With some help from the Wii, Lucas has fallen in love with the game of golf.  One of the guys at work gave him a putter that was just about perfect for his size.  I took him up to one of the local golf courses for some time on the practice putting and chipping green.  Since this was his first trip to the "Big Golf Course" I brought the camera with us and took some pictures.  We must have spent about two hours on the course and chipping balls around.  It was a good time and Lucas is looking forward to his next trip.

It's hard to believe Carol and I have been married 5 years already.  Tonight we dropped off the kids and spent the evening together.  We started with a wonderful dinner at Larkin's By the River in downtown Greenville.  After dinner, the restaurant gave us a surprise gift of dessert.  We polished off the dessert and decided we weren't ready to go home yet.  So we were off to Frankie's Fun Park for some video game and batting cage fun.  It just doesn't seem right to be dressed up for dinner and wear a batting helmet, but we had a great time.

Carol took the kids and her Grandma to meet with some friends in the park.  From the pictures it looks like everyone had a good time.  Marialice loves the swings.

Carol took Lucas to music class today and snapped a couple of pictures of Marialice both waiting for him to finish and playing in class with him.  I thought I would share.

Tonight we decided to go out for some wild game at Saskatoon.  The restaurant is awesome and the food is amazing.  You wouldn't think that kangaroo and elk could taste that good.  Here are a few pictures from the evening.

Marialice started using her fork all by herself today so we had to take a few pictures of her eating her breakfast.  These kids are growing way too fast....

Carol's grandmother came into town yesterday from Brazil.  She will be staying a couple months but we thought we should welcome her to the U.S. so we took her out to Wild Wing Cafe in downtown Greenville.  I snapped a few pictures while we were there.  Here are a few of the best ones.

Our vacation has come to an end so it was time to fly home.  On the way home we caught some cute pictures of the kids killing time on the flight.

After we got back from the cruise we were able to spend a couple days in Florida and visit with friends and family we haven't seen in a while.  We had dinner with Gus and Casey and the kids and Lee joined us.  There are also some pictures of Danny mixed in here because Leona and Brian were kind enough to open their home to us and let us crash there.  Here are a few pictures from our reunion.
