Early Season POW!

So fun to get away from a very stressful Fall Season and luck out with some great weather and snow at Blackcomb. Team Nielsen and Team Roberts know how to bring out the visa card so we can drop off the kids at ski camp and enjoy the day sans mini people. 
Dob nearly got kicked out of our racing club, team LIA (losers in action...yes, we're that good on the hill) due to his genuine air catching abilities. Then he pulled a Barney on a rail, gouged his shin and later that night ended up with 5 stitches in emergency. It's ok though, he worked it at the party last night trying to pull chicks in his kilt and showing off his scar.

 (Personally, I think a band aid would have been fine.) 
Drum roll please....presenting...
 ....BUTTERCUP!
This last pic deserves a blog entry of its own. I was trying to capture Fatty and Buttercup gliding off the lift with a blue sky in the background, romantic, blissful...
but then Fatty bailed. That's why he's in LIA.

Advent Calendar By Sav and Mac

 Before and after. And in a few hours we set about filling them. We've got some sweet lego and more arts and crafts stuff, but still looking for eco/healthy ideas for the last week or so!

I think it's going to be early mornings and cold rinks for us...

He's mad for it!

King Bed

One finds many random things in a king size bed. Shoes, trucks, orange peels ...and sometimes two not-so-small children cuddling with a tablet in the middle.

KOM (King of the Mountain)

MegaDob came home from a ride, all chuffed: I'm King of the Mountain! (KOM for the cool kids)

Ashley: Huh?

Mega: On Strava.

Ashley: Huh?

Mega: On the app that tracks your time on certain routes and shares your time with any one using the app, Strava

Ashley: That's great Mega. On what trail are you KOM?

Mega: A secret trail, on Burnaby mountain.

Ashley: A secret trail?

Mega: Yeah, it's not marked on the map.

Ah well, a secret trail but still his first (Canadian) KOM-- congrats MegaDob!

I don't know that this vid requires much explanation...
