Family: Happy 1st BC Family Day!

What a way to celebrate our first Family Day in BC... It was grey and wet... but then again, what do you expect from the west coast? ;)

I showed my little boy how to knit with needles this morning and then I had to go get ready for our outing into downtown. When I had returned from getting ready, it turns out he had undone some of the knitting and needed/wanted some help with it. So he asked daddy to help him...

Now there are some dads out there that would have said to him, "Calm down and wait until mommy comes back" OR just plain... "Sorry, I can't help you. I don't know how."

But no... Not my darling husband (and this is why I love him so... ~.^)  He decided to go and find a youtube video on how to knit, watch it several times, learn how to do a "long-tail cast on" and the basic knit stitch so that he could try to figure out how help... all in about 30-45 minutes. I mean... Wow! I came downstairs and stood there and watched him learn to knit so that he could help our son... *bowing*

Then we all sat there in the living-room relaxing... and knitting. It was such a wonderful feeling to all be doing something together. ^.^

Of course now that my husband was understanding how knitting works... he started analyzing all this sweaters. It's so cool and fun to watch! :D

Then we headed downtown, checked out the "Family Day" festivities, then took a drive, came home and relaxed after quite an eventful day... *sigh*

Happy BC Family Day!

*hugs*
