Saturday!

Today marked the end of dad's vacation out here.  It was really great to have him out here again and I think he had a fun time too.  He was pretty busy almost the whole time so we think it was a good trip.

I woke up a few times this morning when Tyler and Dad started being a little loud. And it was a little after 9 this morning so it was time for me to get up.  I didn't want to miss out on any time with Dad while he was out here.  

Once out of bed, I realized that they had been up to a few things.  Tyler tried to get his buzz bomb from the ocean but wasn't able to in the end.  I guess him and dad both went down to the shore before I got out of bed.  

Dad was starting to make breakfast which was so tasty, but a little salty.  He made bacon and then in the bacon grease, he fried up some fresh cod he was given yesterday.  I didn't have any fish but from the sounds of it, it was really great.

After breakfast, we sat around and just talked some more.  We talked about a bunch of things but I can't really remember them.  It was a nice long talk though.  It's always nice to spend quality time with family.

And soon enough, it was time to drive to the airport.  We packed up Dad's things into the car and headed out.  Once Dad checked into his flight, we waited around a while to see him off.  There was a little boy who was standing beside Tyler and when his mom told him to sit down, he looked at Tyler with this scared little boy look and said that he didn't want to sit by Tyler.  It was funny.  The flight was delayed so we decided to take off before Dad got on the plane.  We hugged and said out goodbyes.  It was really great to have him out here.  

We drove back home and on the way, we stopped for groceries.  Unfortunately our list was pretty bare as we are getting less and less inspired for dinner ideas.  And Klemtu had been there earlier and cleared out all the good stuff.  I hate when they come to town.  They always take all the milk and dairy so there is nothing left for Bella Bella.  

And then we came home.  We heard a number of different planes fly in but we never heard the one Dad was supposed to be on.  We don't know what time he actually flew out of here but I hope he wasn't at the airport for long.  That's never fun and there isn't anything to do at our little airport.  We do know he missed his connecting flight and will be arriving home a little later then he planned.  It was really awesome having him out here.  Now there is less then 2 weeks until we are home again and having Dad out here makes it seem like it's going quicker.  And that's really awesome!!!

Our afternoon has been filled with nothing much.  We ate lunch and dinner.  I took a nap on the couch for an hour while Tyler played some Wii.  He also studied a bit.  It was business as usual.  Work tried to call me in but I said no.  I have to work on Monday and I didn't want guarding messing up my sleep schedule.

We are just finishing up The Lord of the Rings.  It will be early to bed for us tonight.  We are both pretty tired and looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning.  Tyler will be on call until we come home so it's going to be a long few weeks for him.  

It's been a really great time having Dad out here.  I hope he gets home safe and sound and I look forward to coming home again in a few weeks.
