Our Year to Date June

The first weekend of June included a Family Beaver Camping trip to Camp Gibson. Unfortunately MommyJ could not spend the night but did spend the day times at camp with everyone. The highlights of the camping trip were; seeing all of the Beavers (and MommyJ with BabyJ in the backpack) repel down the cliff to the Ghost River and realizing that I do love camping setting off the 4J's & 4W's Family Camping bug.....

Then there was BeaverJ's Kindergarten Graduation on June 15th. It seems like just yesterday he was born, I can not believe that he is already graduating kindergarten! Needless to say there were some teary eyes from me as we watched him sing, recite poetry in French and demonstrate improved co-ordination skills. Despite an exceptionally difficult year with his teacher BeaverJ has excelled in French Immersion. Here are the pictures from his graduation ceremonies:

BabyJ has been busy supervising our landscapers, there are hundreds of hours of fun in watching a bobcat and playing with her new favourite toy the water table.

After the first MommyJ camping adventure to Beaver Flats west of Elbow Falls we returned to Calgary for a most exciting evening. MommyW and I managed to be invited to spend An Evening with Robert F. Kennedy Jr at the Allstream Global Forum. This event was held at the Hyatt in downtown Calgary. The food was outstanding, location lovely and the speaker was Charismatic, Exciting, Interesting, and Genuine. It made me want to improve the world, it gave me little tasks that I could do to improve the world, and showed us the terrible mistakes being made by our closest neighbours who's footsteps we should not follow in. Should any of you ever have the opportunity to hear Robert Kennedy Jr. speak I implore you to go, he is OUTSTANDING!
