Spring Break

Spring break has come and gone and wow was it full of excitement.

During the first week we went to Kelowna with friends for a picnic in the park, Alice in Wonderland in 3D and hours of fun at the Energyplex (like a fun factory on steroids for those of you in Saskatoon). Then Greta caught whatever bug was going around then passed it on to Joseph.


Greta loves to play with our old camera. Here is an image she took of herself.



The second week of Spring break was full of a blur of activities. We helped Grandpa and Grandpa pack up all their stuff for their move. Went up the mountain to Tube Town to go mini sledding....

and tubing... (Joseph stuck right with me and Edwin took off with his cousins. So I only have pictures of Joe.)
the weather was gorgeous!

Then we drove to Birch Bay to visit James and Tracy and help Mom and Dad move into their new place in Langely. It was James' 40th birthday and he was given the gift of skydiving. I decided to join him!!!

Saturday we drove to Abbotsford for our jump.

Here we are in our super dorky jumpsuits...


receiving instructions so we don't die....



free falling from 10 thousand feet for 60 seconds....


the kids looking on...


and coming in for a gentle landing.

My kids and nieces and nephews came running over to congratulate me!
It was truly AWESOME!!! I'm still in shock that I did it.


After that we jumped back into the car and drove home so I could sing in the choir at church this morning and deal with the madness that is being in the Primary presidency.


All in all it was a great break!

I love that you just "decided" to do it too! You know, no big thing. Like the others have said, you are amazing. So fun to hang out the other night, we need to do it again soon! xoxo
