Cypress Mountain

February 17, 2020 No Comments

It’s Family Day in Canada and President’s Day in the U.S. We went to Cypress Mountain today and it was particularly busy because of the holiday. The kids got geared up and registered for their lessons.

Janie took a higher level class today and learned a lot!

After lessons, Mama and Dada took Janie up the bigger green runs and she had the best time!

Look how grown up she looks!!

It was fun to take her up the really high ski lift.

At the end of the day, everyone was too tired to keep going but Janie begged Mama to take her up a few more times. There was a lot of waiting but she entertained herself with snowballs.

What a fun day on the slopes!!

Grouse Mountain

February 16, 2020 No Comments

After checking in to the hotel and getting our snow gear on, we headed up to Grouse Mountain.

There was a gondola ride up to the main area and we had a beautiful view of Vancouver at night.

This place is so fun and doesn’t require any equipment. We took a walk through the lighted snow trail and did a little sledding too.

This is Ellie going down.

Here’s Peanut on the sled.

For dinner we ate at the restaurant there and the kid’s meals were served in a gondola box. So fun!

Peanut had to demonstrate how it works.

He also fell asleep at the dinner table. Poor guy was exhausted.

Peanut tagged along on Mama’s run today. He rode his scooter and was hard to keep up with! What a workout for Mama.

Janie wanted to show Mama what she could do on the playground. She said she “made up this routine”. I’m amazed at her upper body strength.

Motor Development

January 23, 2020 No Comments

At Samuel Merritt University (where Mama went to graduate school), the kids were invited to be a part of a motor development class. The instructors work with Mama and the other participants were are buddies Hudson and Henry (Auntie Teresa’s kids). They did a great job performing in front of a giant class of PT grad students.
