Congratulations Chesley, for completing your swimming class!
Chesley’s skills got better through the last two weeks as he began to feel more and more comfortable putting his head under water. The class was 30 minutes each day for 9 days and he’s already looking forward to taking another one next summer.
To celebrate Karl’s 30th birthday we spent the day in Sauble Beach, Ontario. It was a hot and humid day, making for the perfect weather for our trip. We spent our time wading in the water, digging in the sand, walking through the shops, and enjoying some local food.
Happy 30th Birthday Karl!
We went on a hike at Allen Park and enjoyed seeing all the signs of spring. There were several different kinds of flowers, buds on the trees, and even some bugs flying around.
We ended up going down a long trail and were wishing we had brought some water to drink. Next time we will be prepared!
Kaden and Chesley have been taking advantage of the warmer weather by riding their bikes and exploring around our new home.
What can I say… Boys + Outdoors = Lots of Fun!
This weekend we put on some ice skates and ventured out on the icy pond. What a great time we had together!
It was Chesley and Kaden’s first time but already we have seen a great improvement. By the end of the season they’ll be pro-skaters, ready to try out for the 2011 winter Olympics! Oh wait… they would have to wait till 2014. :)
The sun is shining bright, the sky is a beautiful blue, and there is a blanket of pristine white snow that lures you out of your home to enjoy the view. But, when you step outside the cold shocks your system and the wind is harsh enough to instantly change your mind about that short walk you were going to take. It has been terribly cold outside the last few days, even when bundling up.
Today the temperature is only -15°C (or 5°F) and last night it got down to -21°C (-5°F). The boys have been enjoying though. ;-)
Brrr!
