Mini z's, Telus Park and Dog Sledding

Spring Break has been busy, busy, busy so far.  I've been promising the children they could go on the mini skidoos for ages, but kept thinking of other things to do.. finally I ran out of excuses so off we went.  What a huge mistake that was, Lucy drives a skidoo a bit like she skis...usually looking at what's happening behind her instead of what's going on in front!!! They all had a few laps mostly with me shouting at Lucy 'Look where you're going!!' until she went over the bank, took out a post with some lights on it and nearly tipped the whole thing over.  I ran to the rescue to be met by Charlie coming the other way, also coming to the rescue but had forgotten where the safety switch was and promptly ran me over....Not my best day! This picture was taken before the carnage started!

Yesterday we went to Telus park, a terrain park at Big White with all sorts of things you can do tricks on...a half pipe, a ski cross course which is fantastic fun, but on this day the children wanted to try out the boxes, rails and jumps.....



This morning we went Dog Sledding, which was organised by the school but very kindly donated by the parents of one of the children (good thing too because normally it costs $195 for 20 mins!!!  The children absolutely loved it, they got picked up from a warming hut in the woods before going on a tour and then had an opportunity to play with the dogs and ask questions.

  1. Looks like you are having a busy time - you will have to come home for a rest!
    Oh how I would have liked to see the three of them of mini skidoos - fortunate for you Joy that they don't go too fast!!!
    Telus Park looks great fun as does the dog sledding. xx

  2. Fab images...... rollerblades might be the spring and summer family Carr thing. Ned and Charlie can make ramps, do turns, skids keep themselves in skiing mode. Those table top jumps are Sam & Archie's favourite motorcross leap and your tribe looked gorgeous and confident doing their gifted stuff.

    Can't wait to see you all.
