Kids First Skating Lessons

We took the kids for their first ice skating lessons yesterday. It was more a lesson on how to stand up unassisted. There was no crying or whining so I guess we can say it was a success. Here are the photo's of Cohen and Kyah's first time on the ice...

Could it be True?

With bad weather forecast's this winter and fall I have officially lost faith in those buggers. Last week we were supposed to get at least 10cm of snow and got nothing. Yesterday we were supposed to have nothing and got a little dusting. The picture below shows what we got in about 30 minutes and then we had flurries for the rest of the night so we ended up with a few centimeters overall. Now, as you can see from the forecast below they are calling for a shitload of snow later this week. The only reason I am somewhat optimistic about that forecast is that The Weather Network has been a lot more accurate then Environment Canada; fingers crossed that The Weather Network is right again and we get dumped on!!!

New Years 2010/2011

This year we spent the New Years weekend in Campbell River visiting Kim, Nick and Baby Easton. We went for Chinese buffet one night and had Turducken another night. To work it all off Nick and I took the kids Geocaching a couple of times. Here we have a couple of pictures of the weekend.

It is in My Blood

It seems that fishing is in my blood and that could be why I like it; I wonder if any past relatives were bike riders too...Tom Woods is my Papa (My Dad's Dad).




Steelhead Fishing on the Chilliwack River

When Kim & Nick were over at Christmas time Nick, my Dad and Myself went fishing for "The Fish of a Thousand Casts" aka a Steelhead. Obviously as Nick is such a bad fisherman we didnt catch anything but Dad got a bunch of good photos...
