On Friday January 2, we went to the CN tower. We waited in line for the glass elevator. We were the first ones in. As the elevator went up, I took a look at the view down below me. It was cool.

We went to the Horizons restaurant for lunch. I ordered steak with french fries, and chatted with Alastair and Jim. After that, we went around the tower to see the glass floor.

We took a Vine video of me on the glass floor and also took one of mom jumping on it.

We also went outside on the outer deck and took pictures. That was a very cold blast of wind up there. We had a great time! Thanks to Jim and Wendy!

This just in: Here’s a film that I created in Frames 5 at school.

(NOTE: Jon created another stop-motion animated film, this time in his media arts course at school. Time to use his iPad to do some animated home movies! – L)

Update: Here’s the making of video.

I won this award by showing lots of passion for my science course at school. I also worked very hard and got a high mark. I hope I can work hard, so I can get more school awards.

I VOTED!

(To avoid crowds we went to the advance poll for this interminable municipal election. This was Jon’s first experience voting since he turned 18 a month ago, and it went smoothly—despite the fact that the volunteer didn’t seem totally clear on how to use the assistive equipment. Afterward, Jon was quite chuffed with having done his civic duty, as can be seen in the photo.—L)
