Science World

As the winter rains arrive, Sarah (Sweet) Hart , Jeremy, and I visit Science World... give the old folks a chance to learn some stuff.
Like how I'm 8 feet tall...


And have a 200 km/h slap shot...

and that, with a hammer, I'm faster than a speeding bullet...

and don't mess with me when I have a canon...

... the energy coursing through my veins...

that Sarah's too big to fit in a box...

and how good things come to those that give me cookies and hot chocolate!

Blast and Crash, Part II

We played with Hot Wheels Blast and Crash again today... (We're not sponsored by the way.) Anyways, Jeremy won 7-4 but that's ok because I beat him the last time and the last few times we played soccer, and at just about everything else we've done for that matter! Watch the 20-second video that we took:

Squamish Chief

With the Grouse Grind under his belt, Isaac took on the mighty Chief of Squamish. Yep, he's gonna hike to the very top of the cliff (by the trail around the back side).Here's the start... Notice the warning below the word "Caution"... "This is not a walk in the Park!" Does Isaac's expression sum it up, or what?!
With all the fitness that he gained by hiking the Grouse Grind, the Chief trail was no match... sprinting up the stairs (time: 3 min).
Near the top, there was even a ladder to climb. Time: 50 min.
Then open granite climbing. Time: 55 min.
The final approach to the summit with views of Howe Sound and Highway 99 from Vancouver. Time 1 h, 5 min
And the top! Time 1 h, 7 min. That's 16 minutes faster than the Grouse Grind. And he did it without a break this time (at age 8)!

Canadians Baseball

Went to see the Vancouver Canadians play baseball. The good guys are in red. It just wouldn't be a ball game without...
COTTON CANDY!!!

gettin' energized!

Lego Star Wars & Hot Wheels

Today, we decided to build a Star Wars Lego space ship. There were about a million pieces.

Here I'm putting the window on. Anakin sits in here.
Now its got the boosters on. It flies on its own!Done! Pretty cool eh?!
Then we played with Hot Wheels. Blast and Crash! See my cars smashing into the driving one?
Carnage!

Grouse Grind

All fired up, Isaac begins the notorious sweaty Grouse Grind on the North Shore. 2800 vertical feet to go and 3 minutes in, Isaac begins asking "are we almost there?"
Half-way of "2/4" in 45 minutes, still trucking along.


Pulling out all the stops, climbing on all fours. 50 minutes along.


Very nearly there... 1 hour and 12 minutes from the bottom.

Tada! 1 hour and 23 minutes... he sped up on the second half! Isaac sends the Grouse Grind at age 8. Next year, he's going to do it even faster.

Pizza Dough

One day, Isaac decided to make pizza for dinner. First, he needed to make the dough. In the end, he did more playing with the dough than kneading. The pizza turned out fine and tasty nonetheless.
