Spring is here - goodbye Winter

 
New wheels: getting around the neighbourhood in record time.  This is almost home after a 5 km ride to the library and back.  We had to stop at the playground at the school for a bit.  2 hours.

 
Getting better balance!

Chance with face paint for 100th day of school.  They were to dress as if they were 100 years old.  He is a Grumpy Old Man.  This is pretty good.....by the time we got to school the makeup was starting to run....he looks like a castmember for The Walking Dead later on in the day!
 
 
Have been enjoying spring time weather for last few days.  We did a fair amount of skiing this winter and usually got out most weekends for a day.  Got into a nice little routine of packing the night before, waking up early, stopping at Tim Horton's on the way out of town for coffee and bagels (and TimBits).  Only forgot our packed lunch on the kitchen counter once.  We had good luck putting Karin into the daycare for the morning and then picking her up at lunch time.  After eating, we'd go out to use the tube park either as a family or while Chance got in a few more runs with either Cam or myself.  She'd be good for about 6-10 tube runs and then it would be 3:00, time to go home.  Towards the end of the winter with weather improving, we tried her on skis.  First time was an epic FAILURE, with tears and tantrums after 2 runs down the bunny hill.  Next time around, she was much better, a little more patient, and able to do the green runs on the Bronze chairlift (with assistance).  Everyone under the age of 30 would be asleep before we hit the first roadcut on Hwy 40.
