The Wedding Weekend - Joash Style

Since Joash did not have a job at this wedding, he had lots of free time to do many things.

Joash loved that we spent a lot of our time at a farm. The reception was held at Karisa's family farm. When we first pulled up and got Joash out of the car, he looked around and acted his usual bashful self. But, soon he spotted some cows, shouted out the word cows, and got down and went to give them some hay. He spend a lot of time taking hay from bales that were being used as seating and bringing it to the cows.
He also tried to feed the farm dog hay and liked to show us all what the dog does with her tongue.
 When we had a bit of down time, the front desk at our hotel told us about this great park in the area, so we went to check it out. It was great! The park was split into two sections, one for older kids and one for kids about Joash's age. He loved it! He drove a truck with dad...
 And played with all sort of fun things in this big sandbox they had.
 And, being in the Olympic spirit, he did his best balance beam walk.
Here is Joash showing his enthusiasm for the Olympics and snacks at the hotel. Notice how his outfit allows him to cheer for both the American and Canadian teams.

 During the wedding, Joash sat with me in the front row. I was very glad Tiffany was with us because she was Joash's favourite person of the day. At the reception, Joash cheered and clapped loudly when everyone else clapped. He also rang the bell for a kiss.

The next day we helped with clean-up. Joash was especially helpful when it came to taking apart the dance floor. The guys took all of the screws out and Joash helped pick them up and put them in  a jar. He took his job very seriously.

Overall, Joash did great on the trip, but I don't think we will be taking any longer road trips until he is bit a older.

Emissary by Thomas Locke

When you open the pages of Emissary by Thomas Locke, you enter a world quite different from our own. Magic is practised, but only in certain places and ways. There are legends and myths of what happened thousands of years ago. And a dark, evil force is slowly threatening the peace this world has known for the last thousand years. And the one person who may have the answer to it all is an unlikely hero named Hyam. As a child, Hyam studied in the Long Hall with the magicians who know and practice magic. His gift was to be able to learn languages with an astounding speed. Yet, he was dismissed from the hall and only returned when his mother begged him too on her death bed.
