Baseball, Birthday parties and Freedom

This weekend was like every other weekend around here. BUSY! Saturday Regan and I watched my other ball team "Buzz the Tower" play ball, then we were off to do some shopping, Birthday party, then BBQ and margaritas. Sunday, Regan went to his dad's and I went to watch some ball and take some more photos. Well that ended up with me playing ball...uggh! It was too hot to be playing but it was FUN! We lost in the "A" Final but for a throw together team, we did awesome.

During the day 3 F-18 fighter jets were doing fly by's, manuevors, and circling the diamonds. My friend Knox (Krista) made mention how we are fortunate to have the freedom where we do not have to hear the sounds of a fighter planes overhead every day. For us it's a novelty to see them or witness them fly over our city. The thought of living like so many in war ravaged Afghanistan or any other war torn country is unfathomable. For many to enjoy the simple freedoms of being able to play baseball, to celebrate a birthday party is probably unheard of. But living in fear of when that next bomb will drop or implode and fear if they step wrong they may not see tomorrow. And as I sat here tonight, uploading photos of the weekend's festivities, sitting in my house, watching tv and eating a bowl of lucky charms it struck me even more how lucky we as Canadians are.
