Victoria Day is in May here, so we joined our friends Derek and Sarah in Canmore for a relaxing weekend. We weren't able to leave until after Clarissa's ballet (the exam was coming up). That made for a relaxed drive though, as most of the traffic had already gone. It was the final ski weekend of the season, and we liked it so much we begged our way back for the beginning of July!

Family Spring Picnic

Spring finally arrived in May, and the family (minus David in Ft. McMurray) headed out to the park for some fun in the sun! The geese and ducks were out on the ice, and they didn't seem all that hungry when Clarissa and Sophia offered them food. It wasn't shorts weather, but as everyone was saying, it wasn't snowing either!

Easter Bunny Arrives!

The Easter Bunny found Sophia and Ashlyn at Auntie Randi and Uncle Doug's house early (6:15 am) Easter morning. I'm not sure this will become a tradition... There was much chocolate and some fun times, with lamb for dinner!

Winter Field Trips

 
Well, I didn't manage to keep up with posting, but better late than never... In February I was out with the University students looking for life under the ice. There was life (some Chara in the jar), but lots of snow and ice too! We had some fun (see the snowman?) and got our data, and no one fell in (usually it's me that has that issue!).
