Snow tubing.

It's been an abysmal ski season this year with disappointing levels of snow or should we say lack thereof.  The family has been thinking that this would be the year that Malcolm would try skiing, but with the warm temperatures and low snow pack, the season is quite questionable. It's almost reminiscent of the 2010 year when they had to fly in snow to the Olympic events to ensure the events would take place.  Well despite the low snow, the family headed up to Cypress to do some tubing with Camila and uncle Nick. Here are some pics, oh and Joseph and Nicole came along too! It was a fun few hours on the mountain.

Tobogganing at Seymour.

Roger and Tracey said that it was a fantastic day on the hill today. As they cut through the fog, they were greeted with glorious sunshine and a temperature inversion at Seymour. Their initial thought was to have the whole family up for the ride, too bad Melody wasn't being compliant. She's certainly difficult to convince once she's made up her mind. In fact, yesterday she missed her skating lesson cause she outright fought to stay home. Roger and Tracey thought it would be okay since she has been fighting a cold, but today was really no different. Luckily, Gomo came over to watch her while Roger, Tracey and Malcolm headed up to play in the snow.

Malcolm really had a stellar weekend. His behaviour has been much better over the last several days. He even got back all of the toys that were temporarily confiscated during the holidays. Now the question is whether he can keep it up. Yesterday, despite his initial reservations about going to skating, he did very well. We know it can't be easy being the smallest and youngest kid in the class, but he really did put a great effort forward. Today, he spent over three hours tumbling, sliding and rolling around in the snow. Let's just say that he was asleep in 10 minutes and has been sawing lumber since 8:30pm. He loves playing in the snow. I think that's pretty clear in the images below:
