The boys started snowboarding lessons this weekend. They picked snowboarding over skiing. I guess its cooler. They had lots of fun. I didn't hear any complaints about falling or the cold or anything. Lets see how it goes getting them there next week though. Its 3 lessons, and I guess they can snowboard like pros after that. Next weekend isn't supposed to be quite as cold, which is good because on the drive over there (about 20 min away) the windows on the inside of the car were covered in ice, and the heat was on! I kept thinking we would all die soon like that movie The Day After Tomorrow......I guess I better find out how cold it got in that movie!
If you can't tell...Tyler's in the black helmet with the red jacket with white stripes, while Grant has the red helmet and same jacket.
This weekend was also the Christmas party for Frank's work. The company pays for half the hotel room, so we got two rooms and the kids stayed in the next room with a teenage daughter of someone else while we were at the party. Mason went to bed and slept in our room.....until we tried to go to bed that is. And I spent the night with a high fever. This time I did get a prescription from the very same doctor, so I must be sick now. And without insurance the Rx was $8.57, and the dr visit was covered by Alberta Health, so I'm thinking this socialized medicine thing might be a good thing.
We also took the kids swimming at the hotel before the party. Who would ever imagine swimming and snowboarding all within 24 hrs?
