Rescue wolfie

We went sliding down the hill at the duck pond today. It was beautiful weather and the snow was fast. The boys decided that they would practice their luge and bob-sleigh skills. They had some amazing rides and it seems that they are quite fearless.

Both Hootie and Wolfie came with us and they were treated to some rides too.

Are you ready for your ride ?

The sledding soon turned into a rescue mission. Josh would slide down the hill and would release Wolfie. After that Jed was on a rescue mission to pick him up while he slid down the hill. It was a lot of fun.

That evening we had Awanas. The kids always love to play with the parachute.

Barefeet

It was a lot warmed today - about 0C. So the boys went outside and said that it felt like summer. They proved it by walking barefoot on the snow.

Snow Play

Today, the weather was milder than what it has been for a long time. So that meant that we were outdoors today. Jed and Josh spent a long time working on their snow fort.

They were amazed that the Stop sign was so small !!

Lots of fun was had sliding down the hill.

After playing outside, we sat down to afternoon tea. The boys enjoyed their Rooibos tea and tea biscuits. But while enjoying it,  they were busy designing and planning their snow fort.

 Then it was off to swim club. They had fun, but looked tired afterwards.

 After supper, it was "movie Night" with dad. They enjoyed watching "Facing the Giants".

The case of the missing Cheesie

Tonight we had a mystery that needed to be solved. Both Jed and Josh were given 2 Cheesies after supper. Jed only ate one and the other one went missing. Before we knew it, the "Case of the missing Cheesie" was underway.

Jed was the detective and Josh was the trusted sniffing hound. The Cheesie was never found, but they had fun looking for it.
