Final days of skiing at Whistler Blackcomb

 Skiing at Whistler Blackcomb for the Tyee ski camp:  three days of heaven.
 Here are the kids warming up with Sergei the greatest coach ever!


Bruno getting ready to ski

 The view was incredible
Silly boys!!!

Walking to school....alone!



Well, a new change....the boys are walking to school alone.  Can you believe I waited until they were in grade 5 and 3....here they are meeting me at the school after walking (or running) on their own!

 

Spring Happenings

 What a spring....can't believe we are nearly in June.....so much has happened this spring; we began Spring Break skiing at Sun Peaks
 Bruno's Bridge Project
 Happy times at Easter

 Boris looking regal as ever
 Max's class visits Victoria to see the Legislature Buildings
 

 A wee stop by the Empress
 Onto the Royal BC Museum....

 Max and his fantastic class!
 Learning about government is always fun!
A great track season was had by all; here is Max running the 1500!

Sun Peaks for Spring Break

 Off to visit one of our favourite mountains:  Sun Peaks for the Nancy Greene Ski Festival


The boys are so big now; hard to believe

Bruno looks mysterious with this bandana he wore the entire time

Nancy Greene giving out medals (Bruno got one but I have no reasonable pictures)

Walking the village

Go Bruno Go!
Looking good, Max!
One of my favourite mountains:  Sun Peaks has great terrain, a wonderful village, and it is family friendly!

Will I be this type of Mother in Law?

I love this post about being a mother to boys

I will be the notorious mother in law, or ....I can begin right now to work on being gracious, as I have a bit of time (say the next 10 years!)


I am sad the day they leave me for someone else!

SFA Open House

 Max's report on immigration:  writing about Oma's story...



 Bruno studies the Chrysler Building in New York...hopefully we can visit it soon!

 Look at all the great buildings studied in grade 3:  wonderful work everyone!

Max's description of self:  "I am a little grade five student....."

SFA's annual Open House  is always a treat...it is nice to see what the boys are working on and to catch up with their teachers.  Bruno has been studying Structures and Buildings and Max just finished a unit on Immigration.  Good work, boys!
