SNOW FAIRIES

I believe in Fairies. One day while out trekking at Running Y I saw some fairies come dancing across the snow. It was magical! Here I am clunking through the snow sinking with every step and here come these fairies fairly dancing across the snow! They didn't even leave a print!




I hope all of you believe in fairies. Maybe someday you'll get
to play with some like I did!





If you ever get the chance to play with Fairies then you should.
Fairies keep you from growing old.
All good things come to an end eventually. This day with the Fairies
was fast closing. I miss them already!

They stayed with us through the long trek back and then so
fairy like...disappeared.

PLAYIN WITH MY BUDDY

The world takes on fresh meaning when a child is around. Everything to them is new and exciting. It's so fun being a kid. Playing with one brings back that memory.
Mathias came to play while his parents went shopping.
First ...build a fort...



Since it was snowing (again) we decided to go out and play in it.









When I was a little girl we didn't have mittens or boots.
We used plastic bags for insulation. Mathias thought it
quite fun putting baggies on his hands and feet!


He wasn't sure if he was done yet...but then we mentioned lunch and he got excited.
We played in the tent some more and when mom and dad came we were hiding in it
and jumped out and scared them!

FAMILY FUN AT THE RUNNING Y 2008

This great vacation spot is only 1 1/2 hrs from home. We rented 3....3 bedroom condos this yr. plus a 1 bedroom (for John...he hates noise)...hehehe...with John's connections the condos were only 65$ night. These are small homes by the way. Fully equipped with full size kitchens and large dining table, living room with gas fireplaces, spacious decks with BBQ's. Which we used by the way.




If our hair looks wet we had just come back from swimming in the spacious pool, hot tub, and basking in the sauna. Robyn spent a lot of time in the kiddy pool because it was warmer than the pool. hmmmm...warmer? I wonder why?
Other activities besides swimming, were sledding, ice-skating, trekking, snowmobiling...(just kidding we don't have any...but if we did there is near by lake of the woods for plenty of trails!) cross country skiing, sno shoing...hanging out and eating smores...
It's really fun watching the marshmellow in the microwave!


I'll post some great sledding and trekking pics next time.
Here's what Molly got on the ice-skating...





Outside of the rink is a huge gas firepit to warm up by.
The weekend was too short. If anyone wants to join us next year that would be awesome!
Here's a couple of pics up at lake of the woods on the way home.



Remember to stay tuned for more pics...sledding and trekking....
