There was tobogganing on Monday of this week but we couldn't find a sled in time. I guess with the Christmas rush most of them were sold out. We finally found a couple of magic carpets but couldn't make it in time to toboggan with the other homeschoolers. So, I made a point to try and toboggan this week. We needed to get out. Zoe wasn't acting herself. I think that they are feeling the stress of the move. I went out to get her dance gear for her to start lessons this week and on our way back we saw some people on a hill. School is in so they must have been homeschoolers. I'm amazed by how many homeschoolers there are here. We didn't try and make it back to that hill to try and catch them. It gets dark before 4pm here so we decided to stay close and go to the hill we knew was walking distance from our house. It has been mild here but as you can see we still have a good deal of snow.
Walking through the snow is difficult for them if we have to walk far. It made me wonder if people who live here get snow shoes. LOL!! We are suppose to get 10 cm of snow the next day. I wonder how much snow we'll have before he spring thaw comes. We have a couple of months of winter to go, at least. Life in the west is interesting.
The hill we have near our house is just small, but they had so much fun. I think that using the magic carpets might require more physical skill and muscle use. The kids caught on right away.
Zoe was wiping out all the time and screaming. She made Austyn and I laugh so hard. We needed this!

I mentioned that the day after this was calling for 10 cm of snow. We got that and then the next day 10 cm again. LOL! Lots of snow and no plows, but everything still runs and everyone shows up for what they have to get to. It's so different than back in Ontario. LOL!
Wow, that is a lot of snow! They looked like they had so much fun. Yes, when Windsor gets some snow life grinds to a halt! lol
