Opening weekend.

New season.

New gear.

Let's see how this goes…

Making memories in our happy place!

Ski Fernie.

We took a few weeks off skiing to enjoy palm trees and swimming pools.

I'm not going to say which is my favorite.

We are back into the snow and back on the skis.

Fernie Spring skiing is fantastic!

I rode solo in the morning.

SO MUCH SNOW.

This was our afternoon activities.

Skipped naps and all!  No really, we did.

Of course Apres ski was as fun as always with all four of us!

Skiville!

We've been working on building a wee ski hill on our front lawn.

(big surprise right?!)

It has already been put to good use with all our early season snow.

The one in the back yard is complete with steps and a slide.

Winterwonderland!

FIRST Tracks!

I am BURSTING with huge amounts of PRIDE!

It was a weekend of so many near tears moments.  Good tears.

I can't really put it in words but I bet most are well aware of that very same emotion.

PRIDE is an amazing concept.

It brings out smiles, and tears, and feelings I never thought I'd let overcome me.

I now know why my Mom would cry at my ringette games and never missed many.

And why my Dad took such joy in standing behind the bench coaching for so many years.

I'm a proud parent.

He skis!

And the fact that he is 

    just wee

    barely talking

    learning a million things a day

    nearly as small as his actual skis

makes it even more special.

   

 

Super creepy animal flags on the kids hill!

The Dad is the talented one on skis/snowboards.

And the Mom is learning to take photos.

This is why you will rarely see me on this blog, which is totally OK in my world.
