Ski Season Banquet Weekend

The ski season wrap up party was a month ago, but since Alison and Bob skied on May 21, it seems fitting that this doesn't get posted until it really is over for the season.

Wrap up day is a very fun event where children are encouraged to dress up like bears,


or cows that hide behind monsters,


race a sibling,


and then beat their dad.


In the evening, we have a banquet where girls present fun cheers or songs about Freezing Feet. Fun!

Alice in Wonderland

Alison was in the musical production of Alice in Wonderland Jr at school this year. She had a lot of fun singing in the chorus, because the chorus was encouraged to ham it up and interact with the characters on stage.

She even got to wear a duck hat.



Her friend Jo was Alice. Jo is quite the singer and actress. She seemed to enjoy herself, too.


And when it is all over, we went to Dairy Queen. Does it get any better?

Spring Soccer

Even though skiing isn't over yet, Sarah has started spring soccer. Her team this year is wearing red, which she doesn't like so much.

This is from her first exhibition game, a couple of weeks ago. The weather is something we didn't like so much.



Yep, snow on the field. Gotta love Calgary in the "spring."

(Fortunately, that is all gone now and we are wearing shorts. With sweat shirts and wind breakers, but shorts on the bottom, which we do like. So much.)

The Ethans come to Lake Louise

Woo Hoo! We got to share the routines of our lives with the cousins from Winnipeg! They took some lessons and then joined us on the slopes of Louise for a few fun days making lots of turns!


Learning to ski was a snap!

I think they had fun.

We went skating at the Chateau, too!
