Usually I hate going boxing day shopping, although Zach loves it. But I wanted to go check for keyboards for my new iPad, so we headed over to uptown. Didn't really find anything. And it was way too busy. We walked over to the Walmart in the same complex, but no luck there either. The complex is pretty new, but hasn't changed much since we were there. We went home, picked up my parents, then went to visit my grandfather in hospital.  After that, surpris...

We actually had a good sleep in for once. And because we were a little late getting up and we were going to have a big supper again, we decided to just have a bit of a lunch. Also, because it seemed like the Christmas thing to do (and Zach loved it so much) we went to go feed the ducks again. Zach even fed them by hand. We got a bit muddy again, but it's so worth it to see the duck swarms.  My mum also wanted to go for a bit of a walk, so she drove us near ...

Even though it was Christmas Eve, Zach and I headed downtown for breakfast. We went to Murchie's for a London Fog and a muffin. Zach had a sandwich. I was going to buy a bunch of tea, but I couldn't decide on what I wanted. We wandered around downtown, window shopping. We walked all the way down to the harbour to look at the Empress and the Parliament. It was beautiful in the morning light. Plus there were flowers which makes everything worth it.  We wa...

We lounged around in the morning, but then, before noon, we headed downtown to the fish market. It's not in the harbour, but pretty close by. We got to choose the crabs we wanted for supper. Four beauties fresh caught. In the afternoon Zach had gotten us tickets to see the new Star Wars movie. So, out to Langford to the nice AVX theatre. Good movie. Long movie.  On the way home we did a couple errands, including grabbing some liquor from the little store n...

Didn't actually sleep that late. The first thing Zach and I did was to walk down to Cadboro Bay and look at the beach. It's where we used to live, so it was a little nostalgic seeing together again. We kept asking ourselves why we'd moved back to cold Edmonton. Zach was pretty surprised at how much had been done to fix Gyro park. But the water was still really high up, so we couldn't go for a walk down the beach. The one thing Zach really wanted...
