Spring in Canmore

Yes, the first day of spring was the other day...and in true Alberta fashion, we got snow!  One day I'm going to live somewhere where spring actually means flower blossoms, warmer weather and trail running and mountain biking.  Until then, we will enjoy what we have; sunshine and fresh air.  :)

Who says you can't bike in the snow!

Kids love biking on the neighbours driveway

Did a little hike up the mountain beside our house to watch the diggers work at fixing the creek.  Can't beat the gorgeous view.

Who doesn't love a good deep puddle to splash in!

Something tells me I'm going to need to get the kids bikes with shocks soon!

Downhill skiing

We have been meaning, all winter, to take the kids downhill skiing.  The weather lately has been freezing on the weekends...making us less that willing to take Madison and Evan to the ski hill....until today.  Was a pretty special day for Grant to be teaching his kids to ski.  Madison did really well; even managed to go down for a bit without holding on to Grant...Evan, on the other hand, was a bit of a wet noodle..haha...not quite ready for skis yet, but he still wanted to try.
