]]> Melanie and Andrew started a new session of Gymnastics at Altadore and they are both Loving It! Andrew is an absolutely monkey, and although he’s very small, he’s also very strong. He was built to be a gymnast and he has been doing somersaults in the living room almost every day since they started going to gymnastics. Melanie also loves it and she has been trying to complete a cartwheel. Here are some images from one of their gymnastics classes, and also a couple of videos from their antics in the living room!

]]> This will be the last skiing video for awhile, I promise. In fact I wasn’t even going to do another one this time, but it was such a beautiful day and I really don’t have any video of Louise or I skiing, so I changed my mind. It was a perfect day for skiing and we had lots of fun even though there hadn’t been any new snow in awhile. We’re not “Big White Whiners” though so we had a blast anyway!

]]> We took Andrew to Nakiska for his first day of skiing. They don’t make skis or boots small enough for him, so we just shoved his feet into Melanie’s old boots and stood him up on her old skis. He loved it! He never fell and he just wanted to go faster. I wonder where he gets that from?

Throughout the day we spent more time resting, playing, and snacking than skiing, but it was a great time anyway…

So this isn’t actually directly family related, but it was a lot of fun to make and I like it, so I thought I would share it here anyway…

I made this after a skiing trip to Lake Louise with my buddy Eddy on Friday. Eddy’s a great skier and we have a great time bombing all over the mountain together. It was an amazing day of blue skies, warm weather, and there was still some fresh powder to be found (if you know where to look)!

This video honestly doesn’t do a great job of showing how good Eddy is, but it does show the type of skiing that we do when we go together.

]]> We too the kids skating and sledding at the outdoor rink at the Riverbend Community Center. It has been very cold lately so the rink is in pretty good shape. We actually got to use the full hockey rink (rather than the much smaller skating are outside the main ring) because nobody was there yet playing hockey. We don’t actually have any skates small enough to fit Andrew yet, so he was “skating” with his boots on. He ran and fell and ran and ran and fell and had a great time! We had the sleds in the van too so we took a few spins down the adjacent hill before going home. Here’s a compilation video to show you some of the fun we had!

Note that the video looks much better if you click on the YouTube link to see it large.

]]> We took the kids to the annual Calgary Hitmen Teddy Bear Toss last weekend. In case you don’t know what this is, it was a WHL Junior hockey league game between the Calgary Hitmen and the Kootenay Ice that was also the annual Teddy Bear Toss, in which the fans throw teddy bears and other stuffed animals onto the ice after the first Hitmen goal. The collected toys were to be given to needy children through the Salvation Army and other charities. Over 14,000 stuffies were collected this year, and it was pretty amazing to watch them being thrown down from the stands to be collected on the ice below.

Andrew wasn’t very happy about throwing his Teddy Bear down, but he eventually got over it and giggled as he saw it fly down!
