A bit of winter with friends

Today we went out to Boucherville to go skating with Ben, Kate and Pascal. Sabrina was on skates, Mathieu and I were on boots. We had a great time playing hockey and throwing snow balls. I know someone created the biggest snowball of them all...

It was really nice out there and as a bonus there was almost no one on the ring. A lot of snow of the rink but we still had a great time.

Today was a slow day. Suzanne and Sabrina played some Donkey Kong on the WII.

Afterwards we went skating. A very slow day, but quite pleasant.

Donkey Kong is great. Sabrina is an expert at the game.

Ski Day; St-Hubert Chicken

Today was an amazing ski day. The kids and I went to St-Bruno to do some very good skiing. They're becoming so good it's very pleasant to ski now.

At the chalet we got to meet their favourite mascot:

Now this is a big thing. The kids have always been terrified of clowns and mascots. Now every time they see a mascot it's got to be a big hug. We're still working on the clowns...

Lucky Mathieu manages to find a dime while skiing in the middle of the mountain. You got to see it to believe it.

You have to realize that he's skiing, in the middle of nowhere, and just finds a dime. He does this all the time.

Not much snow for a ski day

The kids and I went skiing today. As you can see there was not much snow. Oh how I wish we had a chalet up North, in Tremblant...

We still had fun.

Karate Demo

We got to see a Karaté demonstration at school today. I love watching the kids do karate. Sabrina may not be strong, but she has determination. Eventually, she'll become quite good.
