March 2017


Cara's class got to go to the new Bell Centre for a field trip.  It is a music museum and is very cool.  Here she is building an instrument on a peg wall.


Rocking out with a guitar.


In this room, you could use your body as an instrument.


On Sundays, Gwen helps her mom make supper while Dad takes Cara to Glee Club.  She is getting pretty good!


On St. Patrick's Day we had visitors, some cousins AND a leprechaun!


He left a mess and enough coins for all the kids.


On the weekend, we hit the zoo with the McIntyres.  It was a pretty nice day and the animals were very active.


We took a break for lunch.


Our kids never get tired of the zoo.


Simon kept waiting for the zoo fun to start.


Connor was eating like some sort of animal.


A peanut butter sandwich smile.


The grandkids standing by Grampy's favourite statue at the zoo.


We got to see a baby penguin and his friends.


Uncle Jamie and Amelia joined us for the trip.


The fun siblings.


The McIntyres would come to pick the girls up at school and put the playgrounds to good use.


One last pic with Aunt Mary before flying home.  The girls had a good time with their cousins.


Gwen's class had an assembly about Canada and its native animals.  They sang a couple of songs, including Gwen's favourite "Canada In My Pocket".


We went for a hike near Cochrane at Glenbow Ranch.  It had been a few years since we'd been there and we went on a great long hike through a working ranch.


By the end we were a little tired so we took some breaks to enjoy the view and the big sky.


Cara and Dad went to a Flames vs Sharks game.  Cara's two favourite teams battling it out was too good to miss.


She said she didn't care who won, but she was mostly cheering for the Sharks.


Dad wore a Flames hat to support the home team.


The Sharks lost, but the Flames clinched a playoff spot, so it was still a great game!
