While I wasn’t able to play airsoft with my boys on Saturday I still had an excellent weekend. Things started early on Saturday, Brandon likes trains so I figured I’d take him on the TTC so he can ride the subway. It was very cute but he definitely didn’t like it and at every stop little B wanted to get off. Instead of riding the subway downtown as originally planned we went from Don Mills to Sheppard and back, then met up with Maggie and her mom at Fairview.
After a bit of shopping we decided to go for lunch and I got my favorite, won ton noodles yum! Later I decided to go to Toronto Airsoft, Maggie was encouraging me to buy a gun the last couple of days and while I was hesitant I eventually succumbed to temptation. After all it’s not every day that she tells me I should buy a gun. 🙂 I was a bit torn at what to get but eventually I picked up a King Arms M4A1, initially I wanted to get the nylon body RIS version but I figure for $40 more I could get one full metal M4 though I’d have to add the rail system on later.
It certainly feels like a solid gun, hopefully my search for a good loaner AEG will finally be over. I took a lot of pictures of the thing and will post a review on it shortly, after I get a new spring to swap out as it’s shooting ~410 fps right now.
In the middle of the afternoon Maggie and her mom went out so it was just Brandon and I, the weather was nice so I took him out to the playground as it’s been a while since we’ve been there.
There weren’t many kids out so B had the pick of the playground and I love hearing him laugh as it’s so sweet. 🙂 The last picture is one taken later at home, I thought it was cute because he’s always happy.
After Brandon went to bed Maggie came down, we looked at our finances once again and I’m happy to report that I’m on my way to be in a position to buy a Porsche 911 in a few years. 🙂 Not the most exciting way to end the day but I had a lot of fun.
Today things were a lot more low key, my folks, grandma, Estelle & Imran and Megan & Frank came over for lunch, they wanted to get me something but I told them to buy Brandon something instead. He’s my son and I love it when people pay a lot of attention to him. 😉 Anyway the gift they got us was a very cool keyboard playmat, needless to say since it makes sounds Brandon loved it! I can also see me hating it in the future haha, it’s fun but um can get pretty annoying too.
Unfortunately he was so worked up by the guests that he didn’t nap in the afternoon but I have a feeling he’ll be checking out early tonight which is nice too. Anyway that’s all she wrote to my birthday weekend, no shooting but i had a ton of fun and love spending time with my family. I do feel pretty fortunate to have what I have, Maggie and I worked hard for it but ya things have gone very well.
I took tomorrow off for good measure as nothing is more fun than a long weekend right.
