Bar-B-Q season!

Hi all!

First of all, I want to say that we had another babynus3D scan. It was a quicker scan, but there are about the same number of pictures. Baby was sucking his thumb, and wasn't hiding from the camera.

I've added the pictures to the same collection as the first lot. They're on my public picasa page. You could go there now to see them, or you could just watch this slide show...



If you want to see some video, give me a shout! I'll put it up if I see enough calls, otherwise, I'll just send some out to the most vocal.

However, as suggested by the title of the post, we've officially entered BARBECUE SEASON!!! The rule still stands, the barbecue cook can't go without a beer. But they really know how to barbecue here, I mean they can cook STEAK (Medium-rare please :P) on their barbecues.

First one was at Travis' place. With his dog, Bunker, and wife Calleen, he showed the hospitality that the Maritimers are renowned for. This is also where I got to see GTA IV for the first (and so far, only) time. We've decided that it's too bad for Chris, and it's rated M for Mature, so he's got no argument. We didn't let him play San Andreas for ages. Later that night, Chris sneaked down to see the guys playing GTA IV. Justin turned it off before it got too nasty!
We also got to play Mario Kart Wii and Rock Band, on Super Huge screens! They were great fun. The guitar's pretty easy (if you can play guitar, which I, well... see Red Dwarf). The drums are well 'ard!

The second was at Owen's. We decided we would leave early from it, as Mel and Chris are not well acquainted with the people from the company, and we thought Chris might get bored, I might rupture something (I've strained my inguinal ligament, but I'm feeling better now), and Mel might collapse with the heat. We did have a good laugh, though.
  • Gordon said that we should be out climbing trees, then decided that climbing trees was actually quite a good idea.
  • Beep made Mojitos.
  • Mick told everyone that they were great!
  • Mick tried to get Chris to take a drink :)
  • Tequila shots!
  • Mel was allergic to the boxer dog, Lennox.
  • Chris was playing Burnout on a DS.
  • "You have the hands of a programmer, sir!"
  • There was more food than we could all eat!
  • The company paid for it all!
    • the food
    • the drink
    • the taxis home
