1st Ball Hockey Game

This year Blair decided to try something different instead of soccer he decided to try ball hockey, his team is the Sundogs and they were the league champions last year. Mom doesn't know this but its a ploy to get her going to the rink while its warm then we can slowly ease her into going when its cold and there's ice to skate on!

That's Blair wearing #8, warming up before the game.

Blair letting rip with a wrist shot that he's been perfecting in the garage, its so deadly that he dropped his teammate standing in front of the net with a hard shot to the kneecap!

Blair, played out, coming off after a 8-5 defeat over the All-Stars. He did pretty good for his first game, at times it looked like he was still on the soccer pitch but he did manage to get one assist!

Bull's Head Creek Hike

Since Blair & I missed out on our hike this past week in the mountains he decided we should go down in the coulee close to the Ridge. Yesterday the wind finally settled down and the sun came out so we went on a bit of an adventure.

Blair standing just up stream of our skating rink near a newly built beaver dam.

The beavers have sure been busy around here, this is the first time we've noticed any beaver activity around the creek, there was even fresh beaver tracks in the mud along the creek bank.

Blair had to show me how to build a torch, something he learned from his favourite show; "Man vs. Wild" on the Discovery Channel.

More Cousins & Windy Weather

Yesterday the kids were back at the farm to visit the rest of their cousins who couldn't make it for Easter. It started out as a not too bad of a day with +18 weather and a westerly breeze.

Erinn is becoming quite the little driver, maybe next year it will be her turn to get the golf cart stuck in the mud!

The kids excited over something!

Last night the winds were gusting up to 90+ km/hr. A couple of neighbour's lost some shingles and one lost his brand new trampoline! Just after dark a snow storm blew in and this is what we woke up to this morning, you can see from our For Sale sign that the wind is still blowing.

Old School Toys

The kids each got $10 from the Easter Bunny this year and it was burning a hole in their pockets, they just had to go buy something. So, dad convinced them to go to the game store and look at some toys that he had when he was a kid.

Blair decided upon a yo-yo, which was the exact same model dad had when he was a kid.

Erinn bought herself a box of marbles, 160 to be exact and she hasn't lost any yet, not like her parents!

Hoppy Easter!

Well as usual the Easter Bunny arrived again this year. We spent it at the farm near Bow Island and some of the cousins.

The kids doing the traditional signing for Easter candy. This year they seen the Easter Bunny's ears!
