But the moon was out loud and clear.
And this is some relatively old news, but it was amazing none-the-less. Dev rolled a perfect game of Wii bowling with me, Jason and Trevor. 
We've had the Wii for quite a while and this was the first time anyone hit a perfect game. So Dev can rest knowing that the top score will never be topped. We went literally wild shouting and cheering and "high-five"-ing. It was something to behold. Congrats.
Not sure if the pics will show up too clearly, but they look good when enlarged. I bet I was a bout four feet away at one point.
Here's the entire gang on our housewarming/Halloween party. Looks like a zoo, but it was really only this crowd for a little while. Dressing up was obviously a bigger thing for some of us.
Here are Mike and Mike. If you haven't seen the Saturday night live skit where Justin Timberlake does this Dick-in-a-box video that is terribly funny. That's what Mr. Rennick and Mr. Barry are doing.
This is a little better shot so you can see what's happening. Too funny. They out some effort into this get-up.
Here's little Kai. Al and Brandy's baby. I put this up mostly because Sarah always has a million babies on her blog.... but he's cool.
Kev had us all in stitches when he called the Wendy's help-line to see how best to clean up a pop spill on the floor in the garage. I do have to admit I was responsible so I couldn't yell at anyone. We didn't really know that this was a gangster/flapper type party with all of Sheck's family etc. Yipes.
We hit the dollar store and bought moustaches for that party and for actual Halloween.
Marc and Alaina came by on the 23rd too. Nowhere to sit yet as you can see. But it was cool to have my dad around that afternoon working with Dev. Then the boys came by, and Alaina. Then Uncle Wal even made it for a beer in the garage on the very first night we had the house.
I think this was on the 23rd also. We get right down to it. Big job, but it's been a lot of fun to be honest.
This would be when Trevor got his big bread truck on Saturday the 24th and dad had burger's ready for us when we were done. Not a moment too soon, but they were awesome.
There's Bobby Harris and his boy. Hadn't had the pleasure of meeting Leyland. I hope that's how you spell it. He was such a cute little guy. This was just a few minutes after he licked the tires on the big truck.
And there she is in all her glory. That was so nice of Trev to help us with that. It wouldn't have happened as smoothly as it did if I didn't have these friends to help with all the stuff. So things have started to settle down and I will try to keep things a little more up-to-date
The backyard with a huge fire pit. May have to "remember, remember the 5th of November" and celebrate Guy Fawkes night in style in our new backyard.
And these next three images are pictures of a totally separate basement suite. I don't know if we'll look for a tenant right away, but it would sure help to bring in a little extra cash. Needs a little bit of work, but it's actually quite a nice one bedroom apartment really.
Here's the basement. I think they did a pretty nice job with the colour selection.
Another look at the basement. I know it's hard to visualize the layout, but I am sure you can get an idea.
And my personal favourite - the spiral staircase. Apparently the lady told Devyn there was s salesman that went through the neighbourhood in the '70's or '80's selling these particular staircases. There's quite a few houses on the street with these silly things.
The stairs are right in the front of the house as you walk in the front door. One of those unique little quirks that I think we'll grow to love in the place.
Here's the living room as you walk in the front door.
Little dining area off the kitchen.
The kitchen. Totally upgraded, with a crazy tap. Not sure if you can really see it.
Another angle of the kitchen.
Here I am being a little silly, but those are the jaws of a dinosaur. Yipes!
I loved the look of these things. I sometimes like doing jigsaw puzzles,and couldn't stop thinking about finding these bones laying in the dirt and piecing them together to come up with this. Amazing really.
I am not sure any sci-fi writer could dream up anything as scary as this one. Look at the skull on it!!!! I'm glad I wasn't around to see these dinos running around. We may not be at the top of the food chain if the dinosaurs were still kicking.
The museum had three tanks in this wall. One had a fish we still can see in our rivers called a Sturgeon. They have spines on them and I've often thought they looked somewhat pre-historic. Well these things were some kind of Mexican fish that had legs. Hahahah The name started with an "A" but I can't remember what it is. They are just hideous.
We don't get to see each other often enough, but we get lots of time together at the FF. Craig Metcalfe was in town from Toronto. He's seeking shelter under Dev's scarf. Jeff Stuart beside him.
Devyn was worried about a sunburn as usual, butt his time went to great lengths to avoid it.
We also had a great time with Carly. Laughing as always.
And here are the Hawaiian dudes, Hal and Uncle Garry.
This was a suspension bridge that took you across the river toward an abandoned coal mine. I was diligent in reading ALL of the plaques and signs.
This is the river that we walked across on the suspension bridge...... also the river that ran along our campground. We bought some really sweet inflatable little raft thingies and they were so awesome!!!! We would float down and walk up along a sand bar, then float down again. It was perfect.
Something is out of sequence it appears. This is back to the old coal mine. It looked like a western movie. I can hear Ennio Morricone and Clint Eastwood in those spaghetti westerns of the 70's.
And Sarah, here are the hoodoos. It was crazy busy so we didn't get any better shots. Oh well.
