We are in Indy!
7:14 pm, August 25th, 2007Well the whole family is on vacation this week. Lisa, Maddie Jack and I drive down from Sussex to Indy in two days. Not a bad drive at all. The kids were great about 98% of the time. A lot better then we thought they would be. So in the last week I feel I have been all over the place. I was in Newfoundland for a wedding, worked two days and then drove here. I will write more about Newfoundland later when I get the photos in order to put on here.
For our first full day here we went to the Indianapolis Zoo. I think Lisa was more excited than the kids to go. It was a really nice day and not to hot. Tomorrow we are going to church at Trinity Wesleyan where I used to go to church when I lived here years ago. Other than that we are going to go to the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Children’s Museum and shopping sometime. It should be a fun filled week. Stay tuned for more!
I do not have my own computer with me so these photos may not look that great…
It’s Been Awhile…

Fundy Trail Parkway
9:23 pm, October 8th, 2006Yesterday 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!
Halifax and Back in one day…
6:31 pm, September 17th, 2006Well 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.
