Arrrrrgooooosss

We headed down to the Rogers Centre to watch the Argos take on the Montreal Alouettes. The game was a McMaster Alumni event. We went down with our friends from university Stam and Brenda and their daughter Kira. We met them at Union Station.

Waiting...

Part of our ticket price included an on field "tour" before the game, a pizza slice/drink, and autograph session after the game. By tour they mean the depths of the Skydome, once on the field we were able to walk around the edge and then we entered our seats from the field. The autograph session after the game was open to everyone.

The girls got a cardboard football helmet.

We were at the Alouette end of the field.

Some of the game action. It was close in the first half. But then the Alouettes pulled away in the second half to win 27-8.

The announced attendance was 26,828.

Pinball Clemons was behind the Peanut Free Suite.

Can you see the girls down on the field.

"C" for Claudia!

We had a good time at the game. It was good to hang out with Stam and Brenda, we haven't seen them for awhile. The girls can now say they have been to a football game.

Chloe Practicing

Chloe has been practicing for Halloween.

Return From Camp

Angela and Claudia went camping with Guides this weekend. They are now in the same group, so that makes it a little easier on us (actually Susan) for meetings and camps. Here are the two of them airing out their bedrolls after coming home from camp.

Their camp was at Camp Wyoka, so they were sleeping indoors.

Chloe Update

It's been awhile since we have done a Chloe update. She is still growing and keeping us busy.

She loves playing with her margarine container. She is getting better with the shoes, we don't have to hide them in the closet as often.

She is going to the groomers next week and then the week after she is going in to get spayed.

Happy Halloween

Chloe was looking out the window waiting for kids to come to the door. 

See Angela in the window.

The three girls ready to go out.

Chloe didn't keep her skirt on very long.

We only had about 20 kids come to the door. The girls and I went around the neighbourhood and they got a lot of "take what you want, we haven't had very many kids".
