Don't you wish you were here?

It was Krisin's birthday in the middle of December. So, for her birthday I gave her a ticket to Smithers. We visited, enjoyed the beauty, serenity and nice weather.

We cleared the ice and went skating...

played with the animals....
and went to one of Josh's basketball games. They were losing badly but with 20 seconds to go the score was 37 40 for the other team. Josh's team got a 3 pointer!...and the game went into overtime. It was the most exciting grade 8 basketball game I have ever seen!
Head stands in the snow? Who does that?
We went snowboarding......

Some of us looked really good....Some not so good. (Sorry Kris)

Pardon the poor quality pic, (it was getting dark), but we saw a couple moose nice and close.


We went horseback riding.....

and once we figured out that we couldn't fit 3 people on a horse we hooked the sled behind and went "sleighing."
We went snowshoeing.....

and some of us worked.

Oh yeah, we went snowmobiling too. There was so much powder the old polaris had a hard time.

And, the glorious topper offer of the whole weekend was the nasty flu that I picked up. It hit hard and fast and was brutal....but it left almost as quickley as it came and I was doted on the entire time, it was great! - Well as great as a nasty flu can be.

So all in all, we accomplished a lot this weekend!
