February 2017

We introduced the girls to "real" Monopoly (they have a kid version) and Gwen beat us all first time!
Beginner's luck! 
 We've had lots of snow this winter - the girls and our neighbour walk home from school together and play along the way.
 Cara finished Swimmer 3 and is now on to Swimmer 4 in April!
 Gwen finished her first time in Swimmer 1 and will do it again in April - lots to learn in Swimmer 1!
 Nana came for a visit - the girls were happy to see her!
 Gwen's went on her first field trip (on a school bus!).
Her class went to Fort Calgary for a day and Mom got to go along as a parent volunteer.
She learned about the NWMP and the RCMP
She also learned about and got to build a log cabin! 
 Cousin Amelia came by for a day.
 Gwen likes sharing her old baby toys with Amelia.
Cousins!
 February was Literacy Month at school and they had a "dress up like a character from a folktale, legend, myth day"
Cara just finished reading a book about Medusa so she was Medusa!
 Toga and snakes (and sunglasses to protect her classmates from her stone gaze)
 Gwen chose the Gingerbread Boy.
She ran all the way to school saying "you can't catch me! hahah!"

 Family Day weekend the girls had their first ski lesson!
 Just a 1 day lesson in the city.
 They look like naturals.
 Cara did great skiing down the hill.
 Gwen did great too - she is the speed demon we expected!
 Had to check out a bobsled at the Olympic Park too.
 The new goggles might be the best part of the day :)
 Family Day weekend movie - had to go see The Lego Batman movie!
 And our traditional Family Day Skate!
We all had a great time skating!
