Sign the last long weekend of the summer has passed and while I enjoyed myself, frankly this summer sucked as it was went and cold. Still we made the best of it and I’m glad to share all the happy moments with my family. 🙂 On Friday I went to the range with Andrew, it was his first time so he enjoyed himself and it as fun to get some trigger time in as well.
Saturday was a Pokemon Go day, Derek called me at 7:15 in the morning since he guess I’d be up (he was right) and asked if I wanted to go raiding with the guys who looped all night, Brandon didn’t have swimming or badminton so we figure why not and headed down early. Met up with some of the guys then hit a bunch of raids downtown, before all was said and done I think we did 15 boss raids in like 4 hours. I dropped Matt & Simon off so they could sleep (they went all night) then met up with the crew at 3pm to play more.
We have a really close community of players and I really enjoy the social aspect of things, after raiding I went downtown to loop so I could grind XP for Brandon. Want to get him to level 40 (max level) and downtown is the best place to do it.
Sunday the family went to Blue Mountain, initially we wanted to hike we did walk around quite a bit but took in the activities too.
The roller coaster thing was a lot of fun but I was most proud of Brandon when we went on the Woodlot obstacle course. Consisting of two levels (the upper one is like 15-20′ in the air), Brandon was really scared at points but with some gentle encouragement he pushed himself and completed everything. 😀 Many of the kids his age was afraid too but hey they all got through it.
After lunch we went did a paddle boat around the small pond and he enjoyed himself, Maggie didn’t want to come so she stayed at the doc. It rained slightly on and off but nothing too bad so we didn’t bother to seek shelter.
I took a nap when we returned and at 8:45pm went down to loop again with my Pokemon friends.
One of the members of my group was close to hitting level 40 (max level) and reached that goal at 1:30am in the morning. While Brandon didn’t level up, we did net him an extra 650-700k xp and he’s more than half way to 39 now. Soon he’ll be the youngest level 40 player in the world and that’ll be pretty awesome.
Today we didn’t do much had lunch in China town at a restaurant that Maggie and I ate at a lot when we were younger and that was nice. Then we dropped off something at a friend’s house and drove through an area we lived at previously so it was nice to reminisce about the past, my god where time go.
Too bad the long weekend is over, still the summer was great and tomorrow it’s a big day for Brandon, he’s going into grade 2 my little angel. 😀
