Cohen Ice Skating & Kyah...Being Weird

6 Weeks ago Cohen could not even stand up on his skates so I think he has progressed well. Here is an unedited clip of Cohen skating and Kyah goofing around. As always the best quality is through the direct Youtube Link.

Something Funny for Your Monday

Something funny to watch while I upload a video of Cohen ice skating; should be done tonight. Hopefully you don't have to be a mountain biker to find this funny. It makes me think if the "Al Qaeda Drifter," I will see if I can find that and post it too...Edit - Found the Arab Drifter; it is the second video


Good bye Sunday on pinkbike.com

Geocaching: Mt Thom

I took Cohen & Kyah Geocaching up Mt. Thom yesterday. The cache was up the top of the hill so it was a tough slog for the Twins in the snow. In hindsight it probably wasnt my best idea this week as Kyah was very whiny on the walk. I thought she was being her usual self but it turns out she was actually very tired. She fell asleep on the drive home and then asked to have a nap in her bed, which never happens. Enjoy the pictures...

Geocaching at Cultus

I had an optional day of work today as the stock markets were closed due to Family Day back east and Presidents Day is the US; I took the option not to work. In the spirit of Family Day I took Cohen and Kyah to Cultus Lake Provincial Park for some treasure hunting (i.e. Geocaching). It was a little chilly and snowed off and on but we managed to find two caches! Here are a few pictures of the happy hunters...

Winter Campfire

Yesterday Chelsey asked me what I wanted to do. I said "lets have a campfire and make hot dogs." So after Cohen's skating lesson we booted up to Jones Lake for a campfire and boy was the scenery nice. The lake was frozen over with at least a foot of ice and there was a bit of snow around but really it was all good. The kids were great except for a short period of whining about being cold, we didn't bring snow suits. Chelsey made the kids a snow slide while I built the fire and the kids said they had fun. Enjoy the pictures...


BC Parks: Cypress Mountain Provincial Park

Chelsey had got me a gift certificate for two to go snowshoeing on Cypress. We finally cashed in last weekend and headed up for our guided tour. There were supposed to be other people in our group but no else showed up so Chelsey and I got a private tour. It is something we both had wanted to do for a while so we were stoked to go. The plan is to take the kids next time as I think they would enjoy it. We also scratched off another BC Park on our 50 Things to Do List. Enjoy the pictures...
