few different stores but spent most of our time in Zeller’s of all places. I know there is one in Sussex, but the one here is two stories tall. It really is a nice store. We then drove Dean home to Eastern Passage and came back to the hotel. All in all it is has been a good day and Maddie handled all the travelling well. Hopefully tomorrow she will be happy for Canada Day. I am going to take lots of photos tomorrow. So don’t forget to visit the blog again!
