The polar vortex has returned this week...that means walking walking to school in -20C/-4F temperatures. Only 3 more weeks until the first official day of spring yet I'm not feeling very optimistic that spring is bringing warmer temps...though anything above zero sounds just lovely. And even though this week will again be unbearably cold we have been having fun this winter aka the coldest winter in Canada in the past 25 years.
We've had some incredible amounts of snow and have gotten really good on walking and navigating our way on icy sidewalks. Pushing the stroller through the snow is a better workout than going to any gym!
Anna loves walking through the snow...one day it snowed to waist deep on her causing me to write a letter to Santa asking if it was too late to ask for a snow blower....
and causing Anna to find joy in hopping through the snow!
We started an "igloo" that has been re dug out numerous times from snow fall...
Anna and Alastair searching for their igloo
Alastair re-digging and shaping what is now a ...
snow cave!
Anna's favourite part of all our snow is the ski hill Alastair built her in the backyard. And because of the Olympics Anna now ends every ski lesson/ski run down the hill with her arms in the air yelling "Yeah!!! Medal!!!!"
