March Break and More...

We had a very low key March break. The kids went swimming, had a pj day, went hiking, played hours of lego, built volcanos and went to the zoo. All it all it was fun and a much needed break for all of us from the regular routine.

Ryan's parents came for a weekend in March.  It is always lovely when they come and the kids love spending time with their grandparents. We went to the Aquarium and CN tower with them.

For a special treat, this past Friday Jared and I picked Micah up from school after lunch for a playdate at  Skyzone (indoor trampoline park). I had taken Jared a few weeks ago for toddler time and he was eager to to go back with Micah. For the first 30 minutes we basically had to whole place to ourselves. It was so much fun for all of us and we decided that next time we need to bring Ryan too :)

This weekend was the last weekend for the local Maple festivals, so we headed over to Bonte Creek for our March tradition.

A True Canadian Winter

We got lovely snow this year and were able to take full advantage of all the activities that winter brings. We were able to go out skiing four times this year and Micah took some lessons. Both kids skiing skills improved greatly this season and we are happy that we can enjoy this activity as a family. 

We are very fortunate that we live half a block from an outdoor rink and were able to take advantage of it this year. Ryan even took Micah out few times for hockey practice and Micah enjoyed that immensely.

No snowy winter is complete without some sledding. This year we checked out a few sledding hills in our neighbourhood.

Although we tried to make the most of winter in Canada, I have to admit, I am so glad that spring is here. I am ready for summer!
