2010-05-15T11:44:00.000-07:00

So this is how the conversation went on the way home from school one day...

R: I need some money

M: I'll give you some money if you help me organize the playroom

R: NO, that's not what I was thinking

M: What are you thinking

R: I'll think of something

End of conversation

So, we get home and he asks if he can go over to the farm and I say ok, I have to go over in a little bit anyway, and he leaves.

When I walk over to the farm, this is what I find....

Rocco is out on the dock playing music and people in the drive up are giving him money!!!!

When I ask him what he's doing, he says, "I just thought I could play music and people would pay me." AND THEY DID!!!!! He made a few dollars in a 10 minute time span. As the cars would pull up he would follow them while playing his flute in one hand and holding his hat in the other. This kid I tell ya.

We were really lucky to get so close to the whales.

The humpback whales were within 30 yards of us

this is called breaching when they come up and out of the water

this is the splash made after coming up and out of the water. we were so close that it really scared Dominic

two of them traveling together

2 hours of whale watching makes little ones very tired

atleast no one got sea sick

I had the privledge to help do a tree for the Festival of Trees this year. We did it in honor of my girlfriends sister who passed away all to soon from Lou Gherigs Disease. The tree raised thousands of dollars for Primay Children's Hospital. Thank you Kristi for allowing me to be a part of something so special.

In rememberance of Heather
