Nice double bridge I built with my son, showing off part of his Lego inventory. Kapla is very educating for a 4 year old.

The weather was great: a lot of sun with a nice breeze. The first picture is not as sharp as I wanted it to be, but I like the framing.

Today was the first time I went for a run with the babyjogger with my 7 months old daughter in it. The weather was great: 23 degrees with mild clouds and a little wind. She had a lot of fun, as had I. This was also the first time I used my new iPhone 3GS to track the map using InstaMapper. InstaMapper is a free tool that sends waypoints periodically to the InstaMapper server. Below 120 seconds between updates it keeps the gps on, over that time it turns the gps off. It won't send an update until the configured accuracy is reached. This time I used 100 meters and 60 seconds. When the gps stays on InstaMapper claims that it will drain the battery in 5 hours. On the InstaMapper website you can make a track from a series of waypoints which you can than export or share with the world. Until Posterous supports .KML files the following map is created with an iframe to InstaMapper.

Today was the second edition of a long, to be standing, tradition. A neighborhood BBQ for a big part of our street. Maybe street BBQ is a better term? Where we had beautiful weather last year, this year we were in doubt. We did the preparation, building the tents and everything, in very heavy rain. The wind even teared a hole in the green tent in the picture. We had to secure the bouncer to keep it from blowing away.

After these preparations I did a 10k run to pick up the sun. From the moment I got back we enjoyed a nice sunny weather. All the kids where playing on the street which was closed for traffic and the adults couldn't resist the bouncer. After a nice meal with a lot of meat we put the kids to bed and gathered together round a fire for some after-drinking. Some even tried to play the guitar.

Around midnight we cleared everything, put the tents back in the boxes and moved to our beds. Plans are already made for next year.

A couple of weeks ago we had a company weekend in a very child friendly park in Belgium. I have been playing with the kids in the megapool and the also mega internal playground. While a lot of my colleagues had flying lessons that weekend I had the most comfortable 737 ever!
